q Hotbeds and coldframes are
Variations of method by which
gardeners can get the jump on the
weather and bring some of the
annual flowing plants into bloom
two weeks Or more ahead of plants
seeded in the open.
The hotbed ordinarily is de-
vice for heating the soil by the
heat developed in the fermenta-
zion and decay of animal manures.
The heat evolved in the manure
warns the soil and a frame of
wood and glass helps retain this
heat so that, the plants develop
in temperatures considerably
warmer than in open ground.
The coldframe is device. for
Matching the heat of the sun and
retaining 1t to moderate. the

principles: Do not plant immedi-
ately after piling the manure and
setting up the hotbed. Put Their
ncmeter in the soil and wait until
it registers a maximum heat and
teen declines for a few days,
When 1t reaches 80 degrees, or less
on the down grade. 1t is safe to
plant. Seeds need not be planted
Sc deep as outdoors. Firm the
earth with a float before planting.
Watch ventilation on warm days.
DO not water the plants late In the
day or the first thing in the morn
ing. Open the sashes a little even
OF cool days. and leave them well
open for several hours as the wea-

coldframes are often managed
similarly. but with planting two
