prick out about 4in. apart, in cold frames, keeping 
about 6in. from the glass. Allow the plants all 
possible, but not too much rain, or they will become si

of frost, put on the sashes, and, in severe weather, а 
coverings of dry litter, fern, or some other non-cono 
material. Hand lights, protected in а sil 
may also be used to preserve the plants throug 
winter.. Give plenty of air at all times when 
is no frost; and on mild, dry days, throw off the

advances, plenty of water and an occasional dose of 
manure will be of great advantage. Should the crop
