tlentlon The Review when you write. 



year when they sterilize their soil an- 

 nually, I (Jo not think it is possible 

 to keep either cucumbers or lettuce per- 

 fectly healthy year after year unless 

 'his is done." I do not believe the vari- 

 % is at fault at all. The one you men- 

 tion on the separate sheet is an excel- 

 'ent and much valued forcing variety, 

 giving great satisfaction. If you had 

 ^ny club root, on your plants a previous 

 v^ear, remember that the spores will per- 

 sist in unsterilized soil, ready; to seize 

 ^^ t'le first host plant appearing. The 

 ^Pecivling and yellowing of the leaves is, 

 1*0 ' oubt, blight, due in large measure 

 ^? Violent variations between day and 

 ^iglit temperatures. A little fire heat 



on all nights when the outside ther- 

 mometer falls to 60 degrees would make 

 the atmosphere in your houses more 

 buoyant and prevent the spread of this 

 blight. C. W. 



BLACK FLY ON CUCUMBEBS. 



Can anything be done for cucumbers 

 infested with what is called the black 

 louse? . H. H. 



By black louse I presume you mean 

 black fly or aphis. Fumigation with 

 any of the tobacco papers will kill this. 

 It may also be destroyed by a nicotine 

 spray or by any of the many soap and 

 other special sprays. C. W.
