 quality of his fruit, and that is not to be too covetous of

 transmit the whole of the solar rays. So that the quantity 

 of fruit, proportioned to the surface of the leaves, must 

 always be less under glass, than if the plant were exposed 

 in its natural climate to the full influence of the Heavens.
