Eees, of the agricultural experi- ment station at Urbana, 111., and printed on page 35 of The Review of December 11, with illustrations showing the ravages of the disease. It is unnecessary here to describe the dis- ease or to give an account of its origin and distribution, as that part of the subject was fully treated by Mr. Reea. The present article consists chiefly of excerpts from a bulletin prepared by George L. Peltier, who is also connected with the Urbana institution. Some of Mr. Peltier's statements, based on the results of experiments, will be noted with special interest. He reaches the conclusion that the ordinary fungicides are of no avail in the treatment of snapdragon rust, and that two of the best methods of resisting the disease are to avoid syring- ing and to use stock grown from seed in preference to that grown from cuttings. His testimony in favor of seedlings is strong and ex- plicit, with the one reserva- tion that the plants may not come true from seed, since "few strains are ; percentage of leaf infection was lower than in any of the sprayed sections ex- cept one. In other words, this treat- ment was just as effective in the con- trol of rust as were Bordeaux and am- moniacal copper carbonate when ap- plied every week. In house No. 2 prac- tically the same results were obtained, except that the infection was not so great or so uniform, because natural infection only was used. J Important Inferences. / ?'./ From the results of these experi- ments, then, it may be concluded that the fungicides used will neither pre- vent, check nor control sna
