Below, diagrammatic draw- ing of a section of a Hop leaf, showing the superficial mycelimn which has grown haustoria into the epidermal cells, and produced erect conidiophores bearing chains of conidia (X about 50). Above, epidermal cell, hypha, and invading haustorium more highly magnified. From Bulletin 328, Cornell University Agr. Exp. Sta. lium forms quite noticeable powdery patches. The asci are produced in closed ascocarps called cleistothecia. In Figure 323 is shown the mildew of the Apple. The Lilac Mildew {Microsphaera) is the one most commonly observed of the Mildews. Often in late summer and autumn, the leaves of the Lilac are so generally covered with the whitish dusty-looking patches, that the entire bush appears covered with street dust. But there are also Mildews that occur on fruit trees, Roses, Gooseberries, Peas, and other cultivated plants, which do considerable damage. From the superficial hyphae.
