AN UNHEATED GREENHOUSE. 



I wish to build a greenhouse, 40 x 100 

 feet, on the north side of a range of 

 greenhouses. In this house I intend 

 to grow only summer flowers, such as 

 Kaiserin roses, sweet peas and asters. 

 I do not wish to heat the house, as it 

 would necessitate installing a new 

 boiler. The temperature in this part of 

 Virginia occasionally drops to 5 degrees 

 below zero. Would the Kaiserins stand 

 it if well mulched? Of course, the 

 sweet peas and asters could be planted 

 late in the spring. Is such a house prac- 

 tical? I shall greatly appreciate any 

 information you can give. J. F. 



The Kaiserin roses will come through 

 the winter all right if they are well 

 mulched and the beds are run on the 

 dry side. The sweet peas could be sown 

 quite early, by the early part of Feb- 

 ruary if the ground is suflBciently open. 

 It will not harm them if the ground is 

 frozen over occasionally after sowing. 

 Or you could start plants in flats of 

 sand or sandy loam and transplant to 

 the unheated house not later than the 

 end of March. The sweet peas will do 

 far better if started as early as possi- 

 ble. They want a night temperature 

 10 degrees lower than the roses, while 

 asters do better if even cooler than 

 sweet peas. Give the Kaiserins the 

 warmest part of the house and the

asters the coldest. The asters should be 

 planted early in April. Such a house 

 should prove practical for the crops 

 named and could also be profitably util- 

 ized for chrysanthemums. You could, 

 if necessary, plant such crops as gla- 

 dioli, ten weeks' stocks, double fever- 

 few. Spiraea Japonica and antirrhinums 

 for Memorial day, in addition to sweet 

 peas, and these could be followed by 

 chrysanthemums. C. W. 



Poughkeepsie, N. Y. — The Lynch 

 property, offered at auction, recently, 

 was withdrawn, no suitable offer being 

 received. Conrad C. Gindra has pur- 

 chased much of the stock of the late 

 Peter Devoy place and will expand some 

 this spring.
