HOTBEDS 
If you want to produce earlier vegetables and flowers than your neighbor, make a hotbed. 
It should be started any time after February 15th. The hotbed consists of a subframe, which 
extends 15 to 20 inches beneath the soil, depending upon the climate, and a top frame which 
slopes down from 138 inches to 12 inches towards the south. This is covered with a glass sash, which 
keeps in the heat. These come in standard size, 3x6 feet. The most commonly used material for 
producing heat is fresh horse manure.Two parts of it mixed with one part of litter, consisting of 
either leaves or straw will prevent the manure from getting hot too suddenly or not heating at all. 
Before putting it in the trame it should be piled outdoors in heaps. As long as it steams it should 
be turned over every two or three days. This should be repeated until the manure steams only 
every other day. Then a 5 or 6 inch layer of manure should be placed evenly in the pit, and should 
be tramped down firmly. On top of this comes a mass of 4 to 6 inches of soil, which has not been 
frozen. A careful gardener puts some litter or manure on the sides of the frame also, extending 
to the top. By doing so he helps to maintain the temperature within. 
Three things are necessary for success with a hotbed. Regular watering, timely ventilation 
and frequent weeding. Never sow seeds or set in plants before ‘the temperature has settled down 
to 90 degrees or less.

PRICE’S SEEDS 

Cold Frames and Seed Flats 
After plants have reached the size that makes removing from the hotbed necessary they may 
be transplanted into the coldframe, before being set in the open ground. The coldframe is really 
a hotbed minus the heat, and for that reason need not have a sub- frame. 
Those who have no room for either hotbed or coldframe may still “‘beat the neighbor to it”’ 
with the help of a seed flat and a sunny kitchen window. A seed flat is a shallow box, about 3 or 
4 inches deep. |
