CBOPS FOR VACANT HOUSES. 



Can you inform me what crop to put 

 into my houses in order to realize some 

 money during the spring months f The 

 stock must be something that will grow 

 without artificial heat, as through an 

 accident during a cold night my boiler 

 got beyond repair and the heating sys- 

 tem will have to be changed also. I 

 erected a small structure, to be heated 

 by a stove, intending to start small 

 plants and seedlings there and set them 

 out when danger of frost in the green- 

 houses is past or passing. I was think- 

 ing of lettuce, but could anyone suggest 

 flowers, or a crop for Memorial day! I 

 have three 100-foot houses. 0. B. 



Lettuce, being the hardiest of the 

 vegetables usually grown under glass, 

 could be sown with safety, even with- 

 out fire heat, by the end of February. 

 You could follow it with a crop of 

 tomatoes, which would prove a profit- 

 able summer crop. The plants for these 

 could be started in your small house. 

 Such varieties as Comet, Best of All, 

 Chalk 's Early Jewel and Stirling Castle 

 are excellent under glass. 



In the way of flowers you could sow 

 giant white candytuft early in March 

 and have it flower for Memorial day. 

 Tou can also, if you wish, sow ten 

 weeks' stocks at once in your small 

 house and later plant them in one of 



Florist Hpecialties.

the other houses. These sell well for 

 Memorial day. Gladioli, such as Amer- 

 ica, Brenchleyensis, Au^sta and others 

 of the large flowered class, could be 

 planted at the end of February and * 

 would prove a useful and salable crop. 

 If you purchase clumps of Spir»a 

 Japonica, or any of the newer and im- 

 proved varieties, such as grandiflora or 

 Gladstone, and start them the first week 

 in April, you will have them in flower. 

 There is always an excellent sale for 

 bunches of these. If you have ample 

 head room and can sow the seeds in 

 solid beds, why not try sweet peast 

 These could safely be sown any time 

 after the middle of February. The 

 Spencer varieties would be the best to 

 use and they will give you flowers for 

 many weeks. 



If you could find sale for them, smaU 

 flats of such vegetables as lettuce, cab- 

 bage, tomato and celery would be worth 

 trying, also asters and other popular 

 bedding plants. C. W.
