Garden Notes
By
C. B. CORDY
Counfy Extension
Agent for Horticulture
A leaf blight of sycamore, a
bud blight of Chinese elm and a
twig blight of euonymus are now
in evidence. These three troubles
clearly illustrate why we must
spray with specific materials
for particular diseases at the
proper time.
Sycamore leaf blight is a fung
us disease which enters the new
leaves as they develop. This dis
ease is especially bad if we have
a spell of rainy weather during
leaf development. Spraying the
new growth several times so that
it is covered with a protective
fungicide is effective in prevent
ing this trouble. Where it is now
in evidence, spraying with a
neutral copper will not cure
what trouble has developed, but
it will help to prevent a further
spread of the disease.
Wide Variation
There seems to be a wide var
iation in susceptibility to the dis
ease by different sycamore trees.
Some are badly affected and
some are hardly affected at all.
It would seem wise in the case
of trees which are badly affected
each year, to remove the tree
and replace it with another.
The bud blight on Chinese
elms is apparently a result of the
cold spell last November. It is
widespread in the valley and is
causing considerable consterna
tion. It is obvious that if this
trouble is a result of a freeze last

fall, that a spray would be- to
tally useless at any season in
preventing or correcting it. ;
Twig Blight
The twig blight on euonymus
is caused by the same organism ,
which causes bacterial gummosis
on stone fruits. This disease in-!
fects the plant in the fall, but be- i
comes most obvious during the !
winter and early spring. Sprays I
at this time would do little if any !
good. j
A degree of control can be ob-1
tained by spraying the euonymus
with a copper material in early
October and again during De
cember. This disease is caused
by bacteria and the infections
occur during the fall and early
winter during rainy spells.
