VEGETABLES FOR GREENHOUSE CULTURE 



TN ADDITION to the kinds described on preceding 

 * pages, the very much larger space available in green- 

 houses makes possible the cultivation of larger growing 

 plants such as cucumbers, melons, and tomatoes. Cauli- 

 flower is also a profitable greenhouse crop, grown on side 

 benches, as is parsley, a few roots of which will furnish 

 garnishing all winter. 



In the greenhouse the heat is under absolute control 

 and by partitioning the house, cool season crops as well 

 as those requiring a higher temperature may be enjoyed 

 at one and the same time. But do not attempt to grow 

 radish, lettuce, spinach, and beets side by side with beans 

 and tomatoes. The average night temperature required 

 by the latter is sixty-five degrees, whereas the former 

 "cool season" crops thrive best under sixty degrees. 



While experience is the most dependable guide in grow- 

 ing vegetables in the greenhouse, the following table will 

 help the beginner to start right:
