airy house. Although they can be grown in frames the 

 training presents a difficulty. 



Cucumbers are generally grown in houses for early 

 crops, and trained on trellises under the glass. 



Where comparatively bulky crops like Peas, Celery, 

 Vegetable Marrows, Broad Beans and large varieties of 

 Cauliflowers are forced without a house a brick pit or 

 large frame on a substantial bank of manure is called for. 

 The manure may be bedded within a framework of stout 

 boards. This, however, is not necessary for Carrots, 

 Potatoes, Lettuces, Radishes, Turnips, Asparagus, Sea- 

 kale, Rhubarb and small Cauliflowers. For these a small 

 frame such as that in which an amateur might grow a 

 crop of summer Cucumbers will suffice. 



A supply of Parsley could also be grown in such a 

 frame by sowing seed in autumn and winter.
