PROPAGATING LILIES. 



Coming across, in my garden, a scale 

 from Lilium auratum, which was lit- 

 erally smothered with minute bulbs, 

 suggested a few notes on another 

 method of propagation. Scales, as 

 generally managed, and embedded in 

 orthodox fashion in very sandy soil, 

 usually produce one bulb, and on more 

 than one occasion I have discovered 

 discarded portions on the rubbish heap 

 making a gallant attempt to repro- 

 duce their species. Experience teaches 

 us that the scales should be laid hori- 

 zontally on the soil, and very lightly 

 covered with equal portions of sand 

 and fiber, and the cultural treatment 

 for the bulbs when formed is pre- 

 cisely the same as for those from 

 flowering stems. 



I understand that the Dutch propa- 

 gate their hyacinths by lacerating the 

 basal portion of large bulbs, which in- 

 duces a fine crop of young bulbs to 

 form, this may be termed express cul- 

 ture, as compared with the ordinary 

 and natural production of offsets. I 

 may mention that I experimented with 

 three liliums a couple of years ago, 

 namely, L. auratum, L. lancifolium 

 rubrum, and L. auratum rubro-vitta- 

 tum, in like manner, and, while the 

 original bulbs were destroyed, quite a 

 hundred bulbils were produced, the 

 lacerations being crowded. — Gardep-

CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



I have a Scotch marine boiler eight 

 feet long and forty-four inches in diame- 

 ter. It contains nineteen 3*4 -inch flues. 

 The large flue is twenty-four inches in 

 diameter and the grate is 24x44 inches. 

 How much 4-inch pipe will it supply with 

 hot water t P. C. A. 



From the dimensions given I judge 

 your boiler will supply heat for about 

 750 lineal feet of 4-ineh pipe. 



L. C. C. 



Franklin, Pa. — In a recent parade 

 of decorated vehicles, W. T. P.ell had a 

 very attractive turn-out, one of the 

 features being that the horse wore a 

 blanket of asters. 



Two Years in a Greenhouse ! 



SAI.AMANCA, N. Y., October 21, 19*5. 



MiNKKALIZKD RUBBER CO.. NEW YOKK. 



Gentlemen : — Send me 50 feet of hose, same as before. My greenhouses are 125 feet 

 long, with cement walks, and the Anchor Greenhouse Hose, which I purchased of you in 19' 3, 

 has been dragged over these walks everyday and is just commencing to give out. I am more 

 than pleased with it and can truthfully say it has outlasted any hose I ever bought before. 



Very truly yours, [Signed] W. L. FARQUHARSON.
