kinds, although the importation of the plants from Ireland and the 

 Continent should be prohibited. Other members concurred, and it was 

 pointed out that the fungi found in a certain country frequently attacked 

 newly imported plants with increased vigour, rendering their cultivation 

 practically impossible ; this had apparently been the case with this fungus 

 in Canada. It was pointed out by Mr. Giissow that in a certain year in 

 Germany the cherries were very badly affected by the disease, due to 

 Monilia fmctigena ; but this disease had not appeared to an injurious 

 extent in succeeding years upon the cherry, thus showing that a number 

 of circumstances, acting together, frequently affected the prevalence or 

 otherwise of any fungoid attack.
