Vegetable Forcing 



APHIS ON CABBAOES. 



What shall I use to destroy green fly 

 on young cabbage plants f 



H. C. B.— Md. 



If they are in coldframes, put on the 

 sashes and give a fumigation with a 

 nicotine paper. Or you can spray with 

 a nicotine extract or any of the soap 

 preparations, such as whale oil soap, 

 kerosene emulsion, Aphine or even 

 Ivory soap. One pound of the Ivory 

 soap, sliced fine( and dissolved in boil- 

 ing water, with enough water Added to 

 make the total liquid five gallons, 

 makes a cheap, effective insecticide for 

 aphis. C. W. 



LARGE TOMATOES FOR FORCINa. 



I have a house of Comet tomatoes 

 which are bearing profusely, but the 

 fruit is small and will not sell against 

 the large ones that come up from Flor- 

 ida. Is there a larger tomato that will 

 force under glass during the winter f 



F^ B.— Ala. 



Comet is the leading forcing tomato 

 for the great northern markets, where 

 fruits which will run from six to eight 

 to the pound in winter are much pre- 

 ferred to those of larger size. Lister's 

 Prolific, Carter's Sunrise, Sutton's Best 

 oi'JSH, 'Stirling Castle and all other 

 purely forcing tomatoes are small varie- 

 ties, carrying a good number of fruits 

 per bunch. I do not know of a large- 

 fruited tomato adapted for forcing pur- 

 poses. You might try Chalk's Early 

 Jewel, a somewhat larger fruit, which 

 has succeeded fairly well with some. 

 Stone is a splendid tomato, the best we 

 have outdoors, but it is not of much 

 value in the winter. If you want a 

 late spring or early summer crop, it 

 would be fdl right. I am somewhat sur- 

 prised that customers prefer outdoor 

 Florida tomatoes to those ripened under 

 glass. The indoor fruit is immeasur- 

 ably superior in flavor and the color is 

 always rich. C. W.
