Plants that heL'ume ov yfUow and \diicbed cannot expected to give ii'ood resnlts. Some iKittoui - heat should be applied. If the soil is as shallow as 4 inches, care should be taken that pipes are not too close to the bot- tom of the brmdi or that the hear is not toL> great. From 5 to (3 inches is a better depth for soil on Tomato benches, ami tlif pipes for carr>"ini: s t e a m should he several inches beneath the bot- tom. The temperature of the bouse at night should not fall below 60'^, although a lower temperature than this, providing the house is dry and the plants are not growing very rap- idly, may result in no appreciable harm. It is better, however, to maintain a temperature of Gr^" at night. The d a y t e m p e r a t u r e should run from 75 to So-. The bouse should ha\"e an abundance of liLilit and should be liieh enough only to allow the plants to have free head-room. The Tomato plant is very likely to grow too r a ;"i idly when it is given too much water and the temperature is too hi£:h. This is par- ticularly true in tin- dull cloudy day-- of midwinter. The plant then fills with mois- ture, becomes soft and flabby ami is likely to develop the a-dfina. or dropsy. This disease- manifests
