It causes small, circular, dirty spots over the greater portion of the fruit. If the spots are very nu- merous, the skin of the fruit is likely to crack, making pos- sible the entrance of decay-producing fungi. This disease is often associated with the brown rot of the peach and some- times causes equal loss to the grower. Leaves and twigs may also become infected; the fungus may continue to hve in the twigs for several years and so be a continual source of Spread of the disease. The means of control suggested for.
