A CURIOUS DISEASE.

Suburban gardeners who grow apples
or crabapples, including Bechtei $
Towering crab and other ornamental
types, may have noticed about this tlme
of year circular, raised. orange spots
appearing on the foliage In severe
cases these spots increase in nunpef
until the leaves turn yellow and crop,
In fact the tree may become entirely
bare and be forced into premature dor
NANCY. In this event the fruit remains
small. does not color and finally drops.
This disease, popularity known as
cedar rust or orange rust, lives a strange
existence, most of the year on the ma
tive red cedar and for briet period in
summer on the apple. The strangest
part of the story is that the disease
cannot live without both hosts. Equally
strange is how the disease ever came to
develop such a unique plan of living in
the first place, an interesting question
that likely never will be solved. How
ever, from this dual life has come an
effective control, simply to exterminate
one of the hosts and, from economic
reasons, it is the cedar that loses. One
or two States have laws providing for
the cutting of cedars within certain dis
tances of apple orchards, and from the
carrying out of these mandates have
arisen many bitter quarrels.
Spraying the apple is of little avail
because, once the spores enter the leaf,
they cannot be reached by fungicides,
and there is such long season Of in
lection that it would be exceedingly
difficult to keep the leaves covered all
the while.
The spores travel for great distances
in the air, bringing infection to apples
located distantly from cedars. A COM
pensating feature is that varieties diff
fer in their resistance and it is possible
to select apples that will thrive despite
the disease. Among highly susceptible
apples is York Imperial and, among
ornamentals, Bechtels crab is decidedly
lacking in resistance.

bears the somewhat imposing Latin
name of Albizzia julibrissin and Is really
not true mimosa at all.
The hybrid perpetual rose Frau Karl
Druschk once in a while deserts the
Spring blooming class and flowers again
in Midsummer. This is more likely to
occur if the plants are pruned after the
Spring crop. Frau Karl DruSchki is. by
the way, considered by many roSarians
as the finest white rose 1t is so vigor-
GUS that. If left unpruned, it becomes
regular shrub In size. Withal, roses are
about the finest of the gardens in
habitants. What other species blooms
over SO many months and gives its
owner such rich rewards for care?
The severe drought of 1880 is some
times considered a thing of the past
until some large tree dies, such as the
oaks along lower Twelfth street south
west. Apparently the roots OF these
fine trees we're injured in 1880 and
have been unable to recover rapidly
enough to support the water require
ments Of the top. AS matter Of fact,
the soil, in it's deeper layers. does not
appear to have recovered its normal
water content and still is in a some
what arid condition.
Those gardeners who enjoy pansies
should remember that this is the right
time for planting seed for next Spring S
crop. The idle cold frame is an excel
lent situation for raising panSy plants.

NEW LAWNS.

The keepers of public parks of the
city are now busily preparing for lawn
planting recognizing that late August
and early September is often the best
period of the whole year for seeding
grass. At this season young grass
starts quickly. while weeds are begin
ming to slow down in activity. Planted
IN the Autumn, young grass attains by
the following Spring sufficient vigor to
compete with its several enemies, weeds,
drought, etc.
In statement prepared by one Of
the large agricultural colleges, atten-
ton is drawn to the fact that moving
too closely easily may ruin new lawns.
The circular states that young grass
should not be cut shorter than two
inches and that frequent cutting Is bet
er than cutting very close at longer in
tervals. The use of grass collector on
the mower is deplored as harmful, as
the falling grass mulches the roots and
supplies humus to the lawn New lawns
should not be cut at all if sown in late
Autumn and it is suggested that even
in old lawns the grass be left three
to four inches long for the Winter.

GARDEN NOTES.

The petunia is one of the showiest
OF the Summer ANIMALS and a great
favorite among local gardeners, judg-
ing by the extent to which it is planted.
No plant surpasses the petunia in its
capacity to keep up brilliant show of
color from July on to frost. The
petunia is closely related to tobacco;
in fact, DR.. Bailey, in the Cyclopedia
of Horticulture. states that the name
probably was derived from a South
American word meaning tobacco.
Another flower that deserves a whole
lot of praise is the zinnia. A native of
Mexico the znnia appears to have ac-
quired an adaptation to hot, rather dry
situations, which capacity fits it ex-
ceptionally well for the Summer garden.
Then, too, there are now so many vari-
ationS in the zinnia, from dwarf to giant
forms, that the flower can be used to
advantage in many different situations
types have. almost completely double
flowers, which, with many new shades
of color, make them very attractive.
The greatest drawback to the zinnia is
its lack Of fragrance.
The capacity of tree or plant to
Lear fruits may be measured in terms
OF Its leaf area, according to scientists
who have worked on the relationship.
Practically, one can interpret such re-
suits as showing the necessity of keep
ing foliage healthy and vigorous. In
the leaves is manufactured much of the
nutritive material stored in the fruit
and tree.
An important feature in dividing old
iris clumps is the opportunity to clean
out borerS and to a certain extent iris
rot. The borerS evidently enjoy work.
ing in between the closely packed
rh1ZomeS. The larva is an inch or SO
IN length, that is. of a size capable OF
destroying a lot of root tissue. There is
really no more practical way of keeping
the pest under control than regularly
every two years to separate and reset
the iris
One way to avoid seedlings in the
borders Is to keep the seed heads cut
on. ICoreopSiS is one of the very free

when water becomes vital need. Many
a suburban gardener has had to choose
between trees and flowers and, in most
cases spares the trees. 1t Is possible to
combine trees and flowers to some ex-
tent if one grows species that thrive in
partial shade. The early Spring bulbs
do well under trees because at that
time the trees are net in leaf and are
not drawing heavily on the soil. Rhodo-
dendrons, azaleas and laurel do quite
well in partial shade. The list of plants
that do not thrive is very long. indeed,

wherefores Of spraying. 1t seems
rather difficult for some to appreciate
the fact. that a spray material capable
Of killing insects may be of no value
at all in repelling a fungus, such as
black spot of the rose. Adding to the
confusion is the fact that one or two
materials, notably, lime sulphur, kill
both insects and fungi. The purposes
of insecticides and fungicides are quite
different. The insecticide is designed
to kill a pest already in action, the
fungicide Is designed to serve as a
protectant to repel infection. For ex-
ample, once black spot has attacked
rose leaf, no amount of spray can stop
its spread. On the other hand, If an
insect had eaten half rose leaf, spray
ing would save the other half. Fun
gicides must be applied before the dis
ease appears, or at least before it has
gained a stronghold on the plant.
Protective materials can be applied
in either dust or liquid form. In gen
eral sprays are more enduring, but
dusts offset this advantage by being
more quickly and easily applied. Fur
thermore, dusts do not diScolor the To-
liage to the same extent that do sprays,
and this is often very important con-
sideration in the front yard.
At this season of the year aphids are
still the principal insect enemy in 10
cal gardens and should be exterminated
Any one of the several nicotine sui
phate preparations will quickly clean
the foliage of these pests. Aphids dc
much more injury than outwardly
shows, because they draw on the juices
of the plant, one reason why they are
always found on the soft, succulent
tissues.
Black spot of the roses is likely the
greatest fungus problem in most gar
dens. Control of this pest is certainly
a real task and one that requires at
tention from March to November The
so-called Massey dust, 9 parts busting
sulphur, l part arsenate of lead pow
der, with or without nicotine sulphate
added. appears to be the outstanding
remedy and Is available from various
rose nurserymen under proprietary
names.

Alaska's salmon pack for 1892, up to and including August 13, aggregated 4,223,042 cases of all varieties, according to pack reports received at local headquarters of the United States Bureau of Fish cries. Most of the districts were through for the season last night, although few will continue for some time yet.
