OIL PRESERVES SASH-FRAMES.

 The woodwork of the hotbeds and 

 cold frames is also subject to decay. 

 Painting is expensive, and has to be 

 done over every year or two, and even 

 then is not fully efTicient. for paint 

 does not penetrate to all the small 

 cracks. The best preservative treat- 

 ment for woodwork exposed to the 

 weather, and in which the appearance 

 is Immaterial, is to impregnate the 

 wood itself with an oil. The use of 

 crude petroleum oil is urged by J. T. 

 Rosa, Jr., of the University of Missouri 

 College of Agriculture for preserving 

 sash-frames and hotbeds. If creosote 

 is used the fumes are liable to injure 

 growing plants in the close atmos- 

 phere of the hotbed, while the crude 

 oil is harmless in this respect. For 

 treating large numbers of sash frames 

 a shallow wooden pan about four by 

 seven feet is used. The new unpaint- 

 ed and unglazed frames are immersed 

 in the hot oil for a minute or two. For 

 treating a few frames and the wood- 

 work of the hotbed, apply the hot oil 

 liberally to the wood with a brush. The 

 oil is very penetrating, especially if 

 hot, though the wood which is to be

treated shoiihl also be thoroughly dry. 

 .\tter treatment the traiues should be 

 left several days in an airy place, so 

 that they will be dry enough to handle 

 and glaze for use on the beds. One 

 gallon of crude oil will treat about ten 

 standard hotbed sash, at a cost of only 

 a few cents. By this treatment the 

 lite of the frames will be lengthened 

 a number of years. If desired, a coal 

 of paint may be applied to treated 

 woodwork after the oil has penetrated 

 well. This is unnecessary except for 

 improving the appearances. A "drier" 

 is sometimes added to the hot oil bath 

 to hasten drying of treated woodwork, 

 but this is generally unnecessary. 



CHRISTMAS BOOKS. 

 Give Garden Books for Christmas 

 and give pleasure and Instruction 

 throughout the entire year, if your 

 friend loves flowers and gardens. 



Garden books de luxe are THE 

 BOOK OF THE PEONY, by Mrs. Ed- 

 ward Harding, and THE PRACTICAL 

 BOOK OF OUTDOOR ROSE GROW- 

 ING, by George Thomas, Jr. THE 

 PRACTICAL BOOK OF OUTDOOR 

 ROSE GROWING is the outcome of 

 years of co-operation between Its 

 author and the most famous experts, 

 in an effort to test and acclimate every 

 species of hardy rose in the temperate 

 regions of America. "The book one 

 must have," the Bulletin of the Garden 

 Club of America said of the first 

 edition. It has rapidly gone through 

 several editions, and the present edi- 

 tion is the fourth. Every Rose is listed, 

 described, and the cultural directions 

 clearly given. Almost every Rose is 

 illustrated on a beautiful colored plate, 

 from a photograph. There is nothing 

 omitted that could be of service or 

 pleasure to the lover of roses. 



THE BOOK OF THE PEONY is the 

 only book devoted entirely to the 

 Peony. Mrs. Harding traces its his- 

 tory, from its ancient glory as one of 

 the royal flowers of Japan and China, 

 through its introduction to Europe 

 during the reign of Greece, down 

 through the ages since to its present 

 popularity. She lists, describes and 

 illustrates on magnificent colored 

 plates, all of the notable kinds or 

 peony known today; gives full cultural 

 directions, and has produced a book of 

 which .Mrs. Francis King writes in the 

 Bulletin of the Garden Club of 

 America; "Do not miss this book, .the 

 book unrivalled among Its kind." 



You can secure these books from the 

 office of Horticulture. Price for de 

 luxe edition, $6.00 each with postage 

 added.
