RAWSON'S HOTHOUSE 

 CUCUMBER 



A* a forcing Cucumber b one of the largest and most 

 profitable crops of the Market Gardener, it is essential 

 that the very oest possible strain should be sown. 

 With this idea in view we have made selections for the 



Est few years from our Kawson's White Spine, which 

 ve resulted in a strain about two inches looKer and 

 a darker green in color, with a few light spines showing 

 at blossom end. Tbia new strMin we confidently 

 believe to be aaperior to any other on the market. 

 The results we have had at our own greeuhouses with 

 die stock conclusively prove the above to be true. H

into the corners of the box and around 

 the edges; then smooth it perfectly and 

 press it down lightly with a square board 

 not much lower than the edge of the box. 

 The seed should be covered thinly and 

 watered very carefully. Keep the soil 

 .just moist; if overwatered, the entire lot 

 may damp off and be lost. 



The tiny plants should be transplanted, 

 when only a few days old, into other 

 boxes, putting the plants about an inch 

 or an inch and a half apart. There 

 they will make nice, bushy plants by the 

 time they are needed. Give the plants 

 plenty of fresh air and do not let them 

 run too warm. A temperature of 45 

 degrees at night and 55 to 60 degrees in 

 the daytime will make a nice, healthy 

 growth, better able to stand the diseases 

 to which lettuce is subject. Watering 

 should be light and early in the day. 

 Great care should be taken to prepare 

 a light, sandy soil, enriched with well 

 rotted manure. If the benches have 

 been used for pot plants, tear all cover- 

 ing from the cracks in the bottom, to 

 give the soil good drainage. If neces- 

 sary, tear up the bottom and replace it, 

 leaving a crack between the boards. Then 

 put on a good coat of whitewash. Ster- 

 ilized soil is excellent for lettuce. 



Tomatoes require about five months 

 from the planting of the seed until the 

 plants commence to bear. They can, 

 however, be kept in flats and pots about 

 three months of this time, before bench- 

 ing. Comet is considered the best forc- 

 ing variety by many of the leading 

 growers. For further information on 

 tomatoes, see the Review of August 22,
