Chapter VI: Frames and Lights


Excerpt: It will be seen that this frame is very shallow, and very little higher at the back than the front. This design is the outcome of generations of experience. All obstructions to light are eliminated as far as possible; the plants are grown near the glass, and conse­quently they become as sturdy as when grown in the open.

Chapter V: Manure

This, known as "long manure," should be brought into the garden in very fresh condition. There should be no peat, sawdust, shavings, or rubbish mixed with it.
