ON COMMON DUNG BEDS. 43 



Mildew is the result of too much water and 

 damp, and the injurious vapours arising there- 

 from engender it ; it is also produced by the 

 materials of which the bed has been made, being 

 put together in a foul state. Sulphur is the 

 best remedy, as far as known, but it is a power- 

 ful one, and requires caution in its use. The 

 mode of applying it is, to let the affected parts 

 of the plants be sprinkled with it, powdered as 

 fine as possible; and in most instances it will 

 produce the desired effect.
