Sowing Iceland Poppies in 
November 
qpee Iceland poppy furnishes us the 
loveliest yellow and orange flowers to 
be found in the poppy family; although it 
is a perennial according to the books it can 
easily be treated as an annual. In order to 
avoid the spring rush and to enjoy the pleas- 
ures of gardening every month of the year, 
I sow everything in the fall that I can, and 
last November I sowed some Iceland poppies 
ina coldframe where the seeds were dormant 
all winter. I might have sowed them out of 
doors, but we had no special use for the cold- 
frame and it gave me a convenient chance 
to keep the seeds dormant by covering the 
frames. The seeds started to grow perhaps 
six weeks earlier than I could have sowed 
them out-of-doors in the spring and the 
poppies bloomed June roth, a month earlier 
than usual which was well worth while.

Lettuce in March Without 
Artificial Heat 
Eee September I sowed lettuce in a 
coldframe for which we had no special 
use and left the ventilators open until late 
in November when the soil was thoroughly 
frozen. I then covered the frames with 
matting to keep out the sunlight. The 
object was to avoid the raising and low- 
ering of the sash a dozen times on a 
warm day in winter when sunshine and cold 
alternated frequently. I did not care to 
bother with the coldframes at all during the 
whole winter, for they were a considerable 
distance from the house, but owing to the 
mild winter I aired the frames occasionally 
to prevent the plants from rotting. In March 
I took off the matting and the sunlight soon 
caused the lettuce plants to thaw out and grow 
so that we had lettuce during March and 
April without any trouble and expense. 
This simple device will doubtless work 
better in a steady winter. Last winter, being 
the mildest on record, it was impossible to 
keep the plants dormant all the time. It is 
commonly said that lettuce should be grown 
without a check or it will fail, but while the 
quality of the lettuce was not of the very best, 
we found the experience satisfactory.
