The best thing to be done when the rasp- berry patch becomes in- fested is to root out the plants and destroy them, planting a new patch with clean stock on land that has not grown ber- ries for some time. Not- withstanding the laws that have been made against the distribution of root-gall from nurs- eries, the evidence seems to show that it is not a serious disease of apples or peaches, at least not in the northeastern United States. It is not determined how far it may injure such trees.
