(Continued from Page 15.) fine crop of market in May lowed by" these and tomatoes put on the or. even in April. . At Pinehurst, N. C., I saw last December, three greenhouses grow ing cucumbers of the finest quality, that not only supplied the demand of the guests there, but were being shipped North at fine' prices. There are so many advantages in the South for winter forcing in greenhouses that it is amazing that our intelligent truckers have not taken it up and still keep on with the poor substi tute of cloth frames. We have the winter sunshine which they lack, and every one ex perienced, in culture under glass knows that sunshine counts for far more than artificial heat. Then, with heated greenhouses the gardener can grow many other crops than let tuce. Snap beans force quickly and easily in the greenhouse, for I have grown them for the boys at North Carolina College. Strawberries force easily when properly grown in pots in advance of the forcing, - and to matoes and radishes can be produced all winter. Then the frames that grow the fall lettuce can be used for cauliflower, which will pay far bet ter in the spring than lettuce. W. F. MASSEY.
