GROWING LETTUCE. 



I want to gain information along a 

 line connected with the under glass 

 problem. My home is on a farm of 118 

 acres, adapted principally to stock grow- 

 ing. I was born on this farm, so am 

 somewhat familiar with farm manage- 

 ment. Now the point is here: I do not 

 wish to farm in the regular way, for 

 there is not money enough in it. I have 

 been successful raising a few sheep and 

 have started in a small way to raise 

 Shetland ponies and am doing a nice 

 little business with White Wyandotte 

 chickens. Now, if I could grow some- 

 thing under glass, that would net me, 



say, $500 a year, my circle would be com- 

 plete. My sheep and ponies take but 

 little attention and the chickens, say, 

 one to two hours a day. 



You are sending me a treatise on as- 

 paragus culture. The treatise on violets 

 was received yesterday. Now I want in- 

 formation on growing lettuce under 

 glass. I have a wood lot of some forty 

 acres where I could obtain a great many 

 wagonloads of leaf-mold, also fine de- 

 cayed wood. Could I use some in any 

 way for lettuce growing? As I am not 

 a professional florist, my chances of suc- 

 cess are better along one line. I am 

 only thirty-seven miles from Cleveland, 

 ninety from Pittsburg, thirty from 

 Youngstown and thirty from Akron. In 

 short, can a farmer put up a greenhouse, 

 say, 22x100 feet, grow some one or two 

 things, and make enough money to pay 

 for time and money expended. H. J. A. 



It should be easily , possible for you 

 to make a fair profit out of a house of 

 lettuce. Lettuce is not a difficult crop to 

 handle and it is one that is reasonably 

 certain of a market in one of the neigh- 

 boring cities you mention. Your soil 

 will serve admirably, with the addition 

 of stable manure. 



CUCUMBERS. 



I have a greenhouse, 20x100 feet, now 

 devoted to other crops, but I would like 

 to try cucumbers. How many plants 

 w ill the house hold ; that is, how far 

 apart in rows should they be planted 

 and how many rows to a bench? What 

 is the usual date of planting and how 

 long are they in crop? How many cu- 

 cumbers might I expect to pick from 

 each plant and what other, crops would 

 you suggest using with them? How 

 about chrysanthemums followed by let- 

 tuce and then cucumbers? W. H. E. 



The plants should be set eighteen 

 inches apart in the rows, that will make 

 twenty-five plants to the row of 100 feet. 

 The number of rows will depend largely 

 on the arrangement of your benches.
