strong. They must be taken from the seed rows, separated 
from each other, and replanted in suitable quarters. The 
hardy ones can go to the cold frames, while the more tender 
sorts must still have the gentle bottom heat of the hot bed. 
Some gardeners transplant even radishes, though others do 
not, saying that the practice makes too many fibrous roots. 
It is at transplanting time that the gardener wishes for 
expansion, for more sashes. He finds himself with a host of 
little plants, all demanding elbow room, and he sees that the 
coming of spring will create a market for just such healthy 
plants. ‘The cropping season out-of-doors can be hastened by 
the use of well-started things like these, and the neighbors 
are certain to want plants for their gardens. 
It is the same with the flower seeds. The young plants 
ought to be reset in more ample quarters, so that they can 
have root expansion, and make a more hardy and stocky 
growth than was possible in the crowded seed row. 
The hot bed is the second step in the art of growing 
vegetables during twelve months of the year. Its economy, 
from a financial standpoint, is in working the frames to their 
fullest capacity, following one crop immediately with another. 
In the autumn, as heretofore intimated, we may if we 
please set the hot beds again to work in forcing winter 
crops, and may produce lettuce, radishes, &c., even in Janu- 
ary, at a time when high prices prevail. 
Handsome profits reward success in winter gardening.
