To a Maryland correspondent who asks; "Are we to abandon
all hope of getting at the root of the terrible disease known
as yellows?"  Mr. Thos. Meehan replies in Gardeners' Monthly
1874, p. 245: "The 'mystery' is only with those who do not
read the gardening papers, and think that what they do not
see no one else can know.  Our knowledge of plant diseases
has been very much simplified of late, and many of them are
well understood, the peach yellows among them etc."  [Never
was greater nonsense palmed off, with pompous show of learning,
on the unsuspecting.
