Diseases 



There are several diseases which attack the leaves, buds and stems. 

 They are easily kept in check by spraying with Bordeaux mixture 

 when the plants first start into growth in the Spring. Besides this, the 

 diseased parts and all stems should be burned each Fall, for only by 

 careful sanitation can the trouble be lessened
