VINE MILDEW. 
THIs destructive pest which preys upon Vines has spread its 
ravages through several vineries this season, especially those 
that have been subject to it in previous years. From careful 
observations made for some time past the Vine mildew is, in 
my opinion, primarily caused by drought at the roots of the 
Vines. I do not say this is the sole cause of it; there may 
be many causes operating to bring about a diseased condition 
of the tissues of the Vine, subjecting it to disease. 
Vine mildew is generally believed to be brought about by 
the atmosphere of the house being overcharged with moisture, 
and sulphur applied to the pipes and a warm dry atmosphere 
have been recommended as a preventive against its spreading. 
When first seen upon the Vine the fumes of sulphur will 
certainly kill this destructive parasite, but it is not advisable 
to use it if the disease makes its appearance as soon as the 
Grapes are set, for it will cause rust, as the skin of the embryo 
Grape is not sufficiently strong to resist its fumes. 
Ihave found that the warm dry atmosphere of the vinery 
is suitable to the growth of mildew: the drier the Vine is kept 
both at the root and the air of the house the faster spreads the 
mildew, until it attacks every Vine. After hot dry summers 
the disease seems more prevalent than in wet damp seasons, 
especially where the soil used for the Vines is light and sandy, 
more so than when the soil is of a heavier texture. Where 
the roots of the Vine are inacold saturated border and the 
internal atmosphere anything but suitable, or any other cause 
that willbring the Vine into asemi-starved condition, will sub- 
ject it to the ravages of disease; still I hold that root-drought 
is the main cause, and most suitable to its development. 
Three years ago three vineries were under my charge, all of 
which had previously been troubled with mildew. In the first 
house the Grapes were cut on the 28th of April, and being 
compelled to haye many plants in the house forcing for con- 
servatory decoration, the atmosphere was consequently kept 
moist, and no trace of mildew was to be found. The second 
house was treated differently. At the first symptoms of the 
disease the plants were cleared out and a warm dry atmo- 
sphere maintained, and in ten to fourteen days eyery Vine
