PLATE 31. 



Small green apples blighted by Bacillus amylovorus. 



One of these fruits furnished the bacteria used to inoculate the shoots and fruits shown in plates 28 and 29. The interior of these fruits was gorged 

 with a gray-white bacterial slime. The surface was browned and shriveling in many placet and water-soaked in others. Bacteria were oozing 

 from the darker parts. Every one of many fruits examined had been wounded by the curculio, and probably infection occurred in this manner.
