southern exposure. The most conven-
lent size is a box-like structure 6 feet
wide and any multiple Of 3 feet long
so that standard 3 by 6 feet hotbed
sash may be used. The frame should
be IL inches high in the back and 8
inches on the front. This slope is for
the purpose Of securing better angle
for the suns rays and should be faced
toward the south.
The hotbed not only must collect
any heat it can from the sun, but also
must generate heat of it's own from
fermentation in fresh manure. Fresh
horse manure, free from stable litter,
is best for generating heat.
| II the hotbed Is to be an annual af-
fair, make an excavation Is inches to
feet deep, about 2 feet greater in
length and width than the frame car
rying the sash. Line the excavation
with plank or with brick or, con-
crete wall A drain to carry off surplus
water is essential. After a sufficient
amount of fresh horse manure has
been accumulated, fill the pit, and
while it is being filed tramp the man
ure as firmly and as evenly as pos
pible; when the ground level is reach
place the frame in position and bank
the sides and ends with manure. Place
about inches of good garden loan on
top Of the manure inside the frame and
cover it with the sash. After the heat
has reached its maximum and has sub
sided to between 500 and 800 F., 1t will
be safe to plant the seeds. Select the
plumpest, freshest seeds obtainable.
Use standard varieties and get them
from reliable seed houses.
Keep the bed partially dark until
the seeds terminate.
After termination, however, the
plants will need all the light possible,
exclusive Of the direct rays Of the sun,
to keep them growing rapidly. This is
crisis in plant life and ventilation
and watering with great care are of
prime importance. Too close planting
and too much heat and water cause
the plants to become spindling. Water
the plants on clear days, in the morn
ing, and ventilate Immediately to dry
the foliage and to prevent mildew.
The Cold Frame.
The cold frame, so useful in harden
ing plants started in the hotbed and
for starting plants in mild climates, is
constructed in much the same way as
the hotbed, except that no manure is
used, and the frame may be covered
either with glass sash, or with cam
vas A cold frame may be built on the
surface of the ground. but a more per-
manent structure suitable for holding
plants over winter will require a pit
Is to "a inches deep. The cold frame
should be filled with a good potting
soil. The plants should have more ven
tilation in the cold frame but should
not receive so much water. 1t is best
to keep the soil rather dry.
In transplanting remember that
plants usually thrive better If trans
planted into ground that has been
freshly cultivated. TranspIanting to
the open field Is be(t done in cool,
cloudy weather, ard in the afternoon.
This prevents the suns rays from
causing the plant to lose too much
moisture through evaporation. In
transpIanting. the gardener win find a
child's express wagon an excellent
trolley tray for bedding out his seed
