 does not t'(dlow, however, that liecausc 

 voui' houses have lieeii free from insect 



pests this season, your plants must 

 necessarily he free from this disease. If 

 the disoiiso was in your stmdv last year, 

 and you did not stdect your cnttinys 

 carefully, you would lie sure to ba\ e it

 Tlie youiiff jilants apparentlv' grow out

 wintry days come, witii a hudc of sun

 the <rrovvth lias been ranix and soft, the 

 disease will ije woise than if the

 the only remedies. Keejdng down in
