Certain diseases that affect cucum-

each year In addition to seed treat
ment and spraying of the vine is

The ornamental wild cucumber vine
is factor In over-wlntering and
spreading cucumber mosaic or "whlte

eases. Mosaic cucumber fruits are
often deformed, mottled with green
and yellow. and have numerous large
dark green warts. The lcavcs turn
yellow and die, leaving stretches OF
white stalks.
Disease does not live In the soil,

which lives over winter In the Wild
cucumber seed and is spread by
striped beetles. The cucumber beetles
feed first on the diseased wild plants
