Peas for mid- winter blooming were sown in August at a new location, remote from the older houses, where as yet I could find no trace of this troublesome disease. Possibly by using movable greenhouses we could travel ahead of this trouble. The green worms never caused us much trouble until last season, when they seemed to come in droves. I tried poisoning with different compounds, but few seemed to be killed by this means and we had to resort to hand-picking. Bud-dropping is caused by too sud- den changes from long continued warm weather to dark, cloudy weather or the reverse, or by too high an artificial temperature, followed by a sudden drop. The Right Temperature. As to temperature, during midwinter we run a night temperature of 50 to 55 degrees and 60 to 65 degrees during bright, clear weather. Toward spring we drop to 45 or 47 degrees at night, with the same day temperature as dur- ing midwinter. Sweet peas require constant attention after the vines are tall enough for sup- ports, so that they may be kept grow- ing erect.
