This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ...is past. Figure 1 shows a simple tray which can be made from the lumber in a dry goods box. This tray should be kept in a room in which the temperature does not fall below 65 F. after the seeds are planted. It should be kept in front of a south window after the plants are up in order to give them as much sunlight as possible. The legs of the tray should be made the same height as the window sill. The seeds should be planted in rows 2" apart and the plants later thinned to 2" apart in each row. The plants, which are taken out in thinning, may be transplanted in other trays or boxes. A tray with outside dimensions of 22" x 26" is large enough to start about 100 plants. These plants may be transplanted, when large enough, to a cold frame and gradually hardened to the weather. Transplanting develops more hardy root systems and more thrifty plants are thus produced. The hotbed is the method used by a large gardener for starting his early plants. Two methods are used to furnish heat for a hotbed. One is to run steam pipes in an air space under the tray containing the plants. The other is to fill the pit below the soil with manure which ferments and supplies the necessary heat. Since the steam heating is only practicable when plants are raised on a large scale, the manure type of hotbed is the one usually used by small growers. Any style of glass sash may be used to cover a hotbed. One can often buy old sash in the neighborhood which will serve the purpose fairly well. Standard hotbed sash are 3' x 6'.
