Set B. — Thi^ size suitable for dwarf French beans, broad beans, scarlet runners, 

 dahlias, carnations, cannas, closeas, begonias, etc. By keeping these sheltered till 

 June ist or so splendid results can be obtained. 



Set C. — This size is especially useful for forcing on early rows of strawberries for 

 first early potatoes, outdoor tomatoes, dahlias, as well as for protecting tender tea roses 

 from spring frosts and cutting winds. 



Seed Raisers. — This size enables one to cover a lot of space and is suitable for 

 protecting and bringing on early young and tender seedlings, which can thus be placed 

 in their permanent places a month or six weeks in advance of unprotected plants. 

 Such plants as asters, phlox drummondi, lobelias, nemesias, salpiglossis, portulaca, 

 and scores of others will benefit enormously by being planted out early in their perma- 

 nent places and kept under the cover of glass till they get too big. " Ventilation can 

 be easily arranged by leaving small spaces between each Cloche and by opening or 

 closing the ends with a spare glass or board. 



Pigmy Size. — This size fills a want every gardener has so often longed for. Many 

 minute seeds such as poppies, leptosiphon, portulaca — in fact, nearly all the lovely 

 hardv annuals cannot be planted till the end of March or early April, as the spring 

 frosts and beating rains destroy and rot the seeds. By using the pigmy size freely 

 most seeds can be safely sown in rows from February onwards and kept carefully 

 covered with pigmies till nice weather sets in in April. 



By this means an extra six wee ks to two months of growth is secured before the 

 real growing weather sets in. and the plants consequently make lots of roots and become 

 very vigorous if well thinned out in April. Hardy annuals should never be left nearer 

 than three inches apart — six inches is even better — they can then develop more fully. 

 Always pinch back once or twice.

Practical Illustrations of the Value of the Chase Continuous Cloche. 



No. 1 Test.— Mr. M— of 12, Cavendish Road, St. John's Wood, London, sowed sweet 

 peas on September 28th, 1913, and protected same with Chase Cloches. Result 

 March, 1914. The plants have wintered splendidly despite London atmosphere and 

 are now growing vigorously — the plants are strong and very sturdy. 



No. 2 Test.— On February 14th, 1914, Mr. M— at same address, sowed seeds of 

 Leptosiphon Hybridus, and Iceland poppies on a well-prepared seed bed with a fine 

 tilth covering the seeds very lightly with a sprinkling of mould. Half the bed was 

 covered with Chase Cloches — the' other part was left exposed. Heavy rains fell 

 between February 14th and 28th — the uncovered portion of the bed was saturated 

 and plastered down whilst the covered portion retained its fine crumbling tilth. 

 February 28th the covered seedlings began to appear — March 5th all the covered 

 seedlings were up despite a cool fortnight. March 5th not a single seed was observable 

 on the uncovered section. The soiJ appears too sodden and beaten down to allow the 

 seedlings to germinate at present, if at all.
