This fungus is also able to develop upon the bark of apple trees, where it pro- duces dead blotches called cankers. The fungus apparently passes the winter both in these cankers and in the mummied fruits, from which new crops of spores are pro- duced in spring or early summer. The destruction of mummied and fallen fruits, cutting out and burning all canker apples affected by bitter rot spots, and spraying with fungicides are the means by which this disease may be Brown Rot of Stone Fruits The Brown Rot of peaches, plums, and cherries is one of the most destructive diseases affecting fruits. It is the commonest cause of the rotting of peaches or plums both upon the tree before or during ripening, and also in the baskets after picking. Its life history is similar to that of the other fungi that cause plant diseases. The tiny spores.
