The remedial treat-ment is the same as for the leaf-blight. FUNGI AFFECTING THE CHERRY The Brown Rot Monilia fructigena As stated on page 56, where this disease is discussed in its relations to the plum,it frequently attacks cher-ries, as well as jDlums andpeaches. Its life-history onthe cherry does not differmaterially from that on the]3lum, although it usuallydoes not pass from fruit tofruit so often on the cherry,because the individual fruitsdo not touch each other somuch. Fig. 35 represents asound ripe cherry, togetherwith one mummiiied by FIG. 35. DISEASED AND SOUNDCHERRY. The Black Knot Plowrightia morhosaThis disease is often as destructive to cherries as toplums, under which it has already been discussedQop. 53-55). The account of its life-history and themeans of exterminating it there given applies with equalforce when it affects the present fruit. The fungus which causes plum leaf-blight alsoattacks the cherry, and frequently does great injury. 66 FUNGI AFFECTING THE PEACH The Peach Leaf=curl Taphrina deformans It often happens that in spring, soon after theleaves begin to expand, the foliage of peach trees be-comes curled and misshapen. Theleaves are usually thickened anddiscolored, and fall off in a shorttime. All the branches may beattacked, or the injury may beconfined to only a part of the the disease is severe theyoung fruits fall off, and the cropfor the year is destroyed. Thedefoliated trees soon push out auew set of leaves, but too late torepair the damage done to thefruit crop. This leaf-curl
