MEASURES FOR ROSE MILDEW
New Jersey Expert Suggests Several
Methods for Preventing Disease

MelHOuS IOT fTeFtHLlHB DlsedSe
Reports coming in to the State Col
lege Of Agriculture, New Brunswick,
N. j., from various parts Of the State
indicate that there is veritable epi-
demic of mildew on many of the ram
bier roses which are just coming into
bloom.
Inquiry Of G. H. Connors, foricul-
turist at the college, as to what should
be done, brought the following state
ment:
"The attacked bushes probably will
give no bloom unless measures are
taken to prevent the spread of the
disease. 1t appears as a grayish,
downy substance upon the new leaves,
the flower buds and stalks. This di-
sease is caused by a fungus, and the
warm days and cool nights are favor
able for its development. Once the
disease becomes visible it is impos-
sible to cure it, but it is possible to
check its spread"
"Any weak fungicide, such as bor-
deaux mixture or sulphur solutions,
will tend to prevent the spread Of the
disease. One of the best and most
easily applied means of control is
sulphur. All seedsmen or dealers in
spray materials carry in stock var
ious sulphur dusts, although flowers
Of sulphur will act satisfactorily on
mildew.
Several manufacturers of spray
materials are preparing and packing
special dust for roses, which con-
tains ninety parts of dusting sulphur
and ten parts of powdered arsenate of
lead. This material is effective against
all leaf-chewing insects as well as
against mildew, and when properly
applied will also assist materially in
the control of black spot of roses.
'These dusts are inexpensive and
readily applied with small hand dus-
ter costing from so cents upward and
obtainable from seedsmen and some
hardware stores"
