A WATERPROOF fOT SAUCER. 



Kvciy plant grower and every pot 

 maker lias had repeated experiences to 

 prove the advantage of porous or un- 

 glazed pots over glazed ones. But Trhik- 

 a porous pot is an advantage a porous 

 saucer is equally as great a disadvan- 

 tage. Porous saucers w-ill not hold wa- 

 ter; they wet through, thus spoiling any 

 article of furniture upon which they hap- 

 pen to be placed. After attempting to 

 overcome these disadvantages by paints 

 and shellacs of various kinds, I finally 

 asked our pot maker to treat the in- 

 side of the pot saucers to a coat of 

 glaze, the same as is used for so-calleil 

 vitrified pipe. This was done and now 

 we have a saucer the outside appear- 

 ance of which is exactly like the pot, but 

 the inside has a non-corrosive water- 

 proof glaze. This solved the difficulty 

 and, believing that it is worth the at- 

 tention of pot makers, I take tiiis means 

 of bringing it to the attention of the 

 trade. I know it will be an improve- 

 ment welcomed by everyone wlio at- 

 tempts to grow potted plants in the liv- 

 ing room without the jardiniere. 



A COIL HEATER. 



I wish to ask a question with regard 

 to a coil heater in a box stove twenty 

 inches long. The coil is ';4-inch pipe, 

 one coil of four pipes on the bottom 

 and one on top. The cold water en 

 ters the bottom coil, goes to the to]i 

 coil and then to the 1%-inch coil undt-r 

 the propagating bed. Have air cocks 

 in the tiow pipe near the stove, at the 

 highest point. It works, but not right; 

 it is a regular kicker. There are no 

 headers, but return elbows in the coil. 



J. T. 



I believe the trouble can be eutirelv 

 overcome by using headers at each end 

 of the coil, instead of return bends. 

 The headers can be made up from 1- 

 inch T's with %-ineh center openings. 

 The %-inch pipes used to make up the 

 coils can be put together with long 

 screws. The return from the coil un- 

 der the bench should be taken into the 

 lower header of the heating coil and 

 the ri.ser out of the header at the up- 

 per end of thi; heating coil. The circu- 

 lation would also be quicker and the 

 heating more efBcient if headers were 

 arranged at each end of the radiation 

 coil under the bench, with the riser en- 

 tering at the far end. This should also 

 be til'-' highest point in the svstem.
