The Weekly Florists' Review* 



393 



grow caroations in the same soil, but 

 use leas manure. Samples Nos. 4 and 

 5 are from pasture lands in the outskirts 

 of the city where I can get soil from 

 greenhouses by buying the land at the 

 rate of $500 per acre, S. S. B. 



Sample No. 1 is a very poor soil and 

 unsuited for either roses or carnations. 

 Sample No. 2 is also poor. Sample No. 

 3 is a real good soil for either purpose 

 and if composted properly, and about 

 one-fifth of decomposed cow manure add- 

 ed, is capable of producing high grade 

 stock. No. 4 is also a good soil, though 

 not nearly so good as No. 3. No. 5 

 18 a very poor soil and not worthy of be- 

 ing used for any greenhouse purpose ex- 

 cept possibly to make walks with. 1 am 

 satisfied that if you use No. 3 and handle 

 your stock skillfully you will have no 

 reason to complain of weak growth.

DUNNVILLE, ONT. 



Christmas trade in this locality was 

 away above the average especiallv in 

 the line of cut flowers. While the' dull 

 weather made the cut of carnations a 

 little light, yet prices were good and all 

 sold out clean-. Roses were of extra fine 

 quality and sold well. Potted plants 

 were not in as large a demand as last 

 season, but cut flowers were ahead. It is 

 safe to say this Christmas was 100 per 

 cent ahead of 1903.

 down a gas well and has a very fair

 feet of glass. 



PIPE FOR RADIATION. 



Please teU us the best kind of pipe 

 for use in heating greenhouses, galvan- 

 ized or black pipe. H. A. F. 



Galvanized pipe is seldom if ever used 

 for heating purposes. It is more ex- 

 pensive than black pipe, which is a 

 point in favor of black pipe. In addi- 

 tion to this the coating of tin and lead 

 used in galvanizing the pipe acts the 

 same as a coat of paint or as any other 

 covering to cut down the heating power 

 of the pipe. The black pipe will give 

 off more heat per unit of area than will 

 the galvanized pipe, and for that rea- 

 son, if for no other, its use would be 

 preferable. L. C. C.
