COTTON CLOTH FOR COLD FRAMES. 



.Tust common white unbleached cotton cloth, such 

 as you get at your neare'-t drygoods store, is all 

 that is needed. It should be rather stout and 

 heavy, however, (the kind known as 8 oz.i especially 

 if you want to cover your cold-frames with straw 

 or "leaves, as directed on page 9 of the tomato book 

 The kind we use is Utica .sheeting, nine-fourths 

 wide (78 in., to be exact), and it is wortli just now in 

 the market about 35c per yard for a full piece of 

 about 40 yards. If you do not find it near your 

 liome to suit you, we can furnish it at the above 

 figure. 



A NEW BOOK ON TOMATO CULTURE, PLANT GROW- 

 ING, AND HIGH-PRESSURE GARDENING IN 

 GENERAL. 



The tomato-book is finally all complete, ready to 

 mail to applicants. Price 35c; by mail, postpaid, 40. 



To get your tomatoes started, more or less garden- 

 ing under glass must be done, as you are probably 

 well aware. Well, when you can manage the toma- 

 to under glass, you are ready to manage almost any 

 other vegetable" crop; therefore we regard the to- 

 mato book as one of the most valuable if not (?)f 

 most valuable of any work on raising plants and 

 vegetables that require protection from tlie frost; 

 and whether the protection is to be in tlie fall of the 

 year, or the middle of the winter, or in the spring 

 montbs. you will find the tomato book full of tiie 

 latest and most modern appliances for giving- pro- 

 tection at the smallest expense. Of course, a part 

 of it has already appeared in Gleanings; but prob- 

 ably considerably more than half will be found new 

 to our readers.
