McCuBBiN, W. A., Peach Canker. Central Expt. Farm Bui. 37 (Second Series), 1918. The 

 cause of the disease is attributed to the fungus Valsa leucostoma (Pers.) Fr. which enters by way of 

 dead twigs, pruning wounds, and other dead tissue, and invades the surrounding live tissue particu- 

 larly in winter. Injury from frost is also thought to play a part in the extension of the canker, 

 and the part played by Sclerotinia cinerea in canker production is discussed. Control measures 

 recommended involve pruning methods for the most part.
