Affecting the Raspberry, Blackberry, and Rose. 



This fungus appears as small reddish-purple spots upon the 

 canes and leaves in the spring and early summer. These spots- 

 are scattered over the surface of the new growth near the 

 ground, and have a distinct purplish margin, representing the

division between the healthy and diseased tissue. As the 

 season advances these spots increase in size, and, merging with 

 others, form irregular, longitudinal blotches, which in very 

 bad cases girdle the cane. 



Use the Bordeaux mixture (diluted formula) before the 

 leaves open, and repeat at intervals of two weeks, spraying the 

 canes which are starting out of the ground. 



Removing the old canes and burning them will greatly 

 reduce the disease.
