Many who would gladly raise early veg
etables for their own garden', or for sale,
are dctered by tho oost of tlio glass sashes.
Those who cannot or think they cannot af
ford tlio outlay for glass, often ask us if
thero is any substitute T If tho question Im
plies a complete substitute, we must any, no!
Still thcro nro methods by which tho quant
ity of glass required may be materially lest
encd. In the hot-bed wo etiiteayor to hast
en tho growth of plants by tho uid of heat;
this answers admirably so long as thero Is a
correspondingly amount uf light, but if tho
light is essentially illnilnlsbcd,an linhealth
ly growth will follow. All of the cloth
substitutes for glass cut oil so much light as
to render it impossible to grow good plants
under them. It is found far better to give
tho plants full light every other day than to
keep tlicni constantly in the Imperfect light
afforded by any substitute for glass. A
stillicient number of light shutters are pre
pared of tho exact size of the sashes; bass
wood is preferred, but whuleycr the mater
ial, they should be tight and well secured
against warping by battens. These shut
ters aie put upon tho hot-bod frame, alter
nating with the enshes; tho position is care
fully changed every day,so (hat those plants
which had one day lull light under the
glass, will pass thojicxt day in Iho diffused
light unler the shutters, and so on in regu
lar alternation. It is well to havoasiiili-
cicnt number of shutters to allow the sashis
to bo covered during cool night.
A good method Is to stitch together, on a
sowing lunching, two widths of sheeting nl
inch a length us to bo n few inches longer
than a four sasli bed; hem the hedges and
iew small brass rings on nt every fifteen
