Excerpt from The Brown Rot of the Lemon
It. Will be necessary to give a brief consideration to this subject for the better understanding of what is to follow. The lemon, like other citrus fruits, is an evergreen tree of semi-tropic habit, somewhat more easily affected by frost than the orange. As already stated the tree is peculiar in producing its fruit all the year round; that is to say, at almost any time in the year mature fruit, blossoms, and fruit in all stages of development may be found on the same tree. (see cover illustration.) Inasmuch as winter is the usual season of maturity of citrus fruits, a time when lemons are least in demand, this is a very valuable feature. There is a tendency to produce the bulk of the crop in winter and spring, especially in some varieties like the Lisbon, which feature is not at all desirable from the standpoint of the grower.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history, methods, and challenges of the California lemon industry in its early years. It illuminates the severe setbacks and eventual improvements that shaped the success of the industry, including the detrimental effects of decay caused by the blue-mold fungus. However, the book's focus shifts to the unexpected emergence of a new and far more destructive form of decay known as brown rot, which threatened the industry's prosperity. This comprehensive study analyzes the nature of the brown rot fungus, its behavior in orchards and packing houses, and its devastating effects on lemon crops. The author meticulously details the scientific discovery and identification of the fungus, as well as the groundbreaking experiments that revealed the primary sources of infection. Most importantly, the book offers practical solutions for controlling brown rot, emphasizing the importance of preventing infection in orchards and during the washing process. These insights have proven invaluable to the California lemon industry, leading to the implementation of effective measures that have significantly reduced the incidence of brown rot and ensured the continued success of lemon production in the region.
