These results agree in every respect with those of the first ex- 
periment and again demonstrate that the low temperature does not 
destroy the fungus, but simply retards its germination and growth. 
THE EXPERIMENTS OF 1906. 
The next year, the winter of 1906, another similar experiment 
was made. ‘The same cuid storage house was used as in the first 
experiment. 
Pure cultures of the species ot fungi used were obtained by mak- 
ing dilution plate cultures from material secured from natural in- 
fections. From these, sub-cultures on sugar beet plugs were made 
and the inoculations made from the last one after its pathogenicity 
had been tested. 
Nine varieties of apples were used, some of each variety being 
inoculated with each species of fungus used. The usual precau-
