call it a box; it has no sash. In October 
this was filled with small candy and cigar 
boxes in which were planted the following 
kinds of seeds: sweet peas, phlox, forget-me- 
not, foxglove, salvia, pansy, oriental poppy, 
single and Allegheny hollyhocks and nastur- 
tium. These seeds were protected in the

Hardwood cuttings of vines and shrubs made now 
and planted in a frame will grow next summer

frame, except that the frame was not covered 
with a sash. 
CHEESE-CLOTH COVERS IN SPRING 
The boards were removed March 6th, 
and the leaves March 24th. After the leaves 
were removed a cover of cheese-cloth was 
fitted to the frame as a protection from frost 
and as a shade from the sun. Most of the 
seeds were making a good showing when 
the boards were removed. ‘The salvias were 
very slow in appearing and the phloxes and 
nasturtiums failed to grow. The sweet

in boxes for the earliest spring flowers 
peas were planted in deep cigar boxes. 
When we transplanted them they had roots 
six inches long. 
The seedlings in the larger frame came 
through in good condition. We have thriv- 
ing plants of phlox, Boston ivy, deutzia and 
roses which were grown from the cuttings. 
The other cuttings were not a success. 
In April I was obliged to remove one cold- 
frame but made a cheap and effective substi- 
tute. The boxes containing the seedlings 
were placed on the concrete walk close to 
the house and a piece of cheese-cloth one 
yard wide and five yards long was procured. 
One edge of this cloth was fastened to a 
narrow strip of wood, and rings were fastened 
to the other edge, at intervals, with which 
to hang the cloth on hooks screwed into the 
house. This screen protected the plants 
from late frosts and shaded them from the
