On Asparagus officinalis. iEcidia, not common, May; undo- and teleutospores, September—December, rather fre- quent. (Fig. 180.) Fischer points out that the connection between the secidium and the other spore-forms has not yet been demonstrated. This disease is often very destructive to asparagus beds ; all diseased shoots should be gathered and burnt. The best means of prevention is by the selection of resistant varieties, and the avoidance of overcrowding. Distribution : Europe, Abyssinia, North America. 103. Puccinia Liliacearum Duby.
