berries also shows that the atmosphere of the house

have left their marks indelibly on the berries. 
Another season copious supplies of water should be 
given the border, so as to enable the roots to perform 
their functions properly all through the growing 
season. This will help to sustain the atmospheric 
moisture, but should be supplemented by damping 
down all available surfaces and by syringing two 
or three times a day during dry and bright weather, 
until the berries begin to colour, after which the 
damping of the border and paths, etc., should 
suffice.
