The Weekly Florists' Review. 



373 



cent of the gardeners wanted are ex- 

 pected to either superintend, or per- 

 sonally care for cows and chickens. 

 "We cut according to our cloth." C. 

 G. must explain to his employer that 

 extra help must be given (especially 

 in busy seasons) for the extra burden 

 incurred. If he is disposed to give 

 it well and good, if not he will have 

 to content himself if he finds his place 

 is otherwise not in so good shape as 

 it used to be. 



In this locality this is strictly the 

 gardeners' business (if no farmer is 

 kept on the place). The coachmen 

 migrate to the city with the family 

 in winter, and not only the cow, but 

 the whole place is left in the garden- 

 er's hands. Again the coachman is 

 summoned at all times, and as cows 

 and chickens require regular attention 

 this is beyond his power. No coach- 

 man, to our knowledge, attends to this 

 where a gardener is kept. J. T. S. 



Tarrytown, N. Y. 



BOATING, NOT « BOWLING." 



In referring to the beauties of De- 

 troit, Mr. Scott wrote, "What city has 

 such boating facilities," and the prin- 

 ter made it read "bowling." In justice 

 to Mr. Scott and his "glass arm" we 

 make this correction lest it might 

 be imagined that his thoughts dwell 

 entirely upon the alleys. The printer 

 admits that the word "bowling" has 

 been stereotyped and whenever an ob- 

 secure word is found one of these 

 stereos is put in, so our readers must 

 not be surprised if some time we print 

 instructions as to the propagation and 

 ■cultivation of "bowling." It might 

 well be said that it is propagated with 

 the greatest ease by cuttings from the 

 breaks of the current year and that 

 the young plants start off very freely 

 and promise a fine show of bloom in 

 August but the blooms generally blast 

 just when they are most needed.

Greenhouse Woodwork 



Open-air-dried Cypress Lumber is more durable, and better suited to Green- 

 house conditions than kiln-dried stock. But you cannot get it from those 

 that are engaged in the business in a small way — even though their entire 

 business is confined t > greenhouse material — for it take;, a long time for the 

 lumber to thoroughly dry and this means an investment in lumber that only 

 those of large capital :an make. The only way to have air-dried lumber is 

 to buy green lumber and hold it until it dries. Those that order dry lum- 

 ber from the producers of Cypress get kiln-dried stock. It is cheaper for 

 them to kiln-dry than to hold the stock long enough to season it in the open 

 air. We carry a large stock and fill all orders with open-air-dried Cypress 

 clear of knots, sap and all other defects.
