another. It is our opinion that during the wet days 
at the end of July and in August the moisture was 
longest retained upon the berries just where they 
were pressing upon one another, and that the sun 
acted injuriously upon them. The result is that the 
berries were injured there and ceased to swell so that 
there are shallow depressions where the specks 
occur. The injured parts were unable to swell 
internally and now contain small cavities beneath 
the skin. We advise you to carefully cut out the 
injured berries and you will see no more of it. The 
berries cannot ripen because the decaying tissue is 
close to the stalk of the berries, thus stopping to 
some extent supplies of nourishment.
