MILDEW IN THE GARDEN
The mildews which affect roses, pumpkins, vegetable marrows, melons, grape vines, etc., are all very closely allied, and are easily kept in check by dusting Flowers of Sulphur—special bellows are made for this purpose. When these are not available a bag made of cheese-cloth tilled with the sulphur may be shaken over the plants. It should be applied on a hot, sunny morning, while the dew is yet on the plants, and before the pest gets too bad. All affected leaves and stems which are badly diseased should be burned, not buried. For all these fungus pests Bordeaux Mixture is very effective, also Lime-Sulphur Solution.
