There to g disease of Plain trees that bears the very discriptive name of black knot. It is observed bn the twigs of plum trees, ~and sometimes on cherries,, where it causes a' knot like a swelling, that is olive green in color in spring and black in the fall. Where the disease appears on limbs the swelling may extend up and down the branch for as much as a foot, while on fruiting spurs it may exist as a knot no larger than a grain of wheat. Black knot is caused by a fungus that affects the wood, causing it to swell into the rough, deformed’places. It is regarded as a serious, destruc tive disease, and one that must he carefully watched and kept under control. Damson plums are more sub ject to black knot, and varieties of the trltlora group the least liable to luffer. Spores of the fungus are liberated In spring from the galls formed the year before. When Infection takes place the knots may be observed In the fall, but they are more roa«ptru out In the spring. With the begin ning of growth In spring, the knot swells rapidly and hursts the bark which at lhat time may uncover a yel lowish surface which rather qnlrhly tarns to a velvety dark green color The knot then Is covered with • mas* of summer spores, which are eafried by the wind te Iprend the dlaeaee Toward fall the knot tarns Mark and develops a new reap of spores ifcnl are net liberated anil I the fettewing spring These are railed winter ^eres and differ very mark In their origin from (he summer speers While spraying may be n safeguard agntaat lafbrthm.
