INSECTS AND FUNGI ATTACKING 

 CYCLAMEN 



Dear Sir: — Two fungus and three 

 insect troubles usually interfere with 

 and" generally are encountered in the 

 cultivation of cyclamen. All of them, 

 however, are manageable and no seri- 

 ous damage should ever occur if 

 they are properly understood and the 

 proper remedies are employed at the 

 right time to check them. They 

 usually make their appearance when 

 the plant has been neglected, and once 

 their presence is discovered the grow- 

 er can ill afford not to be on the alert 

 throughout the entire season of their 

 growth until maturity. To keep, 

 therefore, the plants in continuous 

 growth, and to comply with their cul- 

 ural requirements will prevent much 

 hardship and not infrequently disap- 

 pointment. 



Of the fungi troubles, we have the 

 following: 



Phomose (Phomosa Cyclameneae). 

 This is a disease of the foliage, not 

 infrequently causing loss of the en- 

 tire crop. It is usually recognized 

 by its dark, irregularly shaped, large 

 spots upon the leaves which later dry 

 and become lighter in color. All 

 diseased leaves should be picked off 

 and burned and the plant sprayed 

 with Bordeaux Mixture. 



Glomerellose (Glomerella rufmocu- 

 lans var. cyclamini). This is another 

 disease that is attacking the leaves. 

 These spots are circular and watery, 

 sometimes accompanied with great 

 numbers of black hairy acervili. The 

 same treatment as for Phomosa is 

 effective here too. 



Of the insect pests we have the 

 Green Fly, Thrip and Mite. No men-, 

 tion of the work of the Green Fly and 

 the Thrip is necessary. Practically 

 every grower is well acquainted with 

 them. Very few, however, are famil- 

 iar with the Mite. This is another 

 tiny insect, hardly visible to the naked 

 eye, but usually causing more harm 

 than the Green Fly and Thrift com- 

 bined. A sure indication of its pres- 

 ence is when the first flowers come 

 deformed or abnormally streaked with 

 colors that are darker in shade. It 

 occasionally also curls the leaves and 

 makes them look variegated like. To 

 have the plants plunged in tobacco 

 stems, to syringe them daily three or 

 four times with cold water and vapor- 

 ize nicotine extracts when they are in 

 the greenhouse, are the best and most 

 effective remedies against them. 



This is in reply to your request in 

 a recent number of Horticulture for
