ELECTRO HORrILUL1uRE.
Conclusions Drawn From Experiments
Made at Cornell University.

Made at Cornell University.
The experiments reported by Prof.
Bailey were made TO determine the effects
upon plants of an electric street lamp sus-
pended above greenhouse. Tn. arrange
ment will be understood from the cross
section of the houses shown in ttse cut.
1t will be noticed that there are two par
aliel houses. Each is divided in the mid
are 60x20 feet. In the valley between the
houses the lamp was hung, and the arc
was six feet above the nearest glass. The
lamp was hung IN front of large black
ened sheet iron screen, which, IN connec-
ton with the partition IN the house and
series OF curtains, ompetely exc5u led the
light from the compartment behind the
lamp.
By moving the screen to the other side
of the lamp and rearranging the curtains
all the light could be thrown into the
other compartment. This change was
made during the experiment. che lamp
was attached to an ordinary street light
ing system, and it seldom burned after II
O'Clock, while il often ran but an hour or
two and on moonlight nights not at all.
The lighted house was exposed to SUM-
light during the day. and IN addition re-
ceived this small and varying amount of
electric light. The other or so-caiIed dark
house, was lighted by sun during the day
and received no light at night. Ihe lamp
carried clear glass globe, so chat the
light passed through two panes Of glass
the globe and the roof-before reaching
the plants.
The main crop was lettuce watch was
greatly benefited by electric lights. Rad
ishes were also benefited, but not 20 a great
extent. CauntiOwers grew taller than in

of 65 degs.. you will have "braird" of
young seeding pansies.
In about five or six weeks from the time
of sowing you must transplant the seed
lngs into another box, which will soon
give the appearance shown in the cut.
The plants from the second box will soon
begin to crowd one another, when they
may be placed in howerpots or boxes, to
be grown inside or in The open ground, as
desired.

Growing Pansies From Seed.

No garden is complete without one or
more beds of the improved strains of
pansies, and yet comparatively few anna
teurs succeed in growing fine pansies from
seed. The seed may be sown in
doors any time from January to April.
The stronger plants. however, are gener-
ally those from the early seedlings. The
late Peter Henderson advised starting
pansy seeds-in fact any kind of flower
seeds-in shallow boxes instead OF pots,
to be kept where the temperature would
run from % to % degrees.
In the cut Is shown the style of box sug-
gested by Mr.. Henderson. 1t IS two
inches deep, nine wide and twelve long.
These boxes are filled with ordinary rich
soil. The surface is made perfectly
smooth and level before the seeds are
sown; then the seed is pressed gently
down with a smooth board, so as to
merely sink it into the soil; over the
seed is sifted, through a piece of mos
