Thermostat should be used to control temperature however one 
thermostat will handle 4 Junior Cables or 2 Senior Cables, 
If further information is wanted send for free leaflet. 
We recommend Gro-Quick units for heating your hotbeds. The 
heavily insulated cables are buried as shown figure 5 page 6 and 
thermostat plugged into an ordinary household current outlet. 
Complete instructions are sent for installation and operation. 
The essentials for success are a steady uniform degree of heat 
and moisture. In colder climates it is well to bank up with soil 
around the outside of the frame to make it air tight. 
Heavy quilted pads can be used to cover sash at night to retain 
heat. 
PLANTING Tomato and pepper seed may be planted in three 
or four inch rows, spacing the seed about four to 
THE BEDS six to the inch. Planted in this manner one 
ounce will sow about ten to twelve feet of hot bed that is six feet 
wide. We suggest that the seed be treated with Semesan or Arasan 
before planting. If the plants ‘‘damp off’’ in the beds they may be 
sprayed with a solution of Semesan or Arasan as instructed on the 
package. Semesan listed on page 81. 
On pages 69 and 70 you will find suggestions regarding the 
watering and ventilation of the bed, also hardening off of the 
plants. 
Same directions as for the hotbed except 
COLD FRAMES that no pit is dug or heating material is 
used, In colder climates, plants cannot be started so early; wait 
until the sun gives more warmth. During extremely cold weather 
it is a good plan to cover with heavy mats or scatter straw over the 
sash to a depth of about one foot. This should be done each night 
or during cloudy weather, removing the straw during the sunlit 
hours.

One of our many labor saving gadgets. The wheels on long legs are spread out 
allowing the trough to lower within about 3 feet of the ground. Dry seed from the 
trays is dumped into the trough, then by turning the crank this is elevated and be- 
comes a sacking bin as shown. Note tag in each tray marking variety and lot 
number.
