The approach of disease is marked
by slight and gradual changes and
often some abnormal activity or GER

of "yellows." that insidious and fatal
disease attacking the peach, superb
bundant growth of slender branches
and foliage often occurs in parts OF
the tree. OF course, diseases that at
tack only the foliage are dlscerAlole
only in the summer. Some attack ooth
