Abstract
ALL our readers who are agriculturists or practical gardeners will be familiar with the disease called in England “Club-root,”or “Finger and Toes,”or “Clubbing.” It seems almost to confine its ravages to cruciferous plants, and often causes great destruction to large crops of turnips, cabbages, cauliflowers, not to mention what disappointments it may occasion to the growers of wallflowers, Brompton stocks, candytufts, and many other favourite flowers belonging to this large natural family. Not only is it well known, but it has often been written about, as the pages of our contemporary, the Gardeners' Chronicle, and most works on the cultivation of gardens, will abundantly prove.
