In all these cases the defects were mainly in foliage ratber than fruit. 



The annual pruning of grapes having been completed, and the cuttings 

 and fallen foliage removed and burned, on November 9 and 10, a thor- 

 ough spray was given them for the purpose of destroying the spores of 

 fungi. 



It is clearly true that, in the interest of pomological accuracy as well as 

 brevity, the use of numbers, whether in connection with names of fruits 

 or otherwise, should never have been tolerated, and should be discouraged 

 and abandoned, notwithstanding the fact that very many otherwise critical 

 and careful pomologists still indulge in their use. In the interest of reform 

 therefore, in this report, numbers attached to names are omitted, save in 

 the case of trial varieties not yet offered to the public, and which have not 

 yet established their right to receive a name. 



Short notices are appended of several desirable, well-known varieties, 

 also of others, less generally known, and of yet others, comparatively new 

 or yet unintroduced.
