THE BOTANY OF THE APPLE TREE. 25 



growth instead of watery, succulent growth aids the tree in resisting 

 attack. 



During the month of October, 1892, the Botanical Department of 

 the Agricultural Experiment Station of Nebraska sent out a list of 

 questions with the object of bringing together the experience of our 

 horticulturists concerning "twig-blight" of the apple. There were 

 one hundred and three sets of questions sent out and fifty sets were re- 

 turned with most of the questions answered. While the Department 

 regrets that there were not more answers received, still it believes the 

 results of the inquiry to be of practical value to the fruit growers of 

 the state and may at least serve as a foundation for a more complete 

 record.
