Professor Galloway; as long a^^o as 1896, stated that this was caused by a fungus which enters the plant near the surface of the ground and fills up the water vessels of the stems, causing the plants to wilt and finally die. This disease shows itself most from the middle of July to the mid- dle of August. On cutting open the stems of affected plants near the sur- face of the ground, a dark discoloration is found in the outer edge of the harder woody portion of the stem, where it joins the solt bark portion which cov- ers it. This discoloration spreads and keting the entire crop and at times was hard pressed to fill orders. "Notwith- standing the fact that this was our first season,'' he says, '' we were among the heaviest shippers of cape jasmine buds.'' He says he is pleased to ad- mit that though the quality of the stock was such as to cause the duplica- tion of many orders.

Some seedlings show it soon after being planted out, the majority not until they are well advanced. Plants raised outdoors are usually immune from the trouble; greenhouse seedlings are often badly affected. £ach plant developing stem-rot has undoubtedly taken it either in the seed bed or when transplanted into flats. Outdoor culture and soil, no matter how ideal, will in no wise check the disease. It is not believed that perfectly healthy plants will ta
