greatly accelerate decay. No remedy is known, but we advise the
purchase of the soundest and best bulbs. Good drainage and sufficient
air are indispensable. All infected foliage and stems should be burned.
Disease of Hollyhocks and Malvaceous Plants.—In some parts of England
the cultivation of the Hollyhock had at one time quite ceased owing to
the attacks of a microscopic fungus named _Puccinia malvacearum_. In
gardens and nurseries, where years ago Hollyhocks were one of the chief
ornaments of the place, it became impossible to grow a single plant.
The disease is not confined to the Hollyhock, for it attacks many
malvaceous plants, notably the Mallows of our hedgesides. We have seen
plants of the white variety of the Musk Mallow (_Malva moschata_)
totally destroyed by this parasite. The home of the Hollyhock fungus is
Chili, whence the Potato fungus reached us. The Hollyhock fungus first
attacked the malvaceous plants of Australia, and then reached England
in 1873 by the continent of Europe. The best and cleanest seeds of the
Hollyhock should be purchased.
[Illustration: Fungus of Hollyhock] FUNGUS OF HOLLYHOCK DISEASE
_Puccinia malvacearum_
A fragment of a Hollyhock leaf is illustrated at A, dotted with the
characteristic brown pustules; these pustules cover the stems as well
as the leaves. At B is shown the edge of a pustule enlarged one hundred
diameters and seen in section; to show the whole of a pustule in
section from six inches to a foot of space would be required. Bursting
through the skin of the plant may be seen a dense forest of threads,
each thread bearing a spore with a joint across the middle. One pustule
alone will produce thousands of these double spores. At C some of the
threads and spores are still further enlarged to two hundred diameters,
and at D one ripe spore is shown falling from the thread and breaking
asunder—each piece is a reproductive body or spore. When mature, these
minute spores or ‘seeds’ are carried in the air by millions. At E one
of the compound spores is enlarged to four hundred diameters. As this
disease is seated within the tissues of the plant, remedies are
difficult of application, and in many cases attempts at cure have
failed. No doubt the fungus is nursed by malvaceous weeds. Infected
Hollyhock plants and allied weeds should be destroyed by fire or by
deep burying.
Poppy Disease.—Garden Poppies are often attacked by a fungus pest
closely allied to the fungus of the Potato disease, and named
_Peronospora arborescens_. It grows sometimes in abundance on the
common Red Poppy of cornfields (_Papaver Rhoeas_), and it badly attacks
_P. somniferum_ and all its garden varieties. The fungus grows within
the leaves, and emerges with a tree-like growth through the organs of
transpiration (the stomates) on the under side of the leaves. Like the
fungus of the Potato disease, it speedily sets up decomposition, and
destroys the host-plant.
[Illustration: Fungus of Poppy] FUNGUS OF POPPY DISEASE
_Peronospora arborescens_
At A is illustrated one of the stems of the Poppy _Peronospora_
emerging from the leaf, enlarged seventy-five diameters. The fungus of
the Poppy is very much more branched than that of the Potato, and every
minute branchlet carries a spore. To save confusion, a large number of
spores are omitted from the branchlets in the illustration, and the
branches growing from the stem both before and behind are for the same
reason left out. At B a tip of a single branch is shown further
enlarged to four hundred diameters. The spores in the Poppy fungus are
unusually large and numerous: an infected plant will throw off many
millions of such spores. All the putrefactive spawn of this fungus is
inside the host-plant; cure, therefore, is difficult. This disease,
like every other plant disease, is always at its worst in ill-kept
places where red field Poppies are abundant. Field Poppies are often
sown with unclean corn. As prevention is better than cure, all we can
advise is, buy the best and cleanest garden and field seeds, cultivate
in the best way, and look out for and burn, or deeply bury as soon as
detected, all disease-stricken plants, whether wild or cultivated. When
diseased plants of any sort are left to decay on the refuse-heap, it is
the most certain way of propagating a plant disease for the next year.
Diseases of Violets.—Violets are subject to fungoid diseases, both in
spring and autumn. The disease of autumn is caused by the brown
_Puccinia violæ_, allied to the _P. graminis_ of Corn and to the _P.
malvacearum_ of Hollyhocks and various malvaceous plants. The
_Puccinia_ of Violets has its yellowish or orange-coloured stage; it is
then known as _Trichobasis_, or _Uredo violarum_. In spring and early
summer Violets are often badly affected by a fungus named _Æcidium
violæ_, which is apparently identical, however, with _Puccinia violæ_.
This disease attacks leaves, stems, and sepals, and it is best examined
on the leaves. In this position it is seen to consist of a considerable
number of minute yellow pustules, each pustule less in size than a
pin’s head, and all congregated into one flat circular mass of about a
quarter of an inch in diameter. This pest is very frequent on the Dog
Violet, but it is perhaps equally common on the Sweet Violets of our
gardens in early spring, and it not infrequently spreads to other
species of _Viola_. One of the most destructive pests of Violas is
found in _Æcidium depauperans_, so called because its effect is first
to starve and attenuate, and then to totally destroy, plants of _Viola
cornuta_. It is a close ally of _Ae. violæ_, but it differs in having
its minute cups or pustules irregularly distributed all over the green
parts of the host-plant instead of being congregated in circular
patches, as in _Ae. violæ_. Our illustration shows, at A, a small
portion of the stem of _Viola cornuta_ attacked by _Æcidium
depauperans_. The minute pustules are seen (natural size) distributed
all over the stem, leaf-stalks, and ruined leaves; the effect of the
fungus growth is to decompose the tissues of the plant. At B, a
transverse section through the stem is illustrated and magnified twenty
diameters. The section cuts through several of the abscess-like
pustules, and it is seen how completely embedded they are in the flesh
of the plant. At C, a pustule is seen in section, enlarged sixty
diameters to show more clearly the innumerable spores, or ‘seeds,’
disposed in necklace-like fashion, which are destined to reproduce the
pest in future seasons. Another disease of Violets in autumn is caused
by a fungus named _Urocystis violæ_. This fungus causes gouty swellings
to form on the stalks and principal veins. These swellings at length
burst, exhibit black patches, and discharge sooty spores. The fungoid
disease named _Phyllosticta violæ_ is frequently common on Violet
leaves in June. In this the spots are whitish. No cure is known, and it
is always well to burn or deeply bury all infected leaves or plants.
