Abstract
WOULD you permit me to ask some subscribers to your paper if it be possible to account for the total failure of the crop of parsley this and last year. Is it owing to any known insect or what? The parsley comes up well, grows to about one inch in height, then begins to dwindle and get yellow, and the whole summer remains about half an inch high, the only green part being the crown. All the market gardeners are in the same position as myself, only one having a crop, and this was sown in freshly cultivated earth. I have carefully examined leaves and roots under the microscope, but can discover no cause for this disease. Have any of your subscribers been troubled in the same manner, and can any one suggest a remedy?
