NEWS NOTES. 



Highland Falls, N. Y. — Stephen 

 Dombrowsky has accepted the posi- 

 tion of superintendent for J. P. Mor- 

 gan. 



New Haven, Conn. — Leroy D. Sperry, 

 an employee, has been charged 

 with forgery and theft from the F. S. 

 Piatt Co. He is held in bonds of 

 $2500. 



Lynn, Mass. — Edward Dwyer, flor- 

 ist, has brought suit against the street 

 railway for damages to the extent of 

 $1,000, which he claims was done to a 

 large willow in front of his house by 

 a balloon used in ascensions at Float- 

 ing Bridge Park. 



Tarentum, Pa., — The McWilliams 

 Floral Co. is a stock company re- 

 cently organized by G. A. McWil- 

 liams, formerly in business in Na- 

 trona, Pa. The company is operating 

 a range of houses of about 56,000 

 square feet of glass. 



Lenox, Mass. — John W. Pybus, on 

 Feb. 1st, will take the position of 

 head gardener at the new establish- 

 ment of W. N. Salisbury, Pittsfield, 

 Mass. He will still hold his position 

 as assistant secretary of the Lenox 

 Horticultural Society. 



Skowhegan, Me. — Two stray bullets 

 crashed into the greenhouse of F. G. 

 Danforth, Madison street, on Dec. 6th. 

 Again on the 7th another missile of 

 the same kind struck the chimney. 

 The authorities failed to locate the 

 source of the trouble. 



Rutherford, N. J. — Julius Roehrs 

 Company recently installed a pump 

 capable of supplying 100,000 gallons 

 of water every 24 hours. An Artesian 

 well 115 ft. in depth, 6 inch pipe, 

 furnishes an apparently inexhaustible 

 supply and the outfit has proved in- 

 valuable in this season of water 

 scarcity.

A SIMPLE RUST-PROOFING PRO- 

 CESS. 



Consul Albert Halstead, of Birming- 

 ham, calls attention to the announce- 

 ment by a British journal of a new 

 rust proofing process tor iron and steel. 

 The article is boiled in 1 gallon of 

 water to which is added 4 ounces of 

 phosphoric acid, and 1 ounce of iron 

 filings. A black noncorroding coating 

 is produced. 



This should be of interest to green- 

 house owners. If its application to 

 the iron supports of roof and benches 

 will prevent rusting off at the point of 

 contact with the soil it will be a great 

 advantage. While on the subject we 

 might give a word of caution — which, 

 however, will be superfluous to most 

 of our readers — regarding the use of 

 coal ashes in greenhouse walks where 

 they come in contact with iron bench 

 supports. They will eat through the 

 iron very rapidly.
