When plants are attacked while very young, they are markedly dwarfed by the action of the disease, growth is slow, the runners are very much shortened. the leaves are core spondingly reduced in size, the plants blossom sparingly, and the amount of fruit is very much reduced. When ald- ar plants become diseased the principal visible effects are on the subsequent growth of vines and fruit, the vine tips and leaves being dwarfed and mottled and the fruit uniformed as described elsewhere.
 The leaves of diseased plants are dwarfed, often curled and wrinkled and usually have mosaic or marbled appearance in which areas of light and

 A new disease of cucumbers, known as the mosaic disease. has appeared during the past few years in commer- cial greenhouses and in fields where cucumbers are grown for picking pur- poses. The disease has been known longest and is now most widespread and severe in the middle West, where the industry of growing cucumbers for pickling is centered, particularly in the states of Michigan. Wisconsin, In- diana, Illinois and Minnesota. Recent investigations of the disease have re- suited in the discovery of it's nature. that 1t is closely related to mosaic dis eases of other plants, and the present indications are that 1t can be con trolled by the introduction of sanitary measures and insect-control methods.
