The writer's experiments have led him to the same conclusion. Undoubtedly the bulk of the field infections occurs during blooming time, when insects would be visiting the blossoms freely. The downward movement of the disease in the leaves is very slow (Wakker, Smith).. Fig. 135* Fig. 134.* MORBID ANATOMY. There are no hyperplasias in connection with this disease. It is primarily, and to a considerable extent during its whole progress, a disease of the vascular bundles. The reasons for this the writer has attempted to set forth in his papers on this organism (see Literature). They are noted briefly under the next head. The xylem portion of the bundle is the first part to be attacked, especially the spiral vessels which are soon filled entirely by the rapid multiplication of the organism (plate 20, fig 6). This is what causes the bright *Fig 1 ,1 Cross-section of base of a hyacinth bulb, showing cavities in parenchyma due to Bad, hyacinthi.
