Amber Queen, Barry, Brighton, Champion, Hayes, Monroe and Salem 
were very slightly mildewed. 
The fruit of Senasque, Monroe, and Kochester was considerably 
affected with rot after the berries had attained full size and were 
nearly ripe. Lady Washington and Duchesse were very slightly 
affected. 
The appearance of the diseased fruits did not answer to the descrip- 
tion of the rot as described by Prof. Scribner.* 
It differed from the description in that the skin of each berry was rup- 
tured. Specimens of the diseased fruit were forwarded to Prof. Scribner, 
and the assistant in charge, Mr. B. F. Galloway, succeeded in finding 
the mycelium of peronospora viticola ("brown rot") in some of the 
berries, although there was no external evidence of the presence of the 
fungus.
