If you don't need many plants, any shallow box of soil set in sunny 
window and daily watered will start your early plants just fine. 
"Happy New Year to All" 
Take a look on the next page at how T 
started my early Vegetables and Flower 
Seeds. Some Hot Bed, isn't it? Did the 
work fine though and only cost a few cents ; 
really just as good as the big ones Dad had 
made at the factory for the farm. 
I knocked the boards off an old box, 
nailed them together about two inches 
smaller all around than my glass frame and 
on top you see the boards are Z}/2 ft. high 
and taper down to 2 ft. at bottom on all 
sides, then when the glass frame is on the 
water and snow runs off fine. For the frame 
I used an old window sash ; so you see the 
whole business didn't cost hardly anything 
but it's just as good as the expensive ones. 
TRY IT! 
Grow your own plants of Cabbage, 
Cauliflower, Celery, Pepper, Tomato, Asters, 
Pansies, Petunia, Phlox, Salvia, Verbenas, 
or in fact any Vegetable or Flowers that 
you want early. Just sow seed in Hot Bed 
and transplant in open ground when danger 
of freezing is over. 
Boys and Girls, you can make $25 to 
$100 this spring growing plants of these 
Vegetables and Flowers and selling them to 
your neighbors at 15c to 25c per dozen. 
Try it — I'll give you any information you 
need if you write me. 
Yours truly,
