Old Gardener Says.... 
During the past few years, tomato diseases 
seem to be on the increase. One of the 
important reasons for this has been weather 
favoring the growth of aphids or plant 
lice, These aphids carry certain virus 
diseases that cause the plant tops to twist 
and curl. Affected plants seldom bear well. 
Aphids grow fast once average tempera- 
tures go above 48 to 50 degrees. But their 
natural enemies, the lady bug, lace wing 
flies, insidious plant bug and the praying 
mma eenmmmammmmemmemeeamaaaaaaamaaaamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaaammammmmaamm aaa aaaaaaaaammmaaas amass meee 
mantis, don’t hatch out until warm, settled 
weather comes, and air temperatures aver- 
age well above 70. For this reason a cool, 
late spring brings an increase in these 
diseases. 
The answer is to hold back the trans- 
planting of tomatoes outdoors until the 
weather is really warm and settled. Don’t 
be fooled by a few warm days: be sure 
that summer is really here. 
Once set out, plants should be protected. 
by dusting or spraying until the aphid 
enemies really get going.
