Abstract
ON the 22nd inst. I observed that this fungus had appeared on the haulm of the potato crop in one or two places in my garden in this city. On examining to-day a potato crop in another garden a mile distant from mine, I perceived that that crop was likewise affected. Considering the dryness of the spring weather, the appearance of the disease is remarkable. According to my observation, the attack of the mould is a month earlier than usual. It may be added that hereabouts, this season, blight of all kinds is prevalent, while last year was blight free. Inclosed is a specimen of diseased haulm.
