They get an hour's repose; then the clectrics are tirned on, and the flowers absorb the | artificlal light and heat as greedily as they do the sun's rays For five hours this process of en- forced growth goes on, when the lights are dimmed and the plants per mitted to snatch a bhit of rest before the sun comes out to start them work- ing again Carnations, !lles, poppies, dahlias, asters and roses respond to this treat. ment, the scientists declared. If the sun hides for a day or two, the elec- trics are substituted. Vegetables, they say, can the seed weeks before the sun usual. 1y attains sufficient warmth to keep thm alive, and their maturity is cor- respondingly early One striking example the experi- menters promised to exhibit tomaer. row, when the tests officially end, wwill be two hean plants, started in life simultaneously from twin seeds. One plant, retsricted to the sun's rays, is just beginning to blossom. The other, grown under a combina- tion of sun and electrie lights, has long pods, well developed.
