CEMENT COATING FOR BENCHES. 



I should like to have your opinion on 

 the feasibility of using a coat of ce- 

 ment, perhaps 3 or 4 to 1, about one- 

 fourth inch thick, on the bottom boards 

 of a wooden bench for a preservative. 

 Drainage would have to be provided for 

 by holes through it. Would not this

keep the boards dry and thus prevent 

 them from rotting? 



Do you know whether experience 

 would justify using creosote prepara- 

 tions for the same purpose? Would you 

 consider either worth while and woCld 

 the creosote be injurious to plant life? 



L. E. S.— Mich. 



The Review never has heard of coat- 

 ing greenhouse benches with cement. 

 Concrete tables, monolithic or construct- 

 ed of movable parts, are quite common 

 in the trade. If any reader has used 

 benches made of wood covered with a 

 cement wash as a preservative. The Re- 

 view would be glad to publish a letter 

 about them. 



A large number of growers have ex- 

 perimented with the use of wood pre- 

 servatives. All those containing creo- 

 sote are generally considered as injuri- 

 out to plant life, though here and there 

 a grower insists that he has seen no 

 harmful effects. It is the general cus- 

 tom to build greenhouse benches of 

 pecky cypress, the lasting qualities of 

 which are well known. Such benches, 

 built of 1x6 pecky cypress boards, of 

 which one must be careful not to buy 

 random lengths, with 4x4 posts properly 

 braced and set on a solid foundation, 

 will last for many years if given proper 

 treatment. Whenever the benches are 

 empty, before refilling, all (he old soil 

 should be washed out, the bench per- 

 mitted to dry and then coated thor- 

 oughly with a wash of hot lime.
