to the cellar or other forcing 
place and beeded on 2 or 3 inches 
of loose soil on the floor. The 
clumps should be placed close to- 
gether, the spaces between the 
clumps filled with loose soil, and 
the crowns covered to the depth 
of about an inch. The soil should 
be moistened thoroughly and kept 
moist all the time, but never al- 
lowed to become drenched. For 
white shoots the light should be 
excluded. When forced in the 
greenhouse the space under the 
benches is utilized, and the light 
can be excluded by boarding up 
the sides or hanging old carpets, 
burlap, or canvas over the open- 
ings. 
the temperature needed 
For the first 10 days after the 
crowns are placed for forcing the 
temperature should be kept rath- 
er low, 45 to 50° F. After this 
period a temperature of 55 to 60° 
F- i-s most satisfactory, although a 
higher temperature will not be in- 
jurious. A temperature as high 
as 75 to 80 F. produces a rapid, 
soft growth, while a low tempera- 
ture produces a slow growth, but 
gives shoots of good quality. 
In about six weeks after bed- 
ding, the cutting can begin and 
will continue until the crowns are 
exhausted. As soon as the crowns 
become exhausted they should be 
removed and a new supply put in. 
With a little care in timing the 
bedding of the crowns, a contin- 
uous supply can be had all winter. 
America can ship 50 per cent 
more food this year if we are all 
50 per cent better Americans.
