To the Editor 



SIR, — Herewith diseased cutting from a 

 vine bearing for first time : please 

 tell me what to do. I don't know the 

 name of the vine as the labels were lost 

 in transit. Other vines close by (all young) 

 are not affected. 



Yours, etc.,

 common Catawba and Isabella suffer also.
