There were a few not so badly affected as the others but they never entirely recovered. The cause of this trouble was mixed manures; horse, mule and cow manure all thrown into one heap together al- though at the time of mixing the soil we could not detect one from the other, as the manure was two years old. The rea- son why we are sure that the manure bred the fungus is that three back benches were filled with soil without manure, and these grew as well as we could wish. We tried several supposed remedies to kill the fungus in the soil but failed to find any that would not kill the plants. Salt is an excellent thing to kill fungus, but the quantity it would take to kill it in the benches would also kill the plants. The following spring I had a lot of young roses in 3-inch pots, the roots of which were also affected; I washed the roots in clean water, and then in soot water—one quart of soot to a pail of water—and found it a complete remedy, as they were never affected afterwards.
