This is about the practice Of some Of
the larger growers in North Carolina
who have steam pipes running through
the frames that are covered with cloth,
and have the Skinner system Of water
ing overhead.
Alternating this way and getting a
humus-making crop in the frames each
alternate year is a great preventative
of disease in the soil.
The setting of lettuce for the late
winter and spring crop will now keep
the gardener busy. The plants for
this purpose are best grown outside
! and protected as the weather gets cold
| with cotton cloth. The first to second
week in December is early enough to
set this crop and in my experience it is
usually a more profitable crop than the
fall one. In fact, l have found that
we'll headed lettuce will bring more
money in April than earlier, though the
growers should be at hand to supply the
demand as nearly as possible all the
time from November to May.
Always SOW lettuce thinly broadcast
for we get better plants than by crowd
ing IN rows. Market Growers Journal.

lettuce Under Glass.

IF the admirable articles on forcing
Lettuce which have been prepared by
Prof. Wald, of the Ohio Station
should attract anyone in the South
| would warn them that in all my ex-
p%erience under glass | have found that
the head Lettuce that is popular in the
Eastern markets cannot be grown in
fixed roof houses in the South, but
the Grand Rapids is about the only
sort that can be grown to perfection
in such houses there.
| believe that heated houses can be
successfully used for Lettuce in the
central and upper South if they are
merely narrow sash houses that can be
stripped ami thus kept from getting too
hot. / found in North Carolina that
with a fixed roof house ! could not pre-
vent it's getting too hot in daytime for
head Lettuce, while the Grand. Rapids
did finely. The Hanson also makes an
immense bunch of fairly we'll blanched
character, but does not make the great
hard heads that it does in frames.
In fact, unless it be in the mountain
sections of the South l can see no
reason for anyone using a heated green
house for Lettuce, since with sashes on
frames we can grow it well enough.
In fact, l grew head Lettuce last WIN
ter in a back yard in Philadelphia, and
today ] have here in southern Mary
land. as fine Lettuce as Ear be seen
anywhere in a cold frame which has
been stripped Of glass as often as COW
cred during November.
I have plenty of plants outside, and
as soon as this fall crop is cut will
take the risk of replanting with Han
som ard Grand Rapids for the spring.
As a rule, this ~replanting is a risky mat
ter, for I have found that there is apt
to be q good deal of rot. But the frame
I am now Using is on land never before
used for Lettuce and I hope that | may
not have much difficulty.
Nevertheless | do not advise the re-
planting of a frame with spring Let
tuce after a fall crop has been cut.
This leaGs me tosay that the crop should
never be cut, but pulled ont by the
roots and trimmed so as to leave as lit
tie refuse in the soil as practicable.
One great advantage of having steam
heat is that one can follow the fall
crop of Lettuce with Beets and Rad
ishes, and finally in early spring
with Cucumbers, and can then SOW the
frames in COW peas to be turned under
in the late fall for the planting of the
crop for the late winter and spring
markets, and can thus keep the frames
at work every day in the year, the fall
crop Immediately following the cucum-
bers.
