PLATE 6. Hotbeds and Cold Frames. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement 

 for making soot water (see p. 51). Fig. 2 illustrates thenotbed 

 described in Chapter VI. A box with a glass lid and an addi- 

 tionaliwooden lid is useful for forcing purposes (Fig. 3). Fig. 4 

 reminds us that injwindy cold weather frames must be covered 

 and weighted. Fig. 5 shows a simple device for propping open 

 frame lights. A pit lined with manure serves the same purpose 

 as a hotbed and is more economical (Fig. 6).
