AN INDOOR SUMMER CROP. 



What crop can be put in a greenhouse 

 27xGU and so grown that it will pay well 

 this summer? S. A. W.— Mass. 



There is no flower crop you could start 

 now that would give you any returns 

 before late summer or fall. Asters, 

 such as American Branching, would 

 come in season in September and Oc- 

 tober. I think a vegetable crop would 

 pay you most, either tomatoes or cu- 

 cumbers. The former would be easier 

 for you to handle than the latter, unless 

 you have handled cucumbers before. 

 The sooner tomatoes can be planted the 

 better. Train the plants to a single 

 stem. Plant them in solid beds if you 

 have such beds and place the plants an 

 average of eighteen inches apart each 

 way. Kemember that tomatoes require 

 a dry atmosphere and must not be 

 sprayed overhead. Cucumbers require 

 a warm and moist atmosphere.
