GLAZING. 

 I built a greenhouse Inst fall and the 

 putty is nearly all off on the outside 

 and much of it is out from under the 

 glass on the inside. It dries and crum- 

 bles like marble dust. What is the mat- 

 ter with the putty, or would candle wick 

 dipped jn white lead be better? 



J. H. H. 



The putty was probably of a poor 

 quality, either some adulterant having 

 1 ii substituted for whiting or some in- 

 ferior oils had been used in its make- 

 up. My plan is to gel the best putty 

 the local market affords; it need not 

 necessarily be of the purest grade; 

 then mix it with one-twelfth its part 

 by weight of Atlantic white lead, and 

 work in enough pure whiting to bring 

 it back to the desired consistency. The 

 white lead acts as a bond for the putty 

 and also causes it to adhere better to 

 both glass and wood. I do not approve 

 of candle wick dipped in lead, as it be- 

 comes too hard for general greenhouse 

 purposes; for ordinary skylights glazed 

 with very heavy glass it is very useful, 

 however. Henry TV. Gibbons. 



SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



Department of Plant Registration. 

 The Conard & Jones Company ask to 

 withdraw the name Leo XIII. as applied 

 to a new rose registered by them on July 

 30, 1903, and to substitute therefor that 

 of Sir Thomas Lipton, it having been as- 

 certained that a rose under the name of 

 Leo XIII was already in existence at the 

 time of registration. Any one knowing of 

 any reason against the registration, as 

 now applied for, under the name of Sir 

 Thomas Lipton, will please notify 

 promptly. TVm. J. Stewart, Sec'y. 



FIRE INSURANCE. 

 Ed. Florists' Review: — Is there a 

 mutual fire insurance company in ex- 

 istence, operated on plans after the style 

 of the Florists' Hail Association? We 

 are asked one and one-half per cent, $15 

 on $1,000 insurance, on greenhouses 

 heated by steam and hot water where 

 the rate on dwellings is $5 per $1,000 of 

 insurance. We do not see that the risk 

 on such greenhouses, with a night man 

 on duty, is so great as on dwellings 

 heated "by stoves and grates and lighted 

 by lamps or gas. Warrick Bros.
