398 Diseases of Greenhouse Crops

 light.

 greenhouse is below 52 degrees or above 70 degrees F.

 handling the chemicals whether gloves have been 

 used or not. 



"Do not allow the acid to splash or drop on the

 necessary to place the cyanid in the jars, and never 

 enter a greenhouse charged with the gas until it has 

 been thoroughly aired.

 before setting off the charge, and to see that the 

 greenhouse is closed tightly. 



"Do not attempt to fumigate a large greenhouse 

 alone. 



"Do not fumigate a greenhouse adjoining a dwell- 

 ing without notifying the occupants before fumi- 

 gation.

 water.

 tions I to do so may cause serious results."
