Brown Spot, Baldwin Fruit Spot- 157 



a number of years. On the leaves it appears as minute 

 specks, scarcely one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, 

 of irregular shape, and usually yellowish or whitish, with 

 one or more small black specks in the center. When very 

 numerous, they may cause the foliage to fall. 



To control this fungus make five or six applications of 

 bordeaux mixture, as for bitter rot.

Brown Spot, Baldwin Fruit Spot. This disease is caused 

 by a fungus which finds entrance into the apple during 

 mid-summer, and causes the fruit to deepen in color wher- 

 ever the fungus may have found entrance. At the time the 

 fruit is ripening it causes small brownish areas to form, 

 which become somewhat sunken, and the flesh to become 

 dry, brown and quite bitterish to the taste. It can be con- 

 trolled by spraying with bordeaux mixture or even weaker 

 fungicides.
