gradually become thick and felty and change to a dingy 

 brown colour, and can be scraped off in flakes. 



Prevention aitd Remedies. 

 Repeated experiments extending over many years have 

 clearly proved that spraying with a solution of potassium 

 sulphide, in the proportion of I Jibs, of sulphide to 50 gallons 

 of water, is the most effective remedy that can be applied. 

 When the disease has previously existed the first spraying 

 should be done when the leaf-buds are expanding, and con- 

 tinued at intervals of ten days or a fortnight as occasion 

 demands. 



Bordeaux mixture must not be used after the fruit is set, 

 and is not under any circumstances as effective as the 

 potassium sulphide solution. 



All dead fallen leaves should be collected and burned 

 during the winter, and the ground under and around the 

 bushes should be dug so as to bury any stray fungus fruit 

 lying on the ground.
