Notes from New England 
Lettuce Under Glass. —New England 
market gardeners who grow lettuce un¬ 
der glass are planning for another season 
in competition with the Iceberg lettuce 
of California, and are hoping for the de¬ 
velopment of methods whereby they can 
meet this competition, at least in certain 
seasons. Inquiry has been made as to 
the kinds of lettuce being grown. In East¬ 
ern Massacusetts Kittenger’s Belmont is 
the variety most commonly used at the 
present time. This is for the Winter let¬ 
tuce. Iu the Spring a last planting is 
made of May King. It cannot be said, 
however, that the perfect lettuce for New 
England conditions has been developed. 
Many experiments are being made at the 
Market Gardeners’ Experimental Station, 
and there are hopes that a lettuce will be 
found eventually that will make as hard, 
solid heads as Iceberg. The field station, 
by the way, is being moved from Lexing¬ 
ton, where it was established several 
years ago, to Waltham. The greenhouses 
at Lexington have been sold to a florist 
and new greenhouses will be put up a 
little later on at the Waltham site. The 
change will be a great convenience to 
market gardeners, as Waltham is very 
accessible. A fine piece of ground comes 
as a legacy, and from now on the field 
station will be able to do more than ever 
before in the way of assisting farmers and 
commercial vegetable growers. See Fig. 
587. 
Storing Dahlia Roots. — Dahlia 
tubers are irot difficult to keep through 
the Winter if a little care is used. They 
should be placed in boxes in a corner of 
the cellar where the temperature can be 
kept as near as possible to 48 degrees. 
It is not advisable to cover them with 
sand or earth, but one or two layers of 
burlap may be placed over them. They 
will need examination from time to time 
during the Winter. If found to be shriv¬ 
eling they should be moistened by means 
of the watering pot. If, on the other hand, 
they are found to be sweating, less cov¬ 
ering should be given. Commercial grow¬ 
ers often begin cutting up the clumps at 
once. Of course the tubers can be kept 
in a much smaller space after they have 
been divided, but they remain in * better 
condition in the ordinary cellar when the 
clumps are left undisturbed. This is not 
an arbitrary rule, however. Some Dah¬ 
lias make very large clumps, and it may 
be advisable to cut them through once or 
twice. Of course, it is most important in 
all the work of digging and storing Dah¬ 
lias, to remember that the necks of the 
tubers must not be broken. 
Fall Planting of Roses. —There is 
much discussion right now about the ad¬ 
visability of planting roses in the Fall, 
especially the somewhat tender Hybrid 
Teas. Many experienced growers have 
found within the past two or three years 
that Fall planting has given better suc¬ 
cess than Spring planting, and amateurs 
are beginning to adopt the plan. Appar¬ 
ently the roses winter better in the 
ground than when they are dug and 
stored in great warehouses until Spring. 
Plants which are to be set out early in 
the Spring before growth starts must 
necessarily be dug the season before, and 
sometimes they suffer during this period 
of storage. Roses to be set out in the 
Fall are not delivered until they have be¬ 
come dormant, which means that they 
may be received very late. If the ground 
begins to freeze it may be necessary to 
cover the beds where the roses are to go 
with manure, leaves or hay, to keep the 
frost out. After the plants have been 
set, earth should be heaped up around 
them to the height of a foot or more. If 
conditions are not very favorable, the 
plants may be almost buried and then 
reset in the Spring. Garden makers who 
have had difficulty with Spring-set roses 
may find it worth while to experiment 
with Fall planting. 
Continuous Nests. —The continuous 
form of nest has given greater satisfac¬ 
tion than any kind which I have had in 
the henhouse. I mean by this, satisfac¬ 
tion to the owner, although, so far as I 
have been able to observe, the hens have 
liked this kind of nest equally well. The 
illustration on previous page was not made 
in my henhouse, but illustrates the type. 
There is an opening at each end, and 
when the front board is lowered the whole 
interior is revealed. Plenty of hay is 
used, and the hens fashion the nests to 
suit themselves, changing them when they 
like. There is practically no quarreling, 
and very few broken eggs. And the 
cleaning of such nest is the work of only 
a few moments. 
Drying Beans. —It is a common plan 
in this section to stack up beans on 
poles in the garden until they become 
well dried off. I saw an interesting vari¬ 
ation of this plan the other day. The 
garden had a long stretch of elevated ir¬ 
rigation pipe of the Skinner system type, 
and the beans, tied together in bunches, 
were suspended from this pipe, where the 
sun and air could play over and through 
them. In another garden there was a 
stack of beans on a pole with a straw 
overcoat to protect them. Evidently the 
owner had had his beans damaged by long 
continued rains in past years, and this 
simple plan of draping straw over the 
stack gave complete protection. See Figs. 
584 and 5S6. e. i. Farrington.
