Tomatos and Sleepy Disease. — Plants suffering from this now 

 not uncommon complaint were forwarded to Dr. "William G. 

 Smith for examination. He reports as follows: — "My observa- 

 tions agree with those of Mr. Massee given in the Gardeners 7 

 Chronicle, June 8, 1895. I have already seen several cases of 

 this disease this season. I do not see an easy way of getting rid 

 of the fungus. Mr. Massee's suggestion of liming the soil seems 

 a good one, but I have had no experience."
