The cause of club-root in toma-
toes. as in other plants, is not well
understood. 1t is usually most trouble
some in very rich soil. especially
when an over-libeI al supply of wal er
is used. Probably insufficient sun
light is the cause of failure of toma-
toes to fruit in greenhouses. Too lit
tie light, not enough heat and too
close an atmosphere are the common
est causes of fail ire of buds. Plant
tomatoes under south roof, prefera-
bly, lean to. which has not great
slope. Guano, used in small quanti-
ties. is probably as good as any ferlil-
Yer. 1t is chiefly valuable in causing
