Tobacco Juice Vapor for Plants.
The vapor of tobacco juice has been tested in France as an insecticide in green houses with great success. Instead of burning or smoking the tobacco, which is a very offensive prooess to some persons, the tobacco is made into an extract by soaking or boiling, and the juice is~ then placed over a chafing dish, a fire, or the flame of an ordinary lamp, and deposited in the greenhouse or conservatory. Delicate plants which are very sensitive to smoke are not injured by this vapor, and it leaves no j offensive atmosphere, while it effectually disposes of thrips, lioe, scale insects, and slags, j One quart of tobacco juice vaporized in & house containing 350 cubic feet is an ample amount.
