BENCHES. 



I would like to ask Mr. H. W. Gib- 

 bons why he advises S. H. E. M. to 

 build his benches next to the wall 

 plates instead of having two 69-inch 

 benches and three 18-inch walks in 

 each house. By this plan he would lose 

 six inches of bench room, but wouldn't 

 he have more blooms on account of 

 the gutter plates not shading, and 

 having a better circulation of air all 

 around the benches? B. J. P. 



The benefit of the arrangement sug- 

 gested by B. J. P. would be but slight, 

 and it would be subject to counterac- 

 tion by the increased range of shade 

 thrown by the gutters, which would 

 necessarily be built higher in order to 

 allow of ample head-room alon.g the 

 line of the side paths. Also, to a be- 

 ginner the loss of six inches of bench 

 room and the additional cost of con- 

 struction resulting from the higher 

 side walls, are items worthy of con- 

 sideration. HENRY W. GIBBONS.

Stocks are plentiful -and prospects 

 good. John Coombs reports a big 

 batch of advance orders. Geo. S. Os- 

 born endorses this and is well pleased 

 with returns since he launched out 

 with three excellent houses, together 

 with shed and office, to which he in- 

 tends adding. Mr. Osborn is the newly 

 elected president of the Connecticut 

 Horticultural Society, and is a hustler.
