Vegetable Forcing. 



A CEOP TJNDER THE BENCHES. 



What will be the most profitable crop 

 to grow under benches that are from 

 three to five feet high? Our houses are 

 new and the ground is fresh and sweet. 

 The benches are five feet wide and 200 

 feet long. It seems to us that there 

 should be something profitable grown 

 under the benches. M. F. & V. C. 



Do not figure on any profit coming 

 from under the benches. It will aver- 

 age you nothing above the trouble and 

 nuisance. I have grown mushrooms 

 under benches in carnation houses, 

 some rhubarb and parsley along the 

 edges and asparagus in warmer houses, 

 but I do not put any crop under the 

 benches now. I prefer to have the 

 heating pipes under them and thus get 

 more profit oflF the top of the benches. 



Nothing will do well under benches 

 where the heating pipes are, if benches 

 of standard height are used. I have 

 noticed many growers who have tried 

 everything and have given it up as poor 

 business. There are times when it is 

 convenient, if temporarily crowded, to 

 put bulb flats and many other things 

 along the edge of the path, but it is no 

 place to leave them long. H. G.
