Greenhouse Crops «, Higher fuel cost, lower returns, and flower diseases that attack the vegetable crops are the major problems of vegetable production under glass that a florist is apt to encounter. On the other hand, the vegetables require less labor than the flow* ers. Important greenhouse crops are tomatoes, leaf lettuce, cucumbers, radishs, together with beet greens and bunching onions. Cucumbers and radishes, however, because of their low vitamin and food value, are now classed as unessential vegetables and their production is not recommended. r Lettuce, beet, onion, and radish seed is usually sown in September to February or April for winter and spring crops. Tomatoes, the most important greenhouse vegetable, are best sown in November or December for a spring crop. The lettuce, beets anjl onions are the most satisfactory winter greenhouse crops.

"Venomous serpents are equipped with fangs primarily for the purpose of killing their prey," says Mr. Bogert, who has investigated the habits of American, African, Austraian and Asiatic reptiles. "Ordinarily snakes venture forth from their seclusion only to mate or to feed. They do not wander about aimlessly as was formerly thought. "If a snake has fangs it is venomous," he continues. "No other single character provides a reliable means of distinguishing harmless snakes from Venomous snakes. All rattlesnakes are venomous, of course, but many snakes relalfed to the cobras look superficially like harmless serpents."
