If a few early blossoms are infected, the insects will scatter the disease from flower to flower and from tree to tree until it becomes an epidemic in the orchard.

Page 47 - ... in the laboratory of the bacteriologist and kept for months, (3) by inoculating a healthy tree with these pure germs the disease is produced, and (4) microbes are again found in abundance in the disease-inoculated tree of the same kind as were used in the experiment. " Blight," Mr. Waite writes, " first appears in the spring upon the blossoms. About the time the tree is going out of blossom certain flower clusters turn black and dry up as if killed by frost. The blight spreads with great rapidity...
Page 39 - ... service to the cause which we are seeking to further, and both by his own contributions and by the example which he has set, was a constant inspiration to all our members.

Page 47 - ... different conditions, some of which are under the control of the grower. It is well known, however, that the pear and quince are usually attacked oftener than the apple. Some varieties of pears, like Duchess and Keiffer, resist the disease much better than others, such as Bartlett and Clapps Favorite.
