course is readily salable. A writer in
American Gardening tells how to make
the most out of every inch of available
space on and under the benches and on
the north wall besides He says:
Our plan is to start everything in
flats, even radishes, grow them as large
as admissible i'll this way and then
prick the good sized plants ont on the
benches. But even then we plant LET
tuce close and afterward thin gradual

begin to crowd one another 70 remove
every other plant alternately i'll tht

about seven inches apart each way
They are allowed to grow until they
again begin to crowd one another for
room, when they arc as large as the
forced lettuce usually found in onr
markets. The commercial grower would
now gather and sell the whole crop, hut
where we want a continuous supply
and some extra large plants besides we
remove only every other row, leaving
the remaining plants ten inches apart
each way. Just as soon rs the bed IS 'en.

In open air operations | aim to avoid
transplantlng wherever possible, prefer
ring to sow many seeds, such as lettuce,
cabbage aud cauliflower, i'll drills and to
thin the plants to the proper distance
instead of starting them i'll seed beds or
fats and transplanting to their perma-
nent place i'll the field. A similar course
in tne greenhouse on hotbed would leave

long periods This would not do.
