. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. ipi6 BETTER FRUIT Pasrc 39 chlorolii' I' siion Ijcyins In sliow iiiori' or less brown dcail tissue nnil in many cases liie dead areas appear firsl between the main veins oi- at the mar- gins ol' the leaves, that is, at points farthest removed from the water-con- ducting channels. In many cases the affected plants show more or less purpling of the leaf veins upon the under surface, although this is not a constant characteristic and may even l)e exhildlcd to some extent by healthy plants. 'I"he glaucous or grayish sheen of atreeled foliage is not constant, although in some cases it is ipiite noticeable. The curling or rolling of the leaflets is very characteristic, although not a diagnostic character. There is a pro- nounced tendency for the edges of the leaflets to roll upward and inward toward the midrib. Again, this charac- ter ma\ be very prounounced or only moderately developed. In some cases the lealleis appear to be more i-igid than those of healthy plants. A seriously atlected plant may suc- cumb before it has reached a suflicient size to set any fruit, but in the ma- jority of cases the culmination of the disease is not reached until the host has fruit that is a third or more grown. The attack of the disease hastens the maturing processes and retards the growth of the fruit in size, many of which ripen prematurely. A mature jilant that has succumbed as a result (]f the disease will show brown dead foliage and many under-sized fruits Ihat possess a depth of color indicative of ripeness. In a certain per cent of the attacks the afTected plant which has exhibited some of the various symptoms men- tioned, will succumb before the end of ENGLISH SEEDS FOR YOUR GARDEN, LAWN â AND FLOWER BEDS W 3003 ARCADE BUILDINC SEATTLE Tested Inc.
