PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



M^otlon Tti« il»Ti«»w wb»B yoo write. 



number of years that this plant should not be 

 distributed broadcast, inasmuch as it is making 

 Its appearance In a number of places in the 8t«te 

 as quite a troublesome weed. I am sorry to 

 learn from your letter that this is among the 

 seeds distributed by congressmen. 



Some years ago Congress as well as the seed 

 merchants widely scattered the shoo-fly, which 

 has In recent years become a troublesome weed 

 in the Mississippi valley, and earlier than this 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture distributed 

 the butter-and-eggs which in some states is now 

 one of the unlawful weeds. 



I hope that those who receive gratuitous seeds 

 "om the goTernment wlU look out for some of 

 these noTelties.

 old, in which all the vines are wilting

 in lull bearing. The latter house is 

 only 3 years old. What do you &d-

 surprising that your plants are dying. 

 You may have had a little club root last 

 year and taken little notice of it, but 

 once the ground is infected the spread 

 of the disease the following season is 

 rapid unless steam sterilization has 

 been done. I regret there is no hope 

 for your plants and I would advise that
