or quality. The canes are not dwarfed, but make a normal growth. 

 They do not die back, or remain unripened, or become discolored, but 

 they ripen thoroughly, and remain clean and bright. Canes were taken 

 from vines having the greatest proportion of spotted leaves, and examined 

 under the microscope. Their wood was found to be perfectly healthy, 

 being bright and clear, and not having any brown spots, or streaks. 

 The pith was clear and sound, and the tissues were well supplied with 

 starch, the grains of which color easily with iodine, and were of the 

 usual size. 



Special attention was given to these vines, as it would be quite easy 

 for any one not well acquainted with the Anaheim disease to be led into 

 error by the appearance of the foliage only, and thus create needless 

 alarm. 



Respectfully submitted.

The above report is entirely approved and respectfully submitted to 

 the honorable the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners.
