THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL 
SOCIETY AND THE POTATO DISEASE. 
THE last number of the Gardeners’ Chronicle con- 
oe an article by Mr. Carruthers headed ‘* The Royal 
Agr t o eia d th tato Disease,” and 
December 2. In t article he penon 
what proi to myself with the following rema “i

which were in my peior a at the time I w as speak-

that the disease was due to a eng whi
