A subscriber to the “Times” who delights in the recreation of gardening was, early this season, keenly disappointed by the apparent failure of a tomato crop. The plants appeared to be in every way healthy, and, judging by the young flowers gave every prospect of an exceptional yield, but just a s the tomatoes began to form the young fruit withered and dropped olf. Blight was suspected as the cause, and a sample of the plants was forwarder! to the Government Biologist (Mr. Kirk), who forwarded the following reply:— “The shedding of the young fruit and flower stalks is not due to any specific disease, but is generally due to over-rapid growth caused by an excess of nitrogenous manures. Cold Avinds and' moist, rainy weather, which hinders nollination, is also sometimes the cause. Such shedding can often be controlled by pruning aAvay the lateral branches as soon as formed and topping the plants. In Ncaa’ Zealand, the over-use of nitrogenous manures lias much to do lvith the failure of tomato crops.” Zymolo Trokeys strengthen the voice-, preventing the irritation which follows a long strain on the vocal cords.
