The disease was 154 FUNGOUS DISEASES OF PLANTS not known on the Pacific Slope during the early history ofgrape-growing in that region, but it is now not uncommon. Thefungus was apparently introduced into Europe from America,and it became a serious pest within a very short time after it wasfirst noted in that country. This greater injury under Europeanconditions nad been predicted by Farlow on account of the earlyspring and the relatively slight growth which is made by Vitisvinifera, the cultivated grape of Europe. The grape mildew has been found abundantly on practically allspecies of cultivated or wild grap
