The following spring it causes swell
ing in the affected parts, and in a
month or two the swelling becomes
much enlarged and the bark broken.
Over the injured surface of the bark
the parasite spreads in the form of nu-
merous threads-that later give rise to
spores-which impart to the whole
bunch a green, velvety appearance
Fig. 2.
The spores, each supported on
stalk, soon developed on the bunch

are blown by the wind in every direo-
ton.
In the fall black crust forms over
the knot, containing numerous bunch
es-Fig. 4-each of which contains
numerous spores developed in several
oval bodies called spore sacs. Fig. 5
shows sac with spores greatly mag
nided. In the latter part of the vim
ter the spores escape from the sacs nd
pass into the open air to help carry on
their work of destruction. These,
like the summer spores, lodge on the
bark of healthy trees and produce more
knots which go through similar stages
as described above.
The fungus, if not destroyed, will
often remain in tree for years, and
thus while sapping the very life of its
host, is continually putting out myr-
lads of spores. The fungus not only
absorbs much of its sap, but in turn it
often girdles the affected twigs or
limbs, thus destroying them entirely.
The black knot has been seemingly
checked by washes of turpentine, kero-
sene, sulphate of copper or tincture
of iodine, but experience has proved
that the safest way is to cut off the
affected parts and burn them. Where
the trunk of valuable tree is affect
ed, it is sometimes cured by cutting
off the punches and applying sulphate
of copper or tincture of iodine to the
exposed parts and then cover with a
thick coat of any oil paint.
All plum and cherry trees should be
; carefully watched and the knots cut off
with the affected twigs several inches
below the point of affection. Bunches
that may be overlooked in the summer
should be carefully sought out and
burned when the leaves have fallen in
the fall, thus preventing the winter
output of spores.
Too many careless fruit-growers
have half realized the danger of per-
! hitting the black knot to go un.
checked, and have cut off the affected
parts, throwing them on the ground,
in which case, the fungus is left alive
to do an indefinite amount Of damage.
The only safety lies in burning every
infested limb as soon as it appears.
This applies to the various spesies OF
wild plums and cherries no less than
to the domesticated varieties.
Delay in attending to the black knot
is hazardous in the extreme. True, q
few years may pass with seemingly
slight advance in its ravages, but it
may be like the calm that precedes a
pending storm, for, by virtue Of its
spasmodio nature, this fungus is likely
to burst forth at any time in deadly
attack that ceases not to destroy un-
til every plum and cherry tree over
the fated area has been ruined
