ON FUMIGATING GREENHOUSES. 49 



By following the foregoing practice, I have had some splendid 

 geraniums, both in colour and size; and where practised elsewhere, 

 the same success will be realized.

ON FUMIGATING GREENHOUSES. 



BY C. W. F. 



Having derived much information from the perusal of your Flori- 

 cultural Cabinet, which I have taken from its commencement, in- 

 duces me to offer the following remarks, which, if worthy of publi- 

 cation, I shall feel obliged by your inserting in an early number. 



The plans in general use for fumigating greenhouses have appeared 

 to me to be accompanied with trouble and inconvenience, which has 

 induced me to offer you a description of the plan I have adopted for 

 many years, which is both simple, cheap, and successful. I have a 

 small wire stand, or table, about the size of a large dinner-plate, 

 ■with four legs ; a slight sketch of which I here give. 



On this I place the lighted tobacco, and put the stand, or tabic, 

 on the ground, just inside the greenhouse-door; I close the latter, 

 when I find there is always sufficient draught to keep the tobacco 

 burning. By this means, the house is in a very short time full of 

 smoke, without any trouble of blowing or annoyance of smoke to the 

 individual. I think this method of fumigating can be adapted to all 

 greenhouses, as there will always be found air enough to keep the 

 tobacco burning. .
