to refer to the spring form by the popular name above 

 adopted and the one produced later in summer as Rose 

 Brand, when the orange patches of the former season have 

 deepened owing to the production of uredospores. Yet a 

 further stage marks the progress of this disease namely, 

 when the resting spores (teleutospores) are formed in the 

 shape of black dots readily seen on the under surface of the 

 foliage. When once the disease is seen the branches should 

 be sprayed with weak Bordeaux Mixture. This will stay its 

 progress ; the next season Mr. Massee suggests the use of a 

 sulphate of copper solution (2oz. of copper in 3gall. of water) 

 before the buds expand.
