A Sugges ton As To Urea tment.

As the pathologist has not yet had an
opportunity to make experiments in
the control of this disease, he can give
only a suggestion as to treatment. If
the fungus enters while the fruit is on
the tree, as seems probable. it is posi-
bic that spraying with ammoniacal
solution of copper carbonate would be
fairly effective in checking the dropping
of fruit from this cause.

sTEM.END ROT OF CITRUS FRUITS.
(By H. S. Fawcett)

a new soft.rot has this year made its
appearance in serious form, on grape
fruit, oranges, and tangerines, in num-
Der of counties in Florida At the
present time it appears to be disease
which, if not checked. will destroy large
quantities of fruit.
Description.
> This disease appears to attack full.
sized fruits on the trees, after they have
colored, and to cause them to drop. In
some groves many of the grapefruit
have been reported as dropping from this
cause. The disease may also develop on
the fruit after it is packed
The fruit first begins to soften and
sink little at the stem end, without
the rind changing color There is no
blackenng nor molding at first, and the
softened peel remains intact over the
softened interior. The softening pro-
ceeds inward along the fibers Of the rag
and then outward into the pulb cells
At first the inside of the fruit remains
almost unchanged in color; but, as the
softening goes on, the diseased pulp turns
dull brown.
Other Citrus Fruit-Rots.
This rotting or softening is quite
different from the well-know citrus
fruit.rots, due to the withertip fungus,
or to common molds In the rotting
of mature fruit due to the witherti
fungus, the rind becomes darkened in
brown sunken spots before the inside Of
the fruit is injured, if it is injured, at all
In the rotting of citrus fruits due to
the Pendulum fungi or molds, as they
are usually called, softening takes
place, but it is not confined to the stem
end. A moldy odor is perceptible; and
as the rotting progresses, green or blue
mat of fungus spores is produced.
Cause.
Microscopical examination of the
diseased fruits showed that the softened
tissue was filled with colorless fungus
threads, which branched many times.
This fungus is different from any yet
found in connection with rotting citrus
fruits, and it appears to be the cause of
the peculiar softening. Infection ex.
