AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 171 



Remarks. 

 Besides the plants mentioned above quite a number of speci- 

 mens of no special economic importance have been examined and 

 reports made directly to the parties sending them. The Potato 

 Rot was considered in an exigency bulletin in the summer of 1889. 

 The subject is of so much importance, that article modified and 

 extended, is incorporated in this Report. The Apple Scab was very 

 bad in Maine the past season. We considered this fungus in our 

 Report for 1888, but now add (through the kindness of Prof. 

 Galloway) the results of some experiments conducted the past sea- 

 son under the auspices of the U. S. Agricultural Department. "We 

 are arranging to conduct some experiments this season upon Apple 

 Scab with the copper solutions. A paper presented by the writer 

 at the Norway Meeting of the State Pomological Society, upon 

 "Some Injurious Fungi of Fruits," will appear in the Report of 

 that Society. It will in that way reach the fruit growers of the 

 State and need not be repeated here. Of the weeds sent for 

 examination the Rib Grass, or English Plantain, and False Flax, 

 or Gold of Pleasure, only need special consideration.
