HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
VEGETABLES FOR GREENHOUSE CULTURE 
TN ADDITION to the kinds described on preceding 
pages, the very much larger space available in green- 
houses makes possible the cultivation of larger growing 
plants such as cucumbers, melons, and tomatoes. Cauli- 
flower is also a profitable greenhouse crop, grown on side 
benches, as is parsley, a few roots of which will furnish 
garnishing all winter. 
In the greenhouse the heat is under absolute control 
and by partitioning the house, cool season crops as well 
as those requiring a higher temperature may be enjoyed 
at one and the same time. But do not attempt to grow 
radish, lettuce, spinach, and beets side by side with beans 
and tomatoes. The average night temperature required 
by the latter is sixty-five degrees, whereas the former 
“cool season” crops thrive best under sixty degrees. 
While experience is the most dependable guide in grow- 
ing vegetables in the greenhouse, the following table will 
help the beginner to start right:
