Powdery Mildew 
This is the most serious fungus disease 
which is known to attack the foliage and 
fruit of the gooseberry. It is a native 
disease; that is, due to a fungus which 
doubtless occurred upon wild gooseberries 
before cultivated varieties were planted 
in this country. It is found to be much 
more serious upon European varieties 
than American varieties. It is probable

species, not having this fungus to contend 
with, have never developed any natural 
immunity. This disease is present in 
more or less severity in all parts of the 
United States where gooseberries are 
grown.

The spots are at first whitish but later 
become buff or almost brown in color. 
From the fruit the disease spreads rap- 
idly to the foliage and young canes. If 
examined with a pocket lens the spots, 
when young, are seen to consist of a
