Please tell me what I can substitute 

 for well decayed stable manure, mix- 

 ing it with good outside soil to be used 

 ' in growing lettuce under glass. Is there 

 ^ a good brand of pulverized manure that 

 ^ I can use? It is impossible to get good, 

 '.. decomposed stable manure here at any 

 ' price. A. B. W.

The right wa^y |o get decayed manure 

 is to get it wben fresh, and keep it 

 wet and turned over frequently until 

 it is cold, so as not to allow it to burn 

 dry. It is usually spoiled by being in 

 the pile undisturbed until it burns dry 

 and loses most of its value. 



If you can not get good manure to 

 use now, you can use any of the pul- 

 verized manures or commercial fertil- 

 ia^e ckdvertised in The Review, and 

 get good results. Dried blood is a great 

 fertilizer for lettuce. Any of these fer- 

 tilizers should be covered with soil 

 and not left on top to mold, but do 

 not turn them under too deeply. If 

 your soil is not loose, you can scatter 

 some sand over it and work it in to 

 loosen it up. If it has been well ma- 

 nured, however, it is not likely to be 

 heavy. H| G. 



LETTUCE IN QEBANIUM HOUSES. 



I wish to plant my houses to lettuce, 

 80 I can get two crops without crowd- 

 ing my geraniums too much. How 

 soon can I plant the lettuce here, in 

 northeastern Ohio? I now have some 

 nice plants, about two inches high. 

 , Would it be advisable to pUwt these, 

 or would they run up too much and 

 b« too light? The variety is Grand 

 Rapids. G. C. H. 



It takes" about twelve weeks from 

 seed to market Grand Rapids lettuce. 

 The crop can be transplanted to the 

 houses about four weeks after the seed 

 is planted; so it is on the benches only 

 eight weeks. It is not too early now 

 for the lettuce plants which you say 

 are two inches tall. The demand in 

 November is usually good, although 

 the prices are lower than they are a 

 little later. Keep the ventilators wide 

 open all day, as these bright days are 

 pretty warm for the plants under glass.

LETTUCE TO FOLLOW MUMS. 



Can lettuce be grown in a violet 

 house, following Bonnaffon mums? If 

 so, when should the seed be planted? 

 I should like ^0 know a little about the 

 culture of the crop in its early stages. 

 J. A. & S. 



Yes, you can grow lettuce quite

satisfactorily ju your violet or mum 

 ^ouse. Use the 'Grand Rapids variety. 

 Plant the seed about four weeks before 

 the mums will be out of the way. 

 Transplant the seedlings as soon as 

 they are up nicely, placing them about 

 1^/^x2 inches apart, in flats or, better, 

 in a bench, and they will stay there 

 until benches are prepared for them. 



The soil should be loose and sandy 

 for best results. If the soil is too 

 heavy, scatter a good coat of sand 

 over the top, also some rotted manure, 

 and turn it well and carefully. Place 

 the plants about 6x8 inches apart in 

 the beds. Water them well at this 

 second transplanting and be careful 

 about watering afterward. Do not 

 water too often. Let the water run 

 in between the plants, as with violets, 

 so as not to wet the foliage much. 

 Keep the house cool. H. G.
