REDUCE GREENHOUSE SHADING
Many glassliouses are shaded with canvas blinds, or whitewashed to keep out the burning sun in the summer and early autumn months, This is quite neeessary, but now the sun has lost some of its heat and the light is not too strong, greenhouse subjects will require as much warmth as possible. It frequently happens that too much shade is cast over the other occupants of the greenhouse in June by climbing plants tr'ailed. over, the roof glass. This can be avoided by timely attention to , the climbing shoots. A tangle of growth is not only bad for the plants on the staging below, but also hampers the climbers themselves. These should be cut away with a sharp knife so as to admit as much light as possible. The plant. will then make little growth until the following spring. Whitewashed panes should be scrubbed clean and shading of all ltind removed.
