Blistering of the Leaf.—This disease, which is called by some gardeners the Bladder Blight, and by the French la cloque, is occasioned by more moisture being forced into the leaves from the roots than they can evacuate by expira- tion. Some gardeners, annotating upon this opinion, expressed by the present writer in the Gardener's Chronicle in June, 1845, have concluded, because the blistering appears more abundantly when cold nights succeed to hot days, that they occasion the disorder; but they are only the proximate cause ; those cold nights reduce the expiratory power of the leaves, whilst the roots in a soil of unreduced temperature con- tinue to imbibe moisture, and to propel it to the leaves with undiminished force. The blistering is, consequently, more extensive. That the force with which the sap is propelled, is quite sufficient to rupture the vessels in the parenchyma of the leaf, is evident from Dr. Hale's experiment. He found the vine pro- pelled its sap with a force equal to a down to succeed them ; the other late- rals, k, are tied in, and the upright shoot shortened, I, as before. " Now, or before, the side shoots will have to be headed down once or even twice, so as to increase their number, and regularly cover the wall. The ex- tent to which this practice is carried will depend on the height of the wall, and the distance of the tree
