The latest concert arrangements were
believed however, to have been firmly
fixed, Nine. Walska even having de-
cided upon the numbers that would go

OF the many useful services that the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has rendered gardeners none has
been more important than the develop

tomatoes IS no less worthy. and has
proved or great practical value to to-

Among She many diseases affecting
tomatoes Wilt has long been one Of the
most troublesome because the organ
ism lives over the Winter in the soil
and because the injury is done within
the plant. so that spraying is Of no
avail. In many instances, old fields
have become so heavily infected With
wilt that tomatoes could not be grown,
Although several investigators have
worked on the problem with varying
success. F. J. Pritchard and w. s. Porte

This useful horticultural spraying ma

value for protecting plants was diseov-
cred quite by chance by French grape

sprays have been found TO supplement

THE MASTODON
STRAWBERRY

This new everbearing strawberry is
apparently distinct improvement over
the earlier varieties of the same type
such as Pan American. Superb and
Progressive. The fruits are larger and
hold their size better throughout the

interested in everbearing strawberries
the EMastodon offers large possibilities.
