Tenting the rot. A careful regulation of 

 the temperature and the water supply is 

 always necessary where it prevails. A 

 night temperature of less than 50 de- 

 grees will usually be found successful, 

 while a high temperature will add to the 

 trouble. 



Rosette. — The illustrations given in 

 Circular No. 57 are familiar to many of 

 you. The stunted lettuce plant, with 

 rosette form and diseased roots, is in an 

 advanced stage of the rosette fungus, 

 rhizoctonia. As before stated, this fun- 

 gus is favored by acid soils and is one 

 of the most troublesome diseases of this 

 district. It attacks the seedling plants, 

 causing the fibrous roots to decay and the 

 stem to rot off under the surface. 



When such plants are diseased in the 

 plant bed, the trouble is usually repro-

duced in the house, In these larger 

 plants, as in the smaller ones, the fun- 

 gus causes the roots to die, and, owing 

 to short supply of absorbing roots, the 

 central axis of the plant fails to 

 lengthen, and we have a rosette form pro- 

 duced. These diseased rootlets show by 

 their brown color and may be detected 

 with a hand lens. 



The method of treatment has been 

 stated before; namely, thorough steam- 

 ing or thorough soil drenching with for- 

 maldehyde. 



Tip-burn. — We sometimes have trouble 

 through the death of lettuce leaves 

 around the border. This seems to be a 

 form of tip-burn, which is only par- 

 tially erplained. As a rule we suspect 

 some deficiency of the soil conditions or 

 of the roots, which results in reduced 

 water supply to the plants. 



Nematodes. — These microscopic worms, 

 which are a common source of disease in 

 the south, sometimes occur in green- 

 houses with us. Violets are often at-
