Before sowing the seeds rake the

Make the rows run north and south.
Water the bed with sprinkler having

The little seedlings are very delicate

IS worse than too little, therefore 1t Is
necessary to air the hotbed by open

Water with fine hose when the soil

When the plants have attained two

The earth should be banked all
around the frame and during cold days
and nights both the hot and cold frame
were covered with broad shutters. and
carpet thrown on top for further pro-
lection.
After the hotbed has been emptied
into the cold frame 1t may be used to
grow another crop Of seedlings.
The hotbed is also good place to
start cuttings. Slip the cuttings, place
them IN a dish containing sand which
should be kept as wet as mud, and the
slips will grow In short time.

SWEET PEAS FOR FIVE
MONTHS
By LIMA r. ROSE.

If you plan to have sweet peas next
year plant them so that you will be
able to enjoy their beauties for at
least five months.
Dig trench rs long as wanted and
10 inches to two feet deep. and at the
bottom put layer Of old manure.
Cover with soil that has been made
fairly rich with old rotten manure.
Down the center run two burrows
eight inches deep and ten inches wide.
Fill with well-rotted manure or leaf
mold and mix with the surrounding
soil. Do this early in February.
Make two trenches again five inches
deep and eight inches apart, and In
these sow the seed two inches apart
and cover with soil about one inch and
firm it WELL Little by little, as the
peas grow. fill up the trench. When
the peas are four inches high provide
chicken wire trelises or brush for
them to climb on. On account Of the
wire getting pretty hot In the strong
sunshine some people find they have
better success with the brush.

of the critics. Utility, not beauty, IS
my aim.
The glass cover had done duty as a
cupboard door for many years and
when the house was reInodeled 1t was
consigned to the attic until 1t was
pressed into Its present state Of use
fitness.
The frame measures % inches high
mt the back and slopes down the sides
TO the front to 12 inches; the glass
frame is fastened to the back with
hinges. An excavation was dug by
the man Of the house and the frame
placed upon It,
The excavation Is eight or ten inches
deeper than the frame. and the frame
stands II inches above the soil ut the
back. and the front five inches. A
stout stake was driven into the four
corners of the frame to support 1t.
The bed Is located south of the sum-

The earth is banked around the
frame and ditch carries all the sur

IT is impossible to give any hard and

composition and texture Of the ma

1t IS safe to say, however, that the
pile must he worked over several times
