 (leptlk ef OHe and one-half to two inches 

 over tho i)hints. The sales record 

 showed a loss of forty-five per 

 cent, whieh seems rather high. We 

 havo to economize on frame space 

 and I am wondering, therefore, if we 

 could offset this loss by using 3-inch 

 paper pots in which to pot up in Sep- 

 tember enough plants to replace, in the 

 spring, those lost by the winter's kill- 

 ing, so that we could start our sales 

 with full frames. Would such potted 

 plants winter if plunged in frames out- 

 doors ami mulched the same as those 

 set in tho ground? Is there a better 

 methoJ? H. L. W.— N. Y. 



It 18 q»iite probable that more of 

 these plants were lost through rotting 

 than by freezing. Try sowing the 

 pansy seed August 10, as before. Then 

 transplant the seeillings into the open 

 frame when ready, not covering with 

 sasheS. Keep well watered, if necessary, 

 and do not put the sashes on until 

 well into November or when the ground 

 is well frozen. Do not use straw or 

 mulching of any description. Let the 

 sashes be the only winter protection, 

 without other covering of any kind. I 

 have followed this plan with good suc- 

 cess oxer severe winters. M. P.
