Mr. Frank Carek, of Lorain, Ohio, writes: 



"In regard to your patent LEAK-PROOF gutter, we can say it is there with 

 IV/'fK J^ the goods. It is all that we want; it does our work with great satisfaction 

 l^' M.\iV^> and is a good job. We put it all through the annex and it is tight and most 

 '~n t^j»i^ satisfactory." 



We are the patentees and sole manufacturers of this 



LEAK-PROOF gutter which is giving so much satisfaction.

pit, unless bottom heat is required. In 

 that case, I shall have to raise them. 

 Do you think that my plan will be 

 successful? Would a boiler heat such 

 a place from evening until morning with 

 no attention, using soft coal? Is bot- 

 tom heat necessary for successful grow- 

 ing of lettuce, rose and shrubbery cut- 

 tings? Would such a place, if arranged 

 so as to be ventilated, be too damp for 

 lettuce? Where can I get a book on 

 growing garden plants under glass? 



W. N. L.— O. 



The general plan suggested should 

 give good results. 



Lettuce can be grown to good advan- 

 tage without bottom heat, but for the 

 rooting of carnation, rose and other cut- 

 tings it is desirable. With proper ven- 

 tilation, lettuce can be grown in a pit 

 such as the one described. 



"Greenhouse Management," by L. R. 

 Taft, describes in detail the growing of 

 vegetable and flowering plants under 

 glass and gives directions for rooting 

 cuttings of various kinds. 



For use with soft coal, especially 

 if to be left for eight or ten hours at 

 night, a greenhouse boiler should have 

 a large fire pot and one should be se- 

 lected with a rating about twenty-five 

 per cent greater than the amount of ra- 

 diation needed. This is because the rat- 

 ing usually given is based upon the ca- 

 pacity of the boiler with hard coal. 

 Not only is the weight of hard coal per 

 cubic foot more than that of soft coal, 

 but it will generally furnish twenty-five 

 or thirty per cent more heating units. 



Ionia, Mich. — M. Wetterling has sold 

 20,000 pansy plants in the last three 

 weeks. Mr. Wetterling has been unusu- 

 ally successful with the growing of these 

 flowers. He grows them outdoors en- 

 tirely.
