From M. D. M, College Park
To M. H. M. From your discrip-
ton it sounds like your African
vioiets have cyclamen mite. This Is
a highly contagious disease that Is
carried in from out of doors plants,
weeds, etc. There is very exact
ing and tedious procedure to get
rid of it, but If they are not too
badly infected, you can cure them
of the mite.
You must dip the plants, pots and
all, in constantly moving water be-
tween no degrees and ll2 degrees
for Is minutes. You must be ac-
curate. Under ITO degrees will not
kill the mite and over l12 degrees
will kill the violet. But if done
correctly, it will kill the mite. ]
