On a Fungus Disease of Euonymus Japonicus L.f., by 
Ernest S. Salmon. In this we find an interesting account, with 
two full-page illustrations of Oidium euonymi-japonici (Arc.) 
Sacc. which occurs in Italy, Austria, Hungary, France and Eng¬ 
land. Experiments by Mr. Salmon showed that the following 
sorts were susceptible: E. japonicus aureus, albo-marginatus, 
ovatus-aureus, microphyllus, Silver-Gem. The immune kinds 
were E. Japonicus carrierei, E. nanus, E. europaeus, E. chinensis 
and E. americanus. See Journal of the Royal Horticultural So¬
