YOU CAN BUILD THIS COLD ERAME 





SIT ON BRICK-DEED Sm 
BED OF SAND AND ASH>-.* 
A cold frame is a must for every amateur gardener. It’s a 
glass topped box set in or upon the ground which, wh‘le pro- 
tecting the contents from wind and frost, is heated by the sun 
in the daytime. This heat may be retained at night by a mat 
covering. Locate in a sheltered place where it will be protected 
from north and northwest winds. Placed to receive southern 
and eastern exposure it will receive the maximum heat and 
light. SOIL: For growing more mature plants, fertility is 
necessary but for starting seed and maturing seedlings a rich 
soil is a detriment. A well developed plant usually thrives in 
rich soil which is liable to burn the roots of younger plants. 
Whatever the use, the soil must drain well at all times. Mix 
sand or ashes in the soil to make it break easily when com- 
pacted, while damp, into a ball. COVERING: A mat made or 
an old rug or quilt is ideal for covering on sudden changes or 
cold nights, late in spring. Tie it down securely but be sure 
and remove it during the day.
