Please give a little information on 

 growing green peppers, spinach and 

 cauliflower in greenhouses during the 

 winter. Please give temperature, va- 

 rieties to plant for best results, time 

 of starting seed for a Christmas crop, 

 and any othw necessary information 

 for the beginner in these vegetables. I 

 have grown lettuce and radishes for 

 several years with good results and 

 believe I can do as well with the va- 

 rieties named above. I have a house 

 in which I will grow tomatoes, also 

 one which will be planted tS" cucum- 

 bers, and will carry a high tempera- 

 ture, which I believe will be ideal for

 have not he&d room for the crops 

 named. B. JP. C.

 north by carloads, selling at low prices,
