This manual contains a presentation of the known 

 facts and data with respect to the common diseases of 

 fruits. It has been prepared primarily for the modern 

 agriculturist, the farmer, the thinking fruit grower, but 

 it should also be of service to anyone who has an inter- 

 est in plant diseases. The fruits are taken up in alpha- 

 betical order. The discussion of the diseases proceeds 

 in order of their importance and prominence in the 

 United States. Particular attention is paid to the de- 

 scription and illustration of the symptoms, to the cause 

 and to the generally accepted measures of control. 

 Technical details are omitted as far as possible though 

 the effort has been made to present the matter in as 

 popular a fashion as possible.
