Sulphuring must be carried out during dry weather to prevent the pow^der being washed away. It has also to be frequently repeated, so that young growing shoots, flowers, fruits, leaves, and all parts liable to attack, may be kept well dusted. Sulphur prevents germination of conidia on the leaves; it also kills the mycelium, while the plant itself remains uninjured. Besides sulphuring, various copper solutions give very good results, while at the same time they act as a preventive against the false mildews {Plasmopara, Fcronospora, etc.). Sphaerotheca. Perithecia spherical with thread-like appendages; they contain one spherical ascus with eight colourless oval Fio. 08.—Kosc-milihu: Sjihaerollicca pentose. The fungus forms a white luealj- coating on the leaf, especially on the lower side ; the leaves are also more or less curled up. (v. Tubeuf phot.).
