book l8 divided into two distinct sections. The 

 lirst section, consisting of fifty-one pages, con- 

 tains a list of new and rare plants, and classified 

 lists of some of the principal lines of stock, such 

 as irises, asters, peonies, delphiniums, phloxes, 

 etc. The second section, beginning on page 62, 

 contains a complete alphabetical list of the border 

 and rock plants, with brief descriptions; this 

 section also serves as an Index to the first part of 

 the book. 



Vegetable Forcing 



TOMATOES IN HOTBEDS. 



How should I proceed to grow toma- 

 toes in a hotbed? I want about 9,000 

 plants from seed, to plant out at the 

 end of May. When should the seed 

 be sownf Should it be sown in boxes 

 or in the open bedt I thought of plac- 

 ing about six inches of good soil over 

 the manure. How far should the seed 

 rows be apart t Should I transplant the 

 plants from the seed bed or boxes after 

 they have made about three or four 

 leaves, straight from the hotbed into a 

 coldframet The location is in Ontario 

 between Hamilton and Buffalo, close to 

 the lake shore. We usually have cold 

 weather until the end of March, but 

 not much zero weather after February, 

 I should be glad to have full particu- 

 lars. S. J. C. 



If you prepare a hotbed of horse ma- 

 nure, you can grow all the tomatoes 

 you want. The best plan is to throw 

 the manure into a heap outdoors and 

 turn it over daily for a week to let 

 the rank heat escape. Some leaves 

 added will prevent overheating and will 

 make the bed hold its warmth longer. 

 Tramp th« manure firmly in the frames, 

 and, where at all dry, moisten a little. 

 Six inches of soil will be ample; if it 

 contains a little well rotted and pulver- 

 ized manure, all the better. Draw drills
