any stable manure with the soil of the frame but throw 

 in a few handfuls of steamed bone flour and soot and 

 dig them well together. Then plant the cauliflowers 

 about six inches apart. Give them plenty of air and water 

 in genial weather. When frosty, cover the frame with 

 old carpets or matting. Transplant in the open in 

 spring, when a very early supply will be available. 



Winter spinach may be sown in the frame and grown 

 there to maturity. Sow in late September or early 

 October in rows about eight inches apart, and cover up 

 with the siftings from an old manure heap. Give plenty 

 of water and as much air as possible ; thin out if required. 



Carrots will also do well in the cold frame if sown 

 before mid- October. Choose the stump-rooted varieties 

 and give no manure but a dressing of soot. Keep the 

 bed moist and grow the crop as near the glass as possible. 



Many other vegetables, beyond those mentioned here, 

 will readily answer to treatment in cold frames. The 

 above are merely given as typical of what can be grown.
