INDOOR AND OUTDOOR TOMATOES 157 



For outdoor growth, Carters' Outdoor, Earliest of All, 

 Holmes' Open Air, as well as most of the indoor varieties. 



Diseases. Tomatoes frequently suffer from (1) Sleepy 

 Disease, a complaint which attacks the base of the stems, 

 (2) Spot Fungus, which manifests itself first on the lowest 

 leaves, and (3) Black Spot, which makes unsightly 

 blotches on the fruit. There is practically no cure for 

 any of these diseases ; they must be noticed early and 

 destroyed before spreading to other plants. 



For Root-knot Disease in Tomatoes and Cucumbers, 

 see Leaflet 75 of the Board of Agriculture.
