An iulere.'tiug experiment it at present being earned out at the t’oiauie Hardens. (hri'tehuivli, by Mr dames Young, curator. The experiment consists ol the inslnllnlicll of a set of electric lamps in one ol the propagating houses, with a view to forcing the growth uf a number c.f annual-, which are: Lobelia, salpiglossis, campanula.marigold, phlox di timmondii. alyssttm. godetia, ainaraui lilts, asters ncniesia, tori'i-lisi'. stock, and salvia. The electric light' are switched on automatically at ' p.m.. and turned off tit 1 a.in. li.v this moans the plants tire given live hours’ additional light daily, and as a result the growth is stimulated.’ It is not considered that the period of sleep the plants are thus deprived of will in any way adversely tilfeet thorn, this having already been demonstrated bv experiments previously carried out in Britain and the l nited Stales. Aft i- Mr Young’s experiments had commenced the hcnedeial results were already obvious. By way of comparison plants similar to those mentioned were nut out at the same tim.e in boxes to grow in a room adjoining. no extra light being allowed to penetrate to them, '<> that they are being grown under normal conditions. An examination of the two lots of plants shows that those grown beneath the electric lights have made oil an average l a 2a nor cent, greater growth than the others (states the “Press ).
