Union County Agricultural Agent A well constructed coldframe is a joy to any gardener at this time of the year, for all anxiety about half-hardy plants can be quickly dispelled when such material is safely tucked away for the winter In the frame. The gardener who does not have a comirame out is planning 10 build one would do well to give more thought to selecting a loca tion. Preferably, the frame should be facing south with some protec tion from the cold northerly winds. Although coldframes facing east, west or even north sometimes giv satisfactory service, they need more protection than those facing south. A coldframe 18 inches to two feet deep, well banked, will bring most half-hardy material through an ordinary winter without any losses.

A glass sash is the best covering, although glass substitute inay also be used. A straw mat or other covering should be placed over the glass on very cold nights. Plants should be set into the frame as close as possible and the roots carefully covered and given plenty of water. Cut the tops off if necessary. Leave the sash off the frame until the ground starts to freeze, and put it on after the first heavy frost.

It is generally advisable to give plants in a frame air any day when the sun is shining brightly, even if it is rather cold. Another type of coldframe can be planted to rather tender bulbs. Simply bank the frame well, fill it with leaves after the bulbs are planted and place the sash over them. Montbretias, Gladioli and some of the Amaryllis can be grown in the open with this protection and left in the ground from year to year. Many of the Cape bulbs which require fall planting can be kept successfully in such a frame.

Simply place a frame over the planting, fill with dry leaves to a depth of eight to 10 inches to keep the soil from freezing and puf on the sash. Further information on construction of hotbeds and coldframes can be had by requesting Bulletin 1743, free on request to Agricul tural Agent, Court House, Eliza beth 4, New Jersey.
