CELERY LEAF RUST

 exposed. It occurs on celery, parsley, and dill, also on 

 various wild umbelliferous plants, and proves destructive 

 when present in quantity. 



Preventive Means. — Spraying with dilute Bordeaux 

 mixture checks the spread. Diseased leaves should be 

 cleared and burned.

SUNFLOWER RUST 



{Puccinia tanaceti, D. C.) 



This rust forms brown pustules on the leaves of the 

 common sunflower {Helianthus annrius), which are some- 

 times so abundant that the leaf is destroyed ; and as all 

 the leaves on a plant are usually attacked, the plant is 

 prevented from producing fruit. 



Preventive Means. — Repeated spraying with Bordeaux 

 mixture holds the disease in check.
