ments found by the enumerators but 

 never recorded in any mailing list avail- 

 able to the trade. Nor is any informa- 

 tion available as to the number of names 

 on the census bureau's mailing list from 

 which no response was obtained. If the 

 mail-carriers were able to deliver the 

 letter containing the blanks there iq a 

 f«iir supposition that the establishments 

 still exist, although they failed to re- 

 port. 



Fuel Consumption. 



It is the supposition in the trade that 

 'he relationship between the fuel con- 

 sumption and the value of products was 

 what chiefly would interest the govern- 

 "lent and be the determining factor in 

 any restrictive action taken as the war 

 progressed. 



The census shows that 8,412 green- 



houses burned in the bad winter of 

 1917-18 274,444 tons of anthracite and 

 1,248,432 tons of bituminous, with small 

 quantities of coke, oil, wood and gas, 

 or about 1,500,000 tons of coal to heat 

 100,000,000 feet of ground covered by 

 glass, or about fifteen tons of coal to 

 each 1,000 square feet of glass reporting. 

 The reports regarding fertilizers and 

 insecticides consumed have not yet been 

 given out. 



LILIXTM HABRISII FOB EASTEB. 



I have some Harrisii lilies three or 

 four inches high which I keep at 50 

 degrees. Kindly tell me what tempera- 

 ture is required to bring them into flow- 

 er for Easter. C. B. — Minn. 



I would hold the lilies in their present 

 temperature for some time yet. They 



are a trifle early, but you should be able 

 to hold them jfor Easter. You should 

 be able to see and count the buds six 

 weeks before Easter, which would be 

 around March 6. Usually lilies in an 

 average night temperature of 60 de- 

 grees will flower within forty days of the 

 time when the buds show, but as Easter 

 1919 is late, a little less time may be 

 needed this year. Still, it is better to 

 have the plants open a little earlier 

 than needed, as in a cold house or cellar 

 they are easily held back after the first 

 flowers have opened, C, W.
