268 THE GARDEN UNDER GLASS for most plants, and there is danger of glass breakage during windy weather if the weights used to'keep them on be not heavy enough.
A permanent shade may be made by mixing slaked lime wxth sour milk. It should be brought down to a fine wash, and if put on when the glass is clean and dry it will wear well throughout the season. It can be put on more easilv than the advertised mixtures, and for all practical purposes it is preferable. The objection to this form of shading is that dunng sunless periods the plants are robbed of much sunlight which they would relish, and are thereby rendered less robust. All plants which show a disposition to flag should be shaded, if they cannot be kept erect by dewing them over with a syringe ; for I find that such plants as o not m the ordinary course need shading are best lightlv sprayed over when they flag. Often this will bring the leaves up again. If not, the shading must perforce be used.
