It is probably found throughout NorthAmerica and is reported from various parts of Europe. The leaf spot fungus is confined to the leaves, and in orchardsthe chief injury to trees may be the reduced vigor for the nextseason, due to premature defoliation. It is rather remarkable thatwhile seedling apple stock in a nursery may show leaf blight to aconsiderable extent, adjacent plots of budded plants may be seri-ously injured by the leaf spot. The budded stock of the secondyear usually suffers more severely, particularly since it is generallyless cultivated after the first season. In the state of New Yorkmost of the standard varieties may be attacked. Bosc, Anjou,Clairgeau, Seckel, Bartlett, etc., may be considerably injured, butFlemish Beauty, Duchess, and Winter Nellis are more resistant. FUNGI IMPERFECTI 159 The Kieffer is practically exempt. In any case, however, thefungus may be readily controlled with Bordeaux. The spots on the
