ting Of the leaves begins in the au-
tumn and continues throughout the
winter. and often until quite late in
the spring, provided prices remain
good.
Crops grown in frames are usually
superior in quality and appearance to
those grown in the open and should
be given more care in handling and
marketing. The cost OF production is
somewhat higher than for outdoor
crops, and it Is essential that they be
out up in neat packages in order to
bring the highest market price. The
more successful growers give the
work Of gathering, grading and pack
ing the crop their closest personal
attention and use only clean, attract
i've packages for handling and ship
ping.
Parsley is shipped In one-bushel
crates. half-barrel hampers, and in
four-bushel barrels. Sugar barrels are
sometimes used. When making ship
mants in the large barrels it is Gus
tomary to place a block OF ice in
the top of each barrel The barrel
is then covered with a piece Of bur
lap.
Radishes and beets are tied in
bundles and shipped in hamper bas-
kets or in the veneer barrels so com
monty used for handling spinach and
kale.
Lettuce is usually shipped in the
tapering half-barrel hamper with a
wooden cover, or sometimes in crates.
The lettuce is not washed, but is
packed as it is cut from the beds and
hauled direct to the shipping point,
where 1t is loaded into refrigerator
cars or sent by express.
CucumberS are generally picked
early in the morning. while they are
fresh and crisp. In removing cucum-
bers from the vine sharp knife or
pair of shears should be used to cut
the stems. The cucumbers are
washed by floating them for a minute
or two in tank of clear cold water
and are then placed upon rack or
screen before packing. AS rule
the box or crate in which the cucum-
bers are packed. is lined with white
paper. and when filed the top is
partly covered with Stats, leaving the
cucumbers partly exposed
