Bulletin Of The New Hampshire College Agricultural Experiment Station 1899

Excerpt from Bulletin of the New Hampshire College Agricultural Experiment Station, 1899: Numbers 60 to 68 and Eleventh Annual Report From our experience with the above named varieties, I be lieve we can depend upon almost any variety that is desirable out of doors, to be equally valuable under glass. Moreover, if proper heat, moisture, and a rich soil be given, a crop will mature in the greenhouse in a shorter time than in the garden. In the forcing-house with the exception of light we can have almost ideal conditions. With the use of the electric light, even the cloudy weather of winter can be overcome to a degree. For other varieties of sweet corn, we would ask the reader to consult bulletin No. 51. Two not in the test, which we believe are worthy of consideration for growing under glass are Early Beverly and Eastman's Early. Both were early and desirable in the garden. If sweet corn proves to be a successful forcing-house cr0p, doubtless as with the muskmelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., we can in a few years develop varieties that will be better adapted for this purpose than any of our present ones.
