Tliis is a stage of a rust which appears later in the season upon golden-rods and asters. Red-rot {Fomes pinicola Cke.). — Upon dead trees this rot begins just under the bark, usually near the tree top, often following bluing. The wood is at first wet and soggy, but soon becomes brittle, so that it crumbles readily. The cracks become filled with felted fungous threads. The sporo- phores first appear as fleshy knots, soon red, which widen to pore-bearing shelves. POPLAR, COTTONWOOD Rust {Melampsora sps.). — This is similar to willow rust. See p. 405. European-canker ^-- (Dothichiza pop- ulea S. & B.). —Species of poplar and Cottonwood in nine states show this disease. Death of the cambium re- sults, and following this numerous can- kers and dead branches render the trees unsightly. The disease was probably recently imported on the Lombardy poplar from Europe. New stock should be carefully inspected. Infected wood should be cut out and burned. Canker'^^^ {Cytospora chrysosperma (Pers.) Fr.). — This serious canker is prevalent in the southwestern United States. Fig. 213. — Pine needle, bearing clus- ter-cup of rust, en- larged.
