proven before we can accept the state- 

 ment as valid. We believe that grow- 

 ing sweet peas under natural condi- 

 tions will not immunize them from 

 diseases of any sort. In fact, our own 

 experimental plantation of sweet peas 

 which we have at the Delaware Agri- 

 cultural Kxperiment Station is as free 

 from excessive feeding as one could 

 wish. The soil is of ordinary clay 

 loam. It bore two years ago a crop of 

 hay, and last year a crop of potatoes. 

 The potatoes last year received a reg- 

 ular potato fertilizer and this year no 

 manure of any kind was applied. The 

 sweet peas are, of course, given the 

 necessary cultivation and no more. 

 Yet, in spite of this they are suffering 

 from two of the worst diseases, and of 

 which I shall speak presently.
