geas, azaeas, lacs, in fact great variety of flow
ers, were lifted in the early spring before growth
had begun and placed in cold storage similar
to those used for preserving foods. Their growth
thus retarded until the cultivator was ready to
subject them to the heat. This discovery, in
vention of method has practically given the culti
vator the power over growth, which has enabled
him to produce great variety of flowers regardless
of the and has placed the market lilies of
the valley and other favorites every day in the year
To the Danish botanst Johansen more
recent discovery in relation to plant cultivation
After years of study and experiment with plant life
especially to their habits of resting, Johansen
came to the conclusion that their rest time might
be divided into three periods First, the time that
follows the fall of the leaf, in which the plant
going to Sleep second, period of absolute rest
sound Sleep third, period when the plant has
slept long enough, and remains dormant only be-
cause the cold weather is unfavorable for activity
or growth The not unnatural conclusion was
finally reached, that if they could hurry the plants
to sleep, hurry them in fact, through the first two
stages, they would be ready for the forcing hot
house treatment some months earlier.
After this conclusion reached, Professor
Johansen began his experiments with ether and
choroform in plant culture. He found that
posure to the fumes of either of these anesthetic
drugs produced profound sleep in plants it does
in individuals. For nearly four years this method
of forcing plants has been adopted with gratifying
success from a commercial viewpoint By this

made to produce two crops in the year. The nat
ural crop is ready for market in May and early June
By the latter part of August the plants to be
etherized lifted and conveyed to a room that
can be made practically air tight. The openings
to the room then sealed, and the ether poured
through hole in the roof into vessel in the room
With some plants two doses necessary The
time required for etherization varies according
the species The anesthetc process has the effect
OF drying up the tissues, and in few hours produc
ing changes in the plants that would have taken
months, if left to nature
Plants etherized in August are ready for market
usually by November
At the Cornell university experiment station
another most interesting discovery in relation to
plant growth has been made in recent years After
a series of experiments extending over more than
quarter of century, regarding the effects of light
plant growth, the acetylene gas method has been
adopted with profit in certain lines of plant culture
1t has been found that periods of darkness are not
necessary to plant maturity, and that artificial
light might be proftably used to supplement the
sunlight in the forcing process. The experiments
have produced gratifying results in Fastening to
maturity numerous plants and vegetables. Straw
berries, which were exposed to the acteylene gas
light in addition to sunlight were ready for market
over two weeks earlier than under other methods,
and still more marked results were achieved with
flowers and vegetables.
The whole series of experiments with plant growth
and habits form story Of fascinating interest
all lovers of nature. 1t would seem as though the
utmost height in plant development has surely been
reached; but doubtless the next half-century has
in store still greater achievements.

OVERS are among the luxuries of life

forefathers were content to cultivate
them for a brief season of the year, to
enjoy them while the summer lasted;
but the present generations demand them

In the latter half of the last century, glass houses
heated by various methods, were introduced which
made it possible for the florists place the
ket in the winter early spring, flowers, that if
left to nature would have blossomed months later
This forcing process gradually extended, until many
fruits and vegetables brought under this form
of treatment, with highly satisfactory results. 1t
found, however, that the forcing process could
not be used beyond certain point, owing to the
fact that plants require certain period of rest
after blooming, or after the natural season growth
is finished Bulbous plants and certain shrubs re-
fused to respond satisfactorily to the forcing treat
ment, and other means We're tried to induce them
to yield crop in the late fall or early winter
In the closing years of the nineteenth century, a
discovery was made which has since proved of
great practical value to flower cultivators. When
it was found impossible to force certain flowers
beyond certain point, the question, Why not
retard their growth" suggested itself. Thus it
that the cold storage method was adopted.
