DAMPING OFF—This results from lack of ventilation. In all 
closed rooms there accumulates gas heavier than air called 
carbon dioxide. To prevent damping off, ventilate. In the 
greenhouse never place flats with seedlings on the bare 
ground, keep them on supports 6-12 inches high so that ah 
will be above the carbon dioxide layer.
