Provide shade to keep the hot sun from 
withering and blighting the leaves. 
WATERING 
The best hours of the day to water plants 
are early morning or evening. The roots, 
however, may be watered at any time. One 
good soaking is better than many light sprink¬ 
lings. 
COLD-FRAME 
A cold-frame is a simple construction of 
boards for wintering young plants, such as 
cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, etc.; it is also 
useful to protect and harden off plants from 
the greenhouse or hotbed before fully expos¬ 
ing them in the open air. 
Select a dry, southern exposure and make a 
frame from four to six feet wide and as long 
as required. The back should be fourteen to 
eighteen inches high and the front eight to 
twelve, with a cross-tie every three feet. The 
frame may be covered with sash or cloth. 
Seeds of the vegetables to be wintered, sown 
in the open border early in September, will 
be ready to plant in cold-frames about the last 
of October. The soil should be well prepared 
and smoothly raked before planting. Admit 
air freely on pleasant days, but keep the frame 
closed in severe weather.
