Blossom-Wilt.—The Brown-Rot fungus produces a Blossom-Wilt of plums similar to that found on apples (see Leaflet 312).In the spring, spores derived from the mummied plums on thetrees, and from spore-pustules on infected wood, are blown onto the flowers. The spores readily infect the stigma, and themycelium of the fungus passes down the style and causes thedeath of the flowers (Fig. 1 and 2). The mycelium subsequentlypasses through the flower-stalk into the wood and attacks the All the photographs used in this article are bv Dr. Wormald. and the firstfive are reproduced from the Annnls of Applipd Biology, Vol. V, by kindpermission of Dr. Wormald and the Cambridge University
