CARNATION FAIRY RING SPOT (Heiero- 
sporium echinulatum). This disease is due to a well- 
characterised fungus, whose clusters of fruit are borne in 
rings on light-coloured spots on the upper and under 
surfaces of the leaves as well as upon the leaf-stalks. The 
disease is a most destructive one under glass. Predisposing 
causes are great fluctuations of temperature, watering 
overhead, and lack of air. When once plants are badly 
attacked, there is little chance of cure, and they had better 
be pulled up and burned. In the case of light attacks, 
all the diseased leaves should be removed, the plants 
isolated, and the remainder sprayed with potassium 
sulphide (}0z. to lgall.,of water). If this is not done, the 
disease will be certain to appear the following season, as 
it is tided over the winter by means of sclerotia; these 
in spring yield conidia, which, on coming in contact with ° 
Pink or Carnation foliage, begin again the cycle. 
CARNATION MAGGOT (Hilemia nigrescens). 
This is a formidable pest of the Carnation cultivator. 
The insect responsible for the mischief belongs to the order 
Diptera, and is the grub of a small black fly somewhat 
resembling the common house-fly in appearance. This 
insect deposits its eggs upon the leaves of Carnations, 
usually selecting seedlings or prepared cuttings and layers. 
Less often older plants are attacked. From the eggs 
hatch out yellowish-white grubs, which feed upon the pith, 
leaving little more than a skin covering. If infested 
Carnations are constantly examined, there will be found 
some whitish streaks. The only thing then to be done is 
to dislodge the pests by opening the foliage with a pin or a 
needle, and burning the dead and decaying portions. The 
plants may also be sprayed about the time the insects 
are on the wing with some distasteful insecticide—a 
solution of soluble petroleum (a wineglassful to Igall. of 
warm water), or even with weak Kerosene Emulsion. 
CARNATION RUST (Puccinia arenariz). This 
fungus attacks both Pinks and Carnations, as described in 
Vol. IIl., p. 248, under Puccinia. It is also common 
on many wayside plants belonging to the same Natural 
Order. A weak solution of Condy’s Fluid will probably 
prevent it from spreading.
