LILIES. 



We have some Lilium Harrisii that are 

 three inches high in a house with a night 

 temperature of 56 degrees. Will they 

 be all right for Easter t If not, how 

 should they be treated? Our L. longi- 

 florum multiflorum are just breaking 

 through the soil. How should they be 

 treated to be had in bloom Decoration 

 dayt After the above named lilies show 

 buds how many days does it take them 

 to develop! J. W. B. 



The Lilium Harrisii that are three 

 inches high and in a night temperature 

 of 56 degrees will do very well where 

 tbey are for another three weeks. We 

 will suppose that they were well rooted 

 wlien brought in. They should make 

 good, steady growth in 56 degrees and 

 15 degrees higher in the daytime. Much 

 depends on the weather, but by the 

 middle of March you can tell if they will 

 need a higher temperature. 



Those lilies only just starting to grow 

 and intended for Decoration day should 

 bo kept quite cool, say 40 degrees at 

 night. There will be no forcing needed. 

 As the season advances your houses will 

 be warm and there is more care needed 

 in keeping them cool. In April and 

 May they come along very fast. Keep 

 them cool. 



The number of days from the time 

 you can count the buds to their opening 

 will depend on the temperature and 

 amount of sunshine we get. This year, 

 as Easter is late and we should expect 

 bright weather to help, four to five weeks 

 should develop the expanded blossoms.

LIFE OF PIPE. 



In ordinary greenhouse use what will 

 be the life of 4- inch cast-iron pipet 

 How long would wrought-iron pipe lastf 



W. W. T. 



It is a difficult thing to predict the 

 life of either cast or wrought-iron pipe 

 in heating plants. There is some differ- 

 ence in the qualities of iron from differ- 

 ent sources. There is also an advantage 

 in favor of cast-iron as a container so 

 far as length of life is concerned, every- 

 thing else being equal.

\ 



The one factor which more than any 

 other determines the length of life of 

 iron pipe used for carrying water, either 

 in a heating plant or under other con- 

 ditions, is the character of the mineral 

 salts which the water contains. In some 

 localities the water contains salts which 

 soon consume iron pipe, while in other 

 sections no such evil exists. The best 

 and safest plan under all circumstances 



is to use rain water for filling the heat- 

 ing plant, whether it be a hot water or 

 a steam plant. With rain water there 

 should be little or no scale or corrosion 

 and under such circumstances the length 

 of life of light weight 4-inch cast-iron 

 pipe should be thirty-five to fifty years 

 and probably twenty-five or thirty years 

 for the ordinary threaded maleable pipe, 

 possibly more. L. C. C.
