more particularly, we think, to their 

 more delicate flavor and greater ten- 

 derness than the out-of-door products. 

 We know of persons who having par- 

 taken freely of greenhouse cauliflower 

 and string beans during the winter and 

 .spring months, have actually acquired 

 a distaste for these from the summer 

 garden, and do not eat them. 



Not a few private estates in various 

 parts of the country now have elabor- 

 ate vegetable forcing houses — the 

 Spaulding Estate at Prides, Mass., is 

 perhaps the most extensive in New 

 England. Here the gardener, Mr. F. 

 E. Cole, turns out from November un- 

 til July a continuous supply of nearly 

 all vegetables seen in the summer gar- 

 den. Cauliflower grown in pots or on 

 benches is supplied from November 

 to June, as are also beets, beans, toma- 

 toes, cucumbers, spinach and a large 

 variety of salad plants. Among other 

 greenhouse vegetables forced by Mr. 

 Cole are asparagus, corn, melons, 

 squash, rhubarb, sea-kale, etc. Mr. 

 Cole is an expert on mushroom cul- 

 ture, a section of one of his benches 

 being reproduced in the accompanying 

 illustration. The crop here grown is 

 from the pure culture spawn, which 

 gives a large solid mushroom particu- 

 larly suitable for broiling, but perhaps 

 somewhat coarser in texture and less 

 highly flavored than the smaller "but- 

 tons" produced from the imported mill- 

 track spawn.
