The value of the flowers Of sulphur
IN combating the fungous diseases Of
plants has been long known; in fact, II
was one Of the first substances en-
ployed for this purpose. Before the vary
Ing nature of the fungi which attack
cultivated plants was we'll understood
sulphur had come to be looked upon as
> pauacea for all the blights and rots
and mildews that plants are heir to,
and much time and money were spent
In applying it to cases where now We
can see that it could be of no more
value than SO much dust from q dry
road. In speaking of the treatment Of
plant diseases due to fungi Ihave re.
peatedly pointed out the character of
those in which the use of flowers of
sulphur might be efticacious. Those
caused by the powdery or white mill
dew are of this. class. The powdery
mildcw of the grape, or oidium, ~
some. name it. is readily held in check
by timely applications of this sub.
stance. All the powdery mildews live
upon the surface of the plants they IT.
tack, and hence are directly exposed to
the action of the sulphur fumes and
are readily destroyed by them.
Such is not the case with the downy
mildews (Peronospora)or the fungus OF
black-rot. The mycelium of these
parasites penetrates deeply the It's
sues of the plants they infest. When
they have once gained an entrance to
these tissues, we may only hope to pre-
vent their fruiting which happily takes
place upon the outside, but we cannot
destroy the parasite without at the
same time destroying the plant 1T
tackled. Preventive measures must be
sought. We ought to destroy so far as
we can do so the germs of fungi, and
then prevent those which escape de-
struction from gaining an entrance to
the tissue of the vines or other plants
