Apple Scab (Venturia pomi). A very serious disease of the 

 apple. It attacks and kills the foliage and causes black, scab- 

 like spots on the fruit, and also attacks the young growth oc- 

 casionally. The sources of infection are the fallen leaves on 

 which the fungus matures its spores in early spring in time 

 to infect the unfolding leaves.
