with sufScient pitch to allow plenty of 

 head-room. The construction will depend 

 largely upon the amount of money you 

 intend to spend. A steel frame con- 

 struction is the best, as it lasts longer; 

 but just as good cucumbers can be grown 

 in a sashbar house. 



The house should have suflBcient pip- 

 ing, with boiler power behind it to 

 keep up a temperature of 70 degrees 

 in the coldest weather. It is not neces- 

 sary to bench your house, as the plants 



will grow just as well on the ground 

 floor, providing you have a good soil, 

 liberally enriched. But you must pro- 

 vide a trellis on which to train the plants. 

 In a house twenty feet wide there will 

 be nice room for four rows. Your pipes 

 can be run along the sides of your house, 

 and the plants should be set far enough 

 back to be away from the burning in- 

 fluence of the pipes. 



You say you want all the information 

 you can get, but if you would be a little 



more specific and tell me the points on 

 which you wish to be enlightened I may 

 be able to help you better. Cucumber 

 growing is a large subject; hence the 

 need of knowing just what points you 

 desire information on.
