TOBACCO. As an insecticide this is still employed 
in the form of paper, rags, powder, as well As in a liquid 
state, but to nothing like the extent it was before the 
introduction of the various vaporising insecticides. 
(See Fumigating.) There is always some risk in 
fomigating with Tobacco-paper or rag, as the foliage 
of the plants must be dry, and the material must be 
very carefully watched to prevent it from breaking into 
a blaze on the hot coals. If this happens, serions damage 
is done to the occupants of the house being fumigated. 
The mode of operation is to place some bright coals 
or coke in a pot or other vessel with holes in the bottom, 
and on this the person fumigating keeps adding small 
quantities of Tobacco-paper or rag until the house is full 
of smoke ; then the vessel is brought out. It is necessary 
that a still, quiet night be selected for the operation, 
otherwise the wind would blow much of the smoke out 
through the laps of the glass.

TOBOLEWSKIA. A misprint in a garden periodical 
for Sobolewskia (which see). 
TOCOCA. To the species described on p. 49, Vol. IV., 
the following should be added: 
T. cinnamomea (Cinnamon-like). #. red, tin. in diameter, 
thickly pedicellate; panicle long-pedunculate, few-flowered. 
i. 4in. to 6in. long, coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, acuminate, 
entire, dark-fuscous and highly glabrous above, beneath some- 
what ferruginous, dotted ; petioles sin. to lin. long. Brazil. 
A slender, almost twining tree. 
T. platyphylla  (broad-leaved). 
T. (Spherogyne) latifolia. 
TODAROA. Campylocentron Schiedei is the correct 
name of T. micrantha. 
TODEA. Crape Ferns. All Todeas require green- 
house treatment, and, with the exception of T. barbara 
and its variety, which do not suffer from exposure to air 
and light, all are much benefited by close confinement. 
Indeed, condensed moisture is absolutely necessary to 
their well-being, and this cannot be obtained without 
a close atmosphere. No sun should ever be allowed to 
shine on plants of the Leptopteris section, and the less 
they are disturbed at the roots, the better they fare: the 
hot, dry atmosphere of the sammer months is undoubtedly 
their greatest enemy. The soil in which Todeas thrive 
best is a compost of peat and silver-sand, to which a 
small portion of partly-decomposed sphagnum may be 
added with advantage. 
Todeas are easily propagated from their spores, which 
are produced in abundance and germinate readily when 
sown under favourable conditions; but they are of com- 
paratively slow vegetation, and seedlings require a longer 
time than most other Ferns to form young plants. 
As a decorative Fern, T. barbara has few equals, 
especially where plants are required for very small fancy 
vases. Good plants of it may be grown in comparatively 
small pots, and its lasting qualities are unsurpassed by 
any other known Fern grown for the decoration of the 
drawing-room, it being but little affected by smoke or 
gas. 
To the species and varieties described on p. 50, Vol. IV., 
the following should be added : 
T. arborea (tree-like). 
The correct name of 
A garden name for 7. barbara. 
T. barbara bipinnatifida (twice-pinnatifid). A fine variety, 
having graceful divisions and incisions in the fronds, 1896. 
T. b. Vromii (Vrom’s).* fronds longer than in the type, less 
triangular, pale green, on shorter stipes, and furnished nearly 
to the base with longer and less distinetly-toothed pinne. Of 
quicker growth than the type. 
T. grandipinnula (large-pinnuled), A synonym of 7. Moorei. 
T. intermedia (intermediate).* This robust garden form 
appears to be intermediate between 7. hymenophylloides and 
T. superba. In size and cutting it is like the former; but 
the lower pinne are gradually reduced, as in 7. superba, and 
their stipes are densely covered with short, woolly hairs. It 
reproduces true from seeds. 1877. (I. H. 1877, t. 290.) 
T. Moorei (Moore's).* fronds thicker than in other species, 
broadly oblong, 14ft. to 2ft. long (including the stipes), 1ft. broad ; 
pinne overlapping, lanceolate, sessile, lin. to 2in. broad; 
pinnules sessile, lanceolate, closely set, cut nearly to the 
stalks into bluntish, ligulate lobes toothed on the outer edge. 
sori oblong, placed against the midrib near the base of the

Todea—continued. 
pinnules. Lord Howe's Island, 1886. A beautiful species. 
syns. 7. grandipinnula, Leptopteris Moore. 
T. plumosa (feathery). A supposed hybrid, obtained from a 
sowing of 7. superba. The surface of the fronds is moderately 
bristly with the small, erect segments, as in 7. intermedia, 
but the fronds are shorter and more ovate, and the woolly 
character of the stipes is wanting. 1878. SyN. Leptopteris 
plumosa. 
T. Vromii (Vrow’s). A yariety of 7. barbara. 
T. Wilkesiana (Wilkes’).* 
and not as a variety of 7. Fraseri. 
f. 148.) 
TOFIELDIA. 0 the species described on p. 51, 
Vol. IV., the following should be added : 
T. calyculata (calyculate). #., perianth greenish-yellow, juin. 
long; raceme sub-spicate, sin. to 3in. long, 44in. to 6in. in 
diameter when expanded. 7. 2in. to 6in. long, Jin. to 4in. 
broad. Stem 6in. to 12in. high, with two or three reduced 
leaves. European mountains. 
TOLPIS. Including M#thonia.  Syns. Chatelania, 
Drepania. T. altissima is the correct name of T. virgata 
(of Bertoloni), and T. grandiflora is a form of it. 
TOMATO. With the exception of Leaf-Rust, all the 
chief diseases of the Tomato have already been described 
under their popular names of Black Spot or Black Rot, 
and Sleeping Disease, in the present Volume, and under 
Tomato in Vol. IV. Cladosporium fulvwm proves very 
troublesome under glass, the upper surface of the leaves 
being spotted with dark brown, and the under surface with 
the rusty-brownish powdery substance that is so familiar. 
The frnits are less often attacked, and other parts of 
the plant have a discoloured appearance. All diseased 
plants should first be taken away and burned, and the 
remainder sprayed with liver of sulphur (loz. to 3 gallons 
of water) at intervals of ten days or so. 
Insects. The Snowy Fly (Aleyrodes), which has spread 
over the whole country, causing serious loss to the 
Tomato-grower, may be easily eradicated in houses heated 
with hot water. Immediately any of the Fly appears 
the hot-water pipes should be painted with sulphur mixed 
with milk. The milk will cause the sulphur to adhere 
better to the pipes, and if the pipes are kept moderately 
warm, and the house is closed for a week or two at night, 
this injurious and disfiguring insect will disappear. 
Sorts. To the list of varieties given on page 53, 
Vol. IV., the following should be added: 
Chemin Rouge. Fruit red, deep round, smooth, medium, and 
even in size. Plant very compact and extremely productive. 
One of the most prolific varieties, and a great favourite with 
market growers. 
Comet. Fruit bright red, medium, smooth, averaging eight 
fruits to a cluster. A compact-growing and very prolific 
variety. One of the best. 
Conference. Fruit red, smooth, rather small, freely produced 
in good clusters. Early. 
Duke of York. Fruit very deep red, large, smooth, handsome, 
and moderate cropper. One of the best for exhibition.

corrugated. Very productive, and suited alike for inside or
