The Uredinales form a group of Fungi which is also spoken of as the Uredines or 

 the Rusts. An accurate acquaintance with their nature is of great importance to the 

 gardener, the forester, or the agriculturist, on account of the enormous loss which is 

 caused by them every year and which can, at least in part, be avoided by a fuller 

 knowledge.
