Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citrus Diseases of Florida and Cuba, Compared With Those of California During the months of January and February, 1914, the writer made a trip to Florida and Cuba, for the purpose of collecting bud wood of as many varieties and strains of citrus trees as possible, and to collect information in regard to citrus conditions, especially in regard to citrus diseases. Although much had been written in regard to citrus diseases by workers in California, Florida, and Cuba, some uncertainty still existed as to the identity of some of the important diseases in these places. In some cases, different names were apparently being used for what was thought to be the same disease, and in other cases, the same name was being employed for what appeared to be entirely different diseases It also seemed that certain important diseases of one state were either absent or of minor importance in the others. This resulted in some cases in unnecessary uneasiness and confusion to citrus growers, especially in cases where articles or bulletins written expressly for con ditions in One state, were Copied by the agricultural papers of the others, So far as known, no one acquainted with citrus disease conditions in both Florida and California, had ever made a careful comparative study of them. It, therefore, seemed advisable that this comparative study be made So as to aid the growers and horticultural Officers to know which diseases were different and which were identical, and to enable them to more easily detect at once a new disease, should it by any unsuspected means get into the State. As the writer had been connected with the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, working on citrus diseases for Six years prior to his work in California, it was thought that he was in a position to make this comparative study.
