SHADING. 



We have a large new palm house or 

 conservatory glazed with clear glass, 

 and as we know it will be too bright and 

 glaring for palms and ferns during the 

 summer would like some suggestions as 

 to shading, and whether it is best to 

 apply it inside or out. Don't want to 

 use whitewash if can help it as it is a 

 beautiful building and is visited bj- many 

 people. The house is 90x30 and about 

 20 feet to ridge. • 'Subscriber. 



I know of nothing oetter lor shading 

 palm houses than white paint. We use 

 white lead and Eenzine mixed very thin 

 and no oil. It is strained through a 

 painter's strainer and applied to the 

 glass with a fine syringe or a painter's 

 broad brush. In using the brush do 

 not go back and forth with it, as the 

 benzine dries very fast and if the dou- 

 ble motion is used the application will 

 be too thick. 



We apply it outside as it is more con- 

 venient and the plants are not soiled 

 thereby. It will remain all summer 

 without renewing and when cold weather 

 comes it will peel off. Tlie only other 

 good shade of which I know is hangings 

 of cloth or shutters made to order to be 

 rolled up and down as required.
