that it will return, it has been an ex- 

 perience and it has taught a lesson. Let 

 no one say that flowers are not essential. 



Employing Empty Oreenliouses. 



The following suggestions have been 

 prepared by the Henry F. Michell Co.: 



On account of the restriction on the 

 use of fuel for greenhouse heating, many 

 florists will have glass that is destined 

 to be idle. It could be turned into 

 profit by adopting some of the follow- 

 ing suggestions, which can be under- 

 taken without expense of fuel: 



1. Greenhouses are an ideal place to 

 raise chicks, which will grow into early 

 spring broilers to be disposed of at big 

 prices. Greenhouse-reared chicks, with- 

 out any heat except that furnished by 

 the hen or brooder, will be ready for the 

 market weeks in advance of those 

 hatched out under a hen or in an incu- 

 bator in the usual way. They will get 

 the full benefit of sunshine and fresh 

 air and yet be out of danger of drafts, 

 rain and rodents. We would suggest in- 

 cubators to be set in the cellar during 

 October for January broilers, and in 

 February for April broilers. Why not 

 try it? Chicks will not require much 

 care and will do no damage to the green- 

 houses. Besides, it is a patriotic move 

 and one that will be approved of by the 

 government. 



2. In November you can sow radish, 

 lettuce and spinach, all of which mature 

 before cold weather sets in permanently. 

 Also, rhubarb can be taken up from out- 

 doors, planted in solid benches and cov- 

 ered with light manure. In February it 

 will start and in a few weeks will JPur- 

 nish an abundant crop that will yield 

 big returns. 



3. In February onion sets can be start- 

 ed for early green scullions. Beets, too, 

 may be sown then and be ready for 

 market by April 15, just when the seed

is generally sown outdoors. Carrots 



sown in February mature quickly. Many 



florists for the period of the war will 



find it profitable to utilize their glass 



not heated as market gardens, as fresh 



vegetables always command a ready sale 



at a good price. The following are the 



varieties suggested: 



Radish, Cardinal Globe, red. 

 Radish, Icicle, long white. 

 Spinach, Rloomsdale. 

 Rhubarb roots. Victoria. 

 Lettuce, Grand Rapids (leaf). 

 Lettuce, Big Boston (head). 



Beets, Crimson Globe. 



Carrots, Rubicon. 



Onion Sets, White Silverskin. 



Turnip, Snowball. 



Parsley, Covent Garden. 



4. Early vegetable plants, such as to- 

 mato, cauliflower, cabbage, head lettuce, 

 pepper and eggplant, can be had from 

 seed sown in March and these find a 

 ready sale in almost every community 

 where a garden space adjoins the dwell- 

 ing. Let 's all be optimists and make the 

 best of what we can't rule otherwise.
