May Be Forced or Retarded, to
Conform to Schedule.
Slow motion pictures taken in
The greenhouses of Peter Hend-
erson & Son Jersey City, by the
Westinghouse Lamp Company
have proved, it is announced,i
that plants grown by artificial
light may be forced or retarded
to conform to predetermined
schedule.
The pictures were taken to
show the exact degree of accel-
Grafton in the growth of plants
when forced by artificial light,
and to determine at which stage
of the plants poisoning the
light has the maximum effect.
The pictures, it was said, show
that blooming was greatly accel-
Grated, some flowers, such as tu-
lips, coming from tight buds to
full bloom in less than an hour.
S. O. Hibben, illumination man.
ager of the Westinghouse Lamp
Company, said that as soon as
more complete data on plant for
cling by light was compiled, all
greenhouses and modern farms
would find it practicable to use
lighting equipment to supplement
sunlight.
