PIPING. 



In reply to the inquiry of K. A. J. the 

 diagram he submits shows eight lines of 

 one-inch hot water pipes in the house 

 18 feet wide. This arrangement will 

 not give the desired warmth. The pipes 

 should be at least two inch internal di- 

 ameter, but I should prefer to use ten 

 lines of such two-inch pipes. In the 

 house where the flue is used, five lines 

 of two-inch pipes in addition to the flue 

 will be necessary.

CHEAP CARNATIONS. 



We learn from a daily paper ' ' why 

 carnations are so much cheaper now 

 than they used to be. ' ' This is a re- 

 markable assumption in itself but the 

 reason is still more wonderful. Ac- 

 cording to the wise writer in this jour- 

 nal the reduction in cost is due to the 

 introduction of a support that keeps 

 the flowers ' ' out of the dust ' ' when 

 growing on the plant. The dust must 

 have been transferred to the "loft" 

 of the scribbler. 



THE ASTER BUG. 



Some five years ago we were so badly 

 pestered by the' aster bug that our crop 

 was almost an entire failure. The fol- 

 lowing year we put a liberal quantity of 

 tobacco dust into the ground at plant- 

 ing time with the result that we had 

 very few aster bugs that season. We 

 have been keeping up the practice ever 

 since with very satisfactory results.

Bulletin No. 81 of the Maryland 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, College 

 Park, Jill., is devoted to "Soils and Fer- 

 tilizers for Greenhouse Crops." It con- 

 tains some interesting records of results 

 from the use of various fertilizers on 

 plants growing under similar conditions 

 otherwise.
