walks. You will need a good insecti- 

 cide witli which to keep the plants 

 clean, and lisht fumigation every ten 

 days will be a help. You must re- 

 member that the black fly will be very 

 persistent from this time on. 



If you haven't given your boilers an 

 ovorhauling. do it now. This is an 

 important matter in a year like this, 

 when coal Is scarce and high. You 

 can't expect to have the boilers run- 

 ning a 100 per cent perfect unless they 

 are in first-class shape at the begin- 

 ning of the season. Among other 

 ihings you should be careful to look 

 over the smoke pipes and replace any 

 which show signs of weak spots 

 caused by rust. Sometimes it is pos- 

 sible to take the pipes from several 

 boilers, pick out those which are in 

 fair condition, and put them together, 

 buying new pipes for the boiler which 

 is left. In this way you save yourself 

 considerable refitting and patching in 

 future years. Repair the grates if 

 necessary, and see that they are 

 adapted to the fuel which you will 

 have to burn this year. Of course, you 

 will clean out the flues carefully, and 

 if you have steam boilers, you should 

 take out the man holes and get as 

 much dirt off of the flues as is possible. 

 Finally, remove all scales from the in- 

 side of the boilers. Sometimes it is 

 allowed to remain on the bottom, but 

 this is a great mistake, as it f-irms a 

 crust which keeps the water away. 

 This part is exposed to the hottest fire, 

 and will burn and weaken until if high 

 pressure steam has to be carried it 

 may finally blow out. Of course, you 

 will not leave any melted clinkers in 

 the stationary grates. Nothing will 

 choke a fire quicker than having the 

 grates clogged, and the situation is al- 

 ways worse when a poor grade of fuel 

 is burned. 



When you fumigate the rose house 

 where cutting is being done, make a 

 point of cutting a little closely the 

 night before. The roses cut the fol- 

 lowing morning are sure to have some 

 odor of tobacco, but the smoke will not 

 |)enetratp to the buds left on the 

 plants.
