STUDY OF PLANT DISEASES. 



E. J. Wickson, of Berkeley, director 

 of the Southern California Pathological 

 Laboratory, has announced a plan for 

 the coming season's work which is of 

 great importance to the horticultural in- 

 terests of the state, as it deals with 

 some of the greatest problems confront- 

 ing us at this time. A brief resume of 

 the schedule is as follows: 



The effort to circumvent the walnut 

 blight will continue, with a search for 

 such immune varieties as have been 

 gathered and planted in the vicinity of 

 the plant disease laboratory at Whit- 

 tier, including careful exploration for 

 trees which are productive iii spite of 

 the blight in various parts of the state. 

 Scions are taken from such trees and 

 grafted into various stocks, so that 

 systematic observations c^n ^p.made. 



Investigations in «r4hg6 growing. 

 Particular attention will be. given to 

 brown spot, which has caused great 

 losses in shipping; also gum diseases 

 and yellowing of citrus fruits. Ferti- 

 lization will be studied through field 

 experiments and laborator/^tests. 



Pomological study of the navel 

 oranges, with a view to the selection 

 of improved types; a study of the 

 phases of development of the fruit, and 

 similar research extended to other citrus 

 varieties. 



The investigation of the life histories 

 of the more important insects of citrus 

 fruits will be continued. 



The culture and commercial handling 

 of lemons will be investigated on a 

 broader scale. The diseaise known as 

 anthracnose, or wither tip, will receive 

 particular attention. 



Studies and field tests of protective 

 treatments of leading commercial vege- 

 tables will be extended. 



Crown gall, or tbot knot,' at stone 

 fruits will.-rofteive systematic study and 

 curative treatment. 



The test of peaches with a view to 

 securing varieties of more regfular 

 growth and production, under conditions 

 which invite unreasonable activity or 

 dormancy, will be continued. 



Propagation and growth tests of vari- 

 ous fruits and timber trees and other 

 plants with sewage irrigation, in co- 

 operation with the city of, Pasadena, 

 upon a farm owned for that |)li»pose 6y 

 the city. X 



Increased equipiSeiit of the plant 

 disease laboratory at~^Vhittier and the 

 citrus experiment station at Riverside 

 will be secured, through appropriations 

 for that purpose by the California legis- 

 lature of 1909. 



Especial work under the above ap- 

 propriations, for the investigations on

The Market. 



It seems that the less said about 

 business the better, unless one is not 

 •particular as to what he makes a record 

 of. The weather continues to be rather 

 warm and the nights quite cool. The 

 warm weather has had the effect of 

 bringing all kinds of stock into town in 

 large lots. This is not quite true of 

 roses, however, as this flower is not 

 much in evidence and those that are 

 shown are of poor quality. This is to

 public does not understand it and as a 

 consequence there is a good demand for 

 any fairly good roses. 



Carnations are good, but the price is 

 low. Sweet peas still sell well, bat 

 there is a great scarcity of long- 

 stemmed stock. The newer sorts of 

 gladioli are plentiful and move easily. 

 Dahlias are not yet at their best, but
