BLACK SPOTS ON THE LEAVES 
OF ROSES 
This disease is one that seems to be well nigh universal 
wherever Roses are grown, although some varieties are more 
tender or less able to resist its inroad than some others. In 
our experience it develops more perceptibly during a spell 
of warm, humid weather, and this weather condition will 
quickly spread a few spots over half a leaf. The leaves first 
snow a small black spot, which grows and grows fast in a day 
or two of humid weather ; and sometimes the leaves of a bush 
will drop off so as to be fierceptible. A Moss Rose will some- 
times seem to be struck with this trouble when a more common 
kind will show less. This Black Spot, which is called "Acti- 
nonema Rosae, " grows in the tissue of the leaves, and where 
Roses are grown, whether outdoors or in large or small green- 
houses, this trouble is apt to occur. 
Hammond's Copper Solution lay* '^'use® "^one 
part to 50 of water. Price, qt., $2.00; gallon $5.00. 
In treating Roses for Black Spot, the remedy to be effectual 
needs to be used early. 
The Rose Rust * trouble which affects hardy Roses 
more than some of the more tender 
varieties, and the very use of the Copper Solution as a 
preventive remedy for Black Spot has the effect of checking 
the Rose Rust. Use one part to 60 of water. 
MILDEW 
Crane Dust * readily diffusible, light-weight powder 
*^ Fungicide, very efficient in preventing Mil- 
dews and other plant disease. 
HOW TO USE IT IN THE GREENHOUSE 
Fill the house with Dust as soon as the plants are set and 
let settle, or put 1 lb. to pail of water and spray finely over 
everything; plants, ground, benches, etc. Spores are likely 
to settle anywhere and prevention is the best remedy. Price, 
lb., 30 cts.: 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs.. $2.75. 
Flushing. N.Y. 
I find your Grape Dust the most efficacious remedy for 
Mildew on Roses that I have tried, and cheerfully recommend 
it to the trade.
