In most cases Florists do not have a perfect circulation in their heating sys- 

 tems, which means an extra expenditure for fuel. By placing injthe system a 



MOREHEAD STEAM TRAP 



IT GIVES A PERFECT CIRCULATION. 



Mt. Clemens, Mich. 



We are grateful to the in- 

 ventor, Mr. John Morehead, for 

 so perfect an article as the 

 Morehead Automatic Steam 

 Trap for returning the con- 

 densation direct back to boiler. 

 We have eight now in use — 

 four of which were in use for 

 five years, and the last four, 

 which are an improvement 

 on the first, are highly 

 commendable for any person in 

 need of traps ; we certainly rec- 

 ommend them for doing the 

 work satisfactorily.

It affords us much pleasure 

 to bear testimony to the effi- 

 cient qualities of the Morehead 

 Steam Trap ; it has now been 

 in use five years, during which 

 time it has not cost one cent 

 or has it been out of repair-. 

 It is easily installed, does all 

 the work and keeps the pipes 

 well drained from two forty 

 horse-power boilers, heating 

 over twenty-five thousand feet 

 of glass, and returns all con- 

 densation direct to boiler.

It makes no difference whether the boiler is below or above the heating coils.

CHICKENiMANURE. 



Will you kindly tell us how- we can 

 use chicken manure to best advantage in 

 the greenhouse? J. A. S. 



Chicken manure is so much strongfr 

 than ordinary farm yard manure that it 

 must be used with caution and particu- 

 larly so when applied to greenhouse 

 crops. To obtain good results from its 

 use. it should be composted with at least 

 twelve times its bulk of good, fresh loam 

 and allowed to lie until decomposition is 

 well advanced, when it should be turned 

 over a few times at intervals of ten days. 

 This makes an excellent top dressing for 

 either roses or carnations, but it must 

 not be used as a mulch. Containing 

 strong caustic properties, it is very un- 

 safe to use in potting or planting soil, 

 even when thus diluted. When used for 

 this purpose half this strength would be 

 safer. Rises. 



EUCHARIS GRANDIFLORA. 



A correspondent of the Gardener's 

 Chronicle sends a photograph showing a 

 group of fine plants of Eucharis grandi- 

 flora and writes as follows: "The 

 plants are never allowed to dry off, as is 

 the practice with some cultivators. They 

 always stand over a hot-water tank, so 

 that they have abundance of atmospheric 

 moisture, to which I believe our success 

 is in a great measure due. We are never 

 for long periods without eucharis flow- 

 ers. One of the plants in the photograph 

 had twenty-two flower-spikes, and some 

 of the leaves are about two feet six 

 inches long and eight inches across. ' '
