How 10 Use Forcing Frames in
Victory Garden
BY DEAN HALLIDAY
Released by Central Press ASSOCIATION

Certain accessories, illustrated
in the accompanying Garden
Graph, are useful in the proper
care and regulation Of frames.
Lath sashes, as illustrated, can be
used to give partial shade for the
plants. Straw or burly mats can
be used to place over the sash, as
illustrated, when seedlings need
protection from intense sunshine.
Mats are also useful for night
protection OF frames when the
weather turns extremely cold.
A simple but useful gadget as
an aid in regulating ventilation Of
a frame is the notched block OF
wood. illustrated in the Garden
Graph. The use OF this notched
block permits step-by-step raising
Of the sash to various heights.
Since seeding plants must al
ways be protected against cold
winds, II is advisable on cold
windy days to raise the sash very
slightly.
