. American carnation culture. Carnations. 102 AMERICAN CARNATION CULTURE. plant's life. Life lives in cells, cells are the primal units of life. A cutting consists of thousands associated cells. A carnation cut- ting, apparently healthy, taken from a Rust diseased plant, will develop the disease in the cutting bench, which can only be done by transmission of the malady to the progeny by root germs. This theory of the etiology, and pathology of the Rust Disease, is supported by facts and unravels many paradoxes and solves riddles of the sphinx. It explains why cuttings are at- tacked with Rust in the propagating bench. Why a variety exempt one season is affected the next; why measures against it must be prophylactic and not remedial; why some plants seems to be immunes to Rust when their close neighbors are badly affected; why promising new varieties as Blanch, Edna Craig, Jacque- minot, Uncle John, and others, having contracted Rust constitu- tion, transmitted them and were soon dropped from the roster of commercial varieties. The importance of Bacteria lies in their insignificance. Their strength is in their weakness, their devastation in their unseen methods. The aggregation of atomic forces works amazing results; the coral insect builds rock-based islands in the ocean. The following formulas as preventative therapeutics for Rust are invaluable and should never be neglected. Some are said to be specifics for Rust in the initiative and local phase of its Hie:. I- Leaf of Carnation, with several pustules. Prophylactic treatment is the only cure for Rust, but it can be held in check by the use of various fungicides. REMEDIES. Mr. Dorner's formula has proven effective for pustules. It is as follows:.
