edly the continuous cropping to which most of the shelling land 

 was submitted before the vineyards were set. Page 432. 



24. Excessive heat of itself did not cause the shelling. 

 Page 435. 



25. A warm wind, one which would have a tendency to excite 

 active growth, might have a tendency to increase the shelling. 

 Page 435. 



26. A cool wind or cool weather, on the contrary, may stop 

 the trouble to a considerable extent. Page 435. 



27. Powdery mildew was quite prevalent in Chautauqua 

 county in 1894, but it is certain that the usual remedies will 

 check the disease. Pages 436, 441. 



28. Anthracnose is serious in some localities and it is recom- 

 mended that growers make a trial of the acid sulphate of iron 

 solution, as described on page 443. 



Part II. 



29. Shelling, anthracnose, and powdery mildew exist also in 

 the lake region of central New York. The remedies already 

 mentioned are recommended. 



30. Black rot, brown rot, and ripe rot appear to have done 

 some injury in this region during the past season, and the usual 

 remedies are recommended. Pages 444, 446, 448. 



31. The failure of some vineyardists to prevent these diseases 

 was probably owing to a too heavy growth of foliage, and to 

 improper methods of making the applications. 



32. Drought caused some vineyards to suflfer severely. Shal- 

 low and frequent cultivation is probably the most practical method 

 of counteracting this influence. Page 448. 



Part III. 



33. A knapsack sprayer is the most effective machine, but it 

 is the hardest to work and the slowest in covering the plants. 

 Page 450. 



34. Hand pumps allow of much more rapid work, but the 

 work is not always so efifective. Page 450. 



35. Power sprayers, under favorable circumstances, are the 

 most desirable machines for spraying vineyards. Page 450.
