PIPING. 



ily plan for piping a grecnliouse is the 

 upliill sy.steiu foi' hot water, but there is 

 a party here who argues that this is 

 wrong and wants me to pipe it with all 

 the pipes running down hill. Which is 

 right ■; E. P.. T. 



Both the up hill and down hill systems 

 are in use for hot water heating. The 

 up hill system, i. e., an arrangement 

 which makes the highest point in the 

 riser at the most distant point in the 

 .system, is most commonly employed. It 

 is a slightly more efficient system than 

 the other, as it places a heavier column 

 of water upon the boiler and at the same 

 time causes the water to become some- 

 what hotter, especially at the far end 

 of the run than in the down hill system.

MIGNONETTE. 



A. Hemsley, writing in the Gardeners' 

 Chronicle, says that mignonette when 

 well grown is one of the continuously 

 salable market plants. Machet is now 

 the general favorite for pot culture, and 

 some growers also use tliis for providing 

 flowers for cutting ; but he has found 

 Mhnorin's Grandiflora more satisfactory 

 for planting out, the spikes being close 

 and compact and very sweet-scented. It 

 is not always that the true varieties can 

 be obtained. Jlost growers select and save 

 their own seed, but when buying it will 

 pay better to get seed from the most 

 reliable source, even if the price is much 

 higher. 



Bruxnee, Tex. — T. F. Hudson, pro- 

 prietor of the Bryn Mawr Nursery, re- 

 ports trade increasing to such an extent 

 that additional facilities will be required 

 and is erecting two new gi'eenhouses 'Zix 

 140. with steam heat. He will grow car- 

 nations and roses in them.

EVERLASTING FLOWERS. 



In judging on everlasting flowers 

 (dried) would grasses properly be 

 classed as everlastings? If not would 

 they disqualify the bouquet containing 

 them from competition? Sigma. 



The term "everlasting" is generally as- 

 sociated with such flowers as helichry- 

 sum, statice, gnaphalium, etc. The.se 

 flowers need no special treatment to ena- 

 ble them to keep for years. They, with a 

 few other so-called everlastings, are 

 bleached and dyed in various colors, but 

 that does not make them any more ever- 

 lasting. The pampas grass plumes, or 

 any of our nature grasses that will keep 

 naturally without any artificial prepara- 

 tion, are as much everlasting flowers as 

 any of them and most decidedly can be 

 used in a bouquet for competition where 

 a premiuiu is ofi'ered for everlastings, A 

 bouquet of everlasting flowers without 

 grasses, if restricted to our native ever- 

 lastings, would be very scant. What I 

 mean by artificial preparation would be 

 such as fern fronds preserved, because 

 they are not naturally lasting unless pre- 

 served between paper or by cold storage, 

 etc.. and that would not do. But any 

 flower that keeps naturally in good con- 

 dition when dry is classed as an ever- 

 lasting flower. W. S.
