LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 


SPRAY AND DUSTING MATERIALS 
We have arranged to offer materials for the prevention and control of Botrytis 
disease which often damages Lily plantings, particularly during damp spring 
weather. The materials we list have been used on our own plantings over a 
period of years with entire success and we can fully recommend their effective- 
ness when properly applied. The disease mentioned is a fungoid condition 
caused by Botrytis elliptica. It can be identified by the appearance of watery, 
brownish spots on the foliage which if allowed to go uncared for will spread 
rapidly over the plant and to other lilies in the proximity. To prevent the occur- 
rence of the disease is of course most desirable and to this end we advise spray- 
ing of the plants with ‘’Sulreso” followed by a dusting with ‘'Bordusto”’, a bor- 
deaux dust. This should be done every week to ten days from the time the spikes 
appear above the ground in the spring until dry, settled weather is assured. It 
is particularly essential that the spray and dust be applied after heavy rains 
which would wash off the previous application. 
The proper application of the spray and dust is important. Apply the spray 
with the best pressure equipment you have available so that the entire plant, 
leaves, stem, and buds, if any, are thoroughly coated. Before the spray has 
dried dust carefully with “Bordusto” so that all parts are lightly covered. Re- 
peated light dustings are better than infrequent heavy ones. The resin in the 
spray causes the dust to adhere to the plant and this combination will protect 
the foliage for some days even during extremely wet weather. As ‘‘Sulreso” 
dries rapidly if applied when the sun is on the plant, proper preparations should 
be made to dust promptly for maximum effectiveness. 
If plants are attacked by Botrytis before a first spraying is applied, it is wise to 
remove diseased parts and burn them so that no opportunity will be given for the 
spores to come in contact with the ground where they will live over the winter 
for a fresh attack in the following spring. Likewise all old foliage should be col- 
lected and burned in the fall as a further means of prevention. In the case of 
L. Candidum, fall spraying and dusting of the early foliage, which this lily pro- 
duces, is advisable. 
“Sulreso” is also effective in the prevention and control of Botrytis on Tulips. 
The application of ‘Bordusto” to Tulips, however, is not advised. We have like- 
wise used Sulreso in combination with Nicotine Sulphate 40% for controlling 
botrytis, aphis, etc., in one application.
