 iiiori' or less brown dcail tissue nnil in 

 many cases liie dead areas appear firsl 

 between the main veins oi- at the mar- 

 gins ol' the leaves, that is, at points 

 farthest removed from the water-con- 

 ducting channels. In many cases the 

 affected plants show more or less 

 purpling of the leaf veins upon the 

 under surface, although this is not a 

 constant characteristic and may even 

 l)e exhildlcd to some extent by healthy 

 plants. 'I"he glaucous or grayish sheen 

 of atreeled foliage is not constant, 

 although in some cases it is ipiite 

 noticeable. 



The curling or rolling of the leaflets 

 is very characteristic, although not a 

 diagnostic character. There is a pro- 

 nounced tendency for the edges of the 

 leaflets to roll upward and inward 

 toward the midrib. Again, this charac- 

 ter ma\ be very prounounced or only 

 moderately developed. In some cases 

 the lealleis appear to be more i-igid 

 than those of healthy plants. 



A seriously atlected plant may suc- 

 cumb before it has reached a suflicient 

 size to set any fruit, but in the ma- 

 jority of cases the culmination of the 

 disease is not reached until the host 

 has fruit that is a third or more grown. 

 The attack of the disease hastens the 

 maturing processes and retards the 

 growth of the fruit in size, many of 

 which ripen prematurely. A mature 

 jilant that has succumbed as a result 

 (]f the disease will show brown dead 

 foliage and many under-sized fruits 

 Ihat possess a depth of color indicative 

 of ripeness. 



In a certain per cent of the attacks 

 the afTected plant which has exhibited 

 some of the various symptoms men- 

 tioned, will succumb before the end of
