grown between the plants in the early 

 stages of growth and the whole was

The fruits show that you had the real 

 tomato rot. There have been several 

 treatises written on this trouble and a 

 number of theories as to its probable 

 cause given. But it is a fact, never- 

 theless, that even under the most per- 

 fect climatic conditions it will appear. 

 Your temperature and general treat- 

 ment seem to have been "all -right. 



Tomatoes under glass are better kept 

 a little on the dry side, at least in 

 winter and spring. They succe^ best 

 in a limited rooting space. If they can 

 fill the beds or benches well with roots 

 before the fruits are set, all the better. 

 Top-dressings to keep plenty of live, 

 active roots at work, with an occasional 

 soaking of liquid manure, are what they 

 like. A liberal mulch of cow manure, 

 once the fruit is all set, is beneficial. 

 Remember that they must have a dry 

 atmosphere. Given that, there is little 

 chance for rot to develop. At one 

 time it was believed that the calyx 

 adhering to the fruit caused this rot. 

 I, personally, believe that too much 

 humidity in the air and soil, too much 

 root run and the use of unsuitable forc- 

 ing varieties are probable causes of the 

 rot. The varieties, you name, while 

 good outdoors, are far inferior to such 

 as Comet, Lister's Prolific, Stirling 

 Castle ^nd Best of All for forcing pur- 

 poses, and, furthermore, you will find 

 that these are peculiarly free from rot. 

 These are all purely forcing tomatoes 

 and, ex;cept for a summer crop, they are 

 the only sorts worth growing in Amer- 

 ica under glass. C. W.
