Thegrowth will depend greatly on the soil it is plantedin. As a general rule, the soil for Tomatos shouldnot be rich, as this tends to coarseness of growthand deformed fruits; and the plants remainhealthier when the amount of water afforded themis not in excess of their actual needs. When thefruit is swelling oft, and when the plants by longstanding have exhausted the food supply in thesoil, assistance may be given in tlie form of liquidmanure, or a mulching of fresh soil and decayedmanure. If the plants are in a border it shouldbe well drained. Camellia Scale : E. J. S.—Your plants are infestedivith a coccus scale (see fig. 93). Yon shoulddestroy them by applying methylated spirit to theinsect with a small Fig. 93.—coccus ox camellias. Vine Boedees : H. B. P.—For a very eaily vinerythe border is better when entirely inside, but asVines forced thus early do not last long—if theyhave not a rest once in three or four years—theyare best in pots, tubs, or long wooden troughs,thereby avoiding the expense of big borders. Sizeof berry is a matter of early and severe thinning,according to variety, and of feeding during of Alexandria and Gros Colmar are seldomforced for early produce, and the borders for theseare better when they are both inside and outsidethe vineries. Outside borders keep in a wholesomestate longer than inside ones, although much isdue to the kind of materials eranloyed to makethem, and how made, and their treatment after-wards. Vine Leaves : T, S. Looks like scalding, caused bythe sun shining through bright glass on the wetleaves. Will examine them fully, and reply
