STEM-ROT OF RADISHES. 



Will you please give me some advice 

 as to what to do with the radishes in 

 my greenhouse? The plants rot off 

 just above the ground. The stems seem 

 to get black and fall right over. 



W. K. 



Your radishes are attacked by the 

 common stem-rot or damping-ofE fungus, 

 which spreads rapidly over the surface 

 of the soil. Pull up the diseased plants; 

 scrape off the top of the soil where 

 they grew and throw it out. Then 

 scatter some air-slaked lime dust over 

 the surface of the soil, to prevent the 

 .spreading of the disease. 



If thfe soil is pretty wet when the 

 seed comes up or soon afterward, this 

 disease is likely to appear, especially 

 if there is manure or rotted matter 

 showing on tbe top of the soil. Do not 

 water until really necessary. Keep the 

 ventilators open a little. H. G. 



Discontinue our Chinese primrose ad, 

 as we are all sold out. — E. .T. Ullrich,
