The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



September 18, 1902. 



PAINTING BOILERS. 



We are changing the position of two 

 25-H. P. tubular steam boilers. One of 

 these has been in use about three years 

 and the other seven years. Would it be 

 of any advantage to give them a coat of 

 paint before enclosing them in the brick- 

 work? If so, please state what kind of 

 paint you consider most desirable for 

 the purpose. 



What is the Ijest mixture to apply to 

 rusty steam pipes? H. L. J. 



In reply to H. L. J., the boilers should 

 be well brushed oft" on the outside with 

 a wire or other stiff brush and be 

 painted with a coat of red lead and raw 

 linseed oil before resetting. The rusty 

 heating pipes should be well brushed 

 with a stiff steel wire brush, in order 

 to remove the scales of rust, and then 

 with a stift" dusting brush to remove the 

 fine coating of rust dust. They should 

 then receive a coat of red lead and raw 

 linseed oil, well brushed on, after which, 

 if it should be desired, give them a coat 

 of lamp black and lead for a more pleas- 

 ant appearance than red lead. Red lead 

 is the best preventive of future oxidi- 

 zation. Henry W. Gibbons.

SAVING ASTER SEED. 



Replying to the inquiry regarding 

 method of gathering and curing aster 

 seed, the practice is to save seed from 

 only the most perfect flowers and to cut 

 the heads containing the seed before they 

 are fully ripened. Tliey are then allowed 

 to thoroughly dry out in an airy room 

 without tire heat, Ijeing laid thinly on 

 sheets of paper. Old newspapers answer 

 verv well. R. E. M. 



WILD SMILAX. 



It appears that Mr. A. C. Oelschig, of 

 Savannah, Ga., was the first to note the 

 commercial value of the southern wild 

 smilax, and was the first shipper of 

 same, starting some five years before 

 any other southern shipper. 



The autumn catalogue of bulbs, seeds 

 and florists' supplies recently issued by 

 W.W. Barnard & Co., Chicago, has a very 

 attractive half-tone cut on the title page 

 showing a little girl in an artistically 

 arranged group of lilies and decorative 

 plants. The list of stock offered is very 

 full and complete. 



The autumn wholesale catalogue of 

 bulbs and plants of the Clueas & Bod- 

 dington Co., New York, has been issued. 

 It lists a full line of stock, and is very 

 attractively illustrated. A half-tone en- 

 graving of the new building occupied by 

 the firm indicates that their business is 

 expanding very rapidly. 



Syracuse, N. Y. — A large party of 

 Utiea florists visited the city September 

 10 apd attended the state fair. They 

 played a bowling match in the evening 

 with the local florists. 



Stevens Point. Wis. — Chas. Helm is 

 adding a large new greenhouse to his 

 plant. 



WiNNEPEG. JIan. — The -recent annual 

 exhibition of the Manitoba Horticultiiral 

 Society was a notable success.
