upon "resistant roots' ' of native grapes has be- 

 come necessary. This method has saved the 

 grape growing industry of Europe and of Cali- 

 fornia. 



The grape cane-borer attacks the young 

 shoots in the spring, causing them to droop 

 suddenly or break off. A brown beetle will 

 be found in a channel leading from a small 

 hole which is above the base of the withered 

 shoot. This insect is especially troublesome 

 in the South, often killing a large part of the 

 new growth. It breeds in old and diseased 

 canes. The preventive is to promptly burn 

 all diseased wood and all primings, and to cut 

 out and destroy injured shoots as soon as 

 seen. 



The grape berry moth is the parent of a 

 minute worm which burrows into the pulp 

 of the grape when it is still green, but of full 

 size, making a discolored spot. Often 

 several of the shrivelled and discolored 

 berries are stuck together. All varieties are 

 attacked, especially the tender-skinned sorts. 

 The insect is destructive to grapes all over 

 the country. Bagging the bunches is the 

 best preventive in the fruit garden. All 

 rubbish, prunings, and fallen leaves should 

 be destroyed. 



The borer, a worm about one and one half 

 inches long, works in the roots and often 

 destroys the vines. Bank soil around the 

 base of the vine. Dig out the borers. 



The rose beetle, a light brown bug about 

 three-fourths of an inch long, often attacks 

 grapes, feeding upon all parts of the plant. 

 It is most common on sandy land and is very 

 difficult to handle. The simplest method 

 practicable when only a few vines are grown 

 is hand picking. Spraying with kerosene 

 emulsion is of considerable value. Poisons 

 are rarely effective. Clean tillage helps to 

 keep the insects from breeding. Bagging 

 the fruit is beneficial. 



THE COMMON FUNGUS DISEASES 



Black rot. The disease attacks berries 

 nearly full grown, making them hard, dry, 

 shrivelled and black. Burn all diseased 

 prunings, rotten fruits, etc. Spraying with 

 Bordeaux is successful. The first spraying 

 is made after the fruit has set and from three 

 to six applications follow. It may be preceded 

 by a spraying before the buds burst. Bag- 

 ging the fruit may be more feasible in the 

 small garden. 



Downy mildew. This disease makes 

 brownish-white patches on the under side of 

 the leaves and the rotting of grapes is mostly 

 caused by this disease. The berries do not 

 become shrivelled, as in black rot, and are 

 brown or gray instead of black. It is worse 

 on Delaware, Roger's hybrids and other 

 thin-leaved varieties and hybrids. The 

 treatment suggested for black rot controls 

 this also. Another rot similar to the ripe 

 rot of apples is also managed in the same way. 



Anthracnose.' This fungus makes deep 

 pits and scars on the old or young 

 shoots and canes and discolors the leaves. 

 Spray with copper sulphate, 4 pounds to 

 50 gallons, before the buds burst. The 

 spraying with Bordeaux, suggested for 

 black rot, gives good results.
