THE CUCXJMBEB WILT. 



We have a fine house of cucumbers. 

 They look healthy and are full of small 

 cucumbers, but once in a while a plant 

 wilts when the temperature gets to 

 about 80 degrees; not the whole plant 

 at once, but from one to three leaves in 

 a day. "We keep the house at about 60 

 degrees at night, have the glass shaded 

 and give lots of air. We have to spray 

 them several times a day to keep them 

 from wilting worse. Is there anything 

 we can do to stop it? The beds are on 

 the ground and the soil is nearly all 

 new. The leaves are of extra large size. 



J. & H. 



There are many causes for cucumbers 

 wilting and it is hard to say just what 

 causes the wilt in this particular case. 

 The temperature is not too high; 65 de- 

 grees at night would be better than 60 

 degrees. Shade is not necessary except 

 in the hottest weather and then it 

 should not be heavy. Full-grown plants 

 require heavy watering once every day 

 and sometimes twice a day. The soil 

 must be kept moist, or they will wUt. 

 Sometimes it looks wet on top and is 

 dry farther down. There is a disease 

 called bacterial wilt disease of cucum- 

 bers, but it is rare and no remedy has 

 been found for it, other than to clean 

 out thoroughly and start over again. 

 Insects at the roots or main stalk, just 

 below the soil, are the common causes 

 of cucumbers wilting, and it is often 

 the case that the grower thinks it a 

 disease and never finds out differently. 

 In this case it is highly probable that 

 it is either the sciara or the striped cu- 

 cumber beetle which is causing the 

 plants to wilt. The striped beetle lays 

 eggs at the base of the plant. The 

 yoting worms hatching out of these are 

 the cause of the wilting. They eat into 

 the main root and can be found in there 

 by splitting the root of an affected 

 plant. The plants wither for a few 

 days and finally die. Tobacco dust will 

 help to keep the old bugs from laying 

 eggs at the base of the plant. H. O.
