storing vegetables, roots, such as Asparagus, 

 Rhubarb, and for Strawberry plants in pots, or 

 the like; for keeping half-hardy things in the 

 winter, and again in the spring for setting out 

 plants which have been 

 started early in the green- 

 house, thus beating the out- 

 door garden by several 

 weeks — for all these and 

 many other purposes. It 

 is unnecessary to enlarge 

 here on the work in the 

 frames — that is done in 

 other books and pamphlets 

 of various greenhouse concerns who make frames 

 of all sizes from the small ones called melon 

 frames to the standard sizes using sash 3 feet 

 wide and 6 long. 



This shows how part of a 

 pit can be easily converted 

 into a coldfrarae or hotbed 

 by using a bench for the 

 soil.
