GRAPES CRACKING. 



A correspondent sent in to the office 

 of HoRTicfLTi'KE some liunches of Con- 

 cord grapes in which a nnmber of the 

 berries were cradled or split open to 

 the centre, requesting information as 

 to the cause. We submitted the 

 affected fruit to Prof. A. Vincent 

 Osmiin, head of the Department of 

 Botany at Amherst, Mass., who sends 

 the following reply which may prove 

 interesting to some of our readers: 



The cause of the splitting of these 

 crapes is due, in large part, to the pres- 

 ence of the disease Ivnown as Black 

 Rot, which is caused by a fungus 

 [GuUinarcHa Bichcelli (Ell.)]. The 

 splitting, however, is entirely second- 

 ary and is probably due also, in part, 

 to over-absorption of water during the 

 recent heavy rains. Black Rot is the 

 most destructive grape disease which 

 we have. It may be controlled by fre- 

 quent spraying with 5-5-50 Bordeaux 

 mixture. The first application should 

 be made just before blossoming time; 

 the second, immediately after blossom- 

 ing: and the following sprays at inter- 

 vals of 10-14 days. It is usual to make 

 4 or 5 applications in order to effec- 

 tively control Black Rot and the spray- 

 ing must be done thoroughly. It Is 

 usually not desirable to spray with 

 Bordeaux just before the grapes are 

 ready to harvest as the spray material 

 discolors the fruit and makes it some- 

 what unsightly for market purposes. 

 If the grapes are to be entirely for 

 home consumption, the presence of 

 the spray material on the fruit does no 

 particular harm as it may readily be 

 washed off.
