LEAF SPOT ON NASTURTIUMS. 



Dr. George E. Stone of Amherst, 

 Mass., writes to a correspondent of 

 HoRTicuLTVRE. as follows — in reply to 

 an inquiry about a new leaf blight 

 which has occurred on nasturtium 

 foliage: 



"In regard to the nasturtium trou- 

 ble, I would say that we find this to 

 be a bacterial leaf spot caused by 

 Pseudomonas sp. This is new to us, 

 therefore we can recommend nothing 

 in the way of remedial measures. It 

 may prove serious, but more likely 

 its occurrence in the future will be 

 sporadic as w-as the case with tlie bac- 

 terial leaf spot of the geranium and 

 also delphinium." 



Dr. Stone would be pleased to hear 

 from any others who have encountered 

 similar trouble.
