The above prices are intended for the trade only 



as yet busied themselves with flower 

 diseases. The Delaware Agricultural 

 Experiment Station is the first and 

 only one in the country to take up the 

 diseases of the sweet pea, both on a 

 scientific and economic basis. But for 

 the reason already stated we, too, can- 

 not devote all our time to the study of 

 flower diseases. The study of the 

 sweet pea diseases at the Delaware 

 station is only a part of a large prob- 

 lem outlined tor the investigation of 

 the legume diseases. We have started 

 the work and opened the way.
