POLLINATION OF TOMATOES. 



Will you kindly tell me through the 

 columns of The Review what is the best 

 method of pollenizing tomatoes? I have 

 followed two systems — by gently shak- 

 ing the vines to liberate the pollen; by 

 going over the blossoms with an en- 

 velope and gently pressing the envelope 

 against the blossoms. In each case I 

 have had fruits that failed to set. 



T. E. H.— Can. 



Use a good-sized camel 's-hair brush, 

 or a piece of cotton wool tied to the end 

 of a stick. I have on many occasions 

 tied the end of a rabbit 's tail on a stick 

 and pollenized not only tomatoes, but 

 also grapes, nectarines, peaches and 

 other fruits. Keep a uniformly dry at- 

 mosphere in j'our tomato house. Allow 

 the plants to dry out well between 

 waterings; do not apply liquid manure 

 at all at this season. Plants with a 

 large root run, which make a strong 

 growth, are less likely to set freely 

 than those with roots in a more limited 

 space. The night temperature should 

 be 60 to 62 degrees. C. W.
