There are several reliable manufacturing firms paying special attention to spraying machinery, and bulletins upon the sub- ject of fungicides and their application are published by the Experiment Stations, while information in abundance and proper form may be obtained of the general government through the Department of Agriculture at Washington. The Ripe Rot {Glceosporium fructigenum Berk.), as the name suggests, is confined more particularly to the maturing fruit or after it is stored. The first suggestion of the disease is a circular spot upon the surface of the apple, slightly sunken and pale-brown colored. The diseased area increases rapidly, and soon the pimples containing the spores appear, often in concentric circles. When several rot spots appear at nearly the same time, they will shortly coalesce, and the fruit decays rapidly (see Fig. 281)..
