Peach Yellows.—This disease is making considerable trouble in certain parts of the country. It attacks trees about the time they are coming to the age of most prolific bearing to such an extent that in certain portions of the peach-growing regions healthy old trees are unknown. The symptoms of the disease are: Yellowish-green color of leaves; small leaves tinged with red; the new shoots small, wiry, and clustered, especially when growing upon the trunk or larger branches; fruit ripens prematurely, is highly colored, and insipid or bitter to the taste. The sickly yellowish-green foliage may be due to injury or lack of nourishment, but when coupled with the other characters given the presence of the “yellows” can be considered as certain. The only sure way is to dig out and burn every tree as soon as it is seen to be affected. This plan has been followed in Michigan, where, between 1870 and 1880, the disease was very bad. Now hardly a case of “yellows” can be found in many of the peach regions. Constant attention and prompt action have proved successful, in this case, at least.
