 of an excess of some caustic substance, 

 but more commonly the leaves and 

 stems ar6 affected, the leaves becoming 

 abnormally colored, or they may become 

 more or less contorted owing to the un- 

 equal development of the tissues of the 

 leaves. Occasionally blisters are 

 formed, and often wilting and dying 

 of the edges of the leaf occurs. Mal- 

 nutrition arises from the improper use 

 of fertilizers and manures, and is more 

 commonly met with in greenhouses than 

 elsewhere, cucumbers being among the 

 most susceptible plants to this trouble. 

 The use of nitrate of soda, pig, hen and 

 sheep manure, and occasionally strong 

 cow and horse manure, accounts for 

 most of this trouble. 



H. D. Haskins, who has made many 

 chemical analyses of greenhouse soils 

 with special reference to malnutrition, 

 has found that in some cases where mal- 

 nutrition was common there was con- 

 siderably more nitrogen and phosphoric 

 acid in the -soils than in the best barn- 

 yard manure. The average analysis of 

 some abnormal soils which produced 

 symptoms of malnutrition to cucumbers 

 showed them to contain as high as
