You'll find a hotbed or a cold-frame of great value to get an early season start 
for tender flowers and vegetables when planting these seedlings pr plants out¬ 
doors would be dangerous because of frosts. In selecting a place to locate your 
hotbed or cold-frame, be sure to pick one that is well drained, and preferably a 
spot that is protected from north and northwest winds. If it hos a 
eastern exposure it will receive a maximum of light and heat. 
While the permanent hotbed usually is lined with concrete, one with 
lining will prove entirely satisfactory. The pit should be 24 inches deep with 
of manure 20 inches deep, on top of which is a 4-inch covering of good 
soil, the top of the latter being ot ground level. Over this is ploeed o frame 
superstructure on the top of which is a glass sash. The- manure used in the hotbed 
should be one-third straw. Be sure manure bed is thoroughly tramped down. 
A cold-frame is really the superstructure of a hotbed placed directly over the 
soil and, while without the bottom heat and growth-producing qualities the 
manure bed in the hotbed provides, protect seedlings and tender growing plants 
from injury until temperatures outdoors moderate.
