1912 in shipments of nursery stock, 

 mostly from Germany. Between these 

 dates probably 10,000,000 small white 

 pine trees were imported, most of them 

 coming to the New England states. 

 Many shipments, however, are known to 

 have been made to the states of Ohio, 

 Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and 

 Minnesota, and to have been sent out by 

 nurserymen to parks, cemeteries and 

 private planters. 



A peculiarity of the rust parasite is 

 that it has two classes of hosts, white 

 pines and species of ribes; that is, cur- 

 rants and gooseberries. So far as known 

 the disease can not pass from pine to 

 pine, but must pass from pine to the 

 currant or gooseberry, and then back to 

 the pine. On the pines the disease takes 

 the form of a blister or canker and has 

 been found on main stem, branch and 

 twig. On the currant and gooseberry 

 the rust forms small orange spots or mi- 

 nute orange or brown hair-like projec- 

 tions on the under side of the leaf. The 

 life history of the organism causing the 

 blister rust is similar to that causing 

 the cedar apple rust, which spreads from 

 the red cedar to the apple leaf, and to 

 that causing the wheat rust, which 

 spreads from the barberry bush to the 

 wheat plant. 



The blister rust was first found in 

 this country on currants in 1906, but it 

 did not again make its appearance until 

 1909. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



The Annual Summer Show. 



Tlie Newport Horticultural Society 

 and the Newport Garden Association 

 held their joint annual exhibition last 

 week at the Lafayette. The show had 

 been postponed from the dates origin- 

 ally set because of the backwardness of 

 the season. Although the opening day, 

 July 3, was stormy, many persons were 

 present to witness what many thought 

 to be the best arranged show the so- 

 cieties have ever staged. Much credit 

 is due the committee for the beautiful 

 arrangement. 



It is the first time that the show has 

 been held at the Lafayette, and it 

 proved an admirable place for such an
