PINE BLIGHT. 



Editor Horticui-tube: 



Dear Sir — I am enclosing a specimen of 

 Pinus Strohus (white pine) infested with 

 a blister of some kind or other which I 

 cannot identify. Could you get it identllied 

 for me? Also the cure or prevention of it. 

 If you can, I shall esteem it a great favor. 

 If it is important would you answer 

 through the medium of "Horticulture" for 

 the benefit of the craft? 



Thanking you in advance. 



Yours very truly, 



R. G. S. 



Irvington-on-Hudson, N. Y. 



The condition manifested by this 

 specimen is usually described as pine 

 blight, "altliough it has no connection 

 with the white pine blister rust, nor 

 with any disease of so serious a 

 nature. It is entirely a climatic con- 

 dition and may be observed through- 

 out New England and portions of New 

 York. In some cases under our ob- 

 servation in this state (Massachu- 

 setts) trees have died, but in the ma- 

 jority of cases, the trees recover after 

 having drcTpped a portion of their 

 needles. 



In explaining the condition we can 

 only say that it is due to imperfect 

 transpiration, brought about by dry 

 weather following a period of heavy 

 precipitation. Time is the only cure 

 that we know of. 



Very truly yours. 

 J. R. Simmons, Asst. Forester.
