THE READERS' CORNER. 



G>acerning: Photographs. 



There is one matter to which I should 

 like to call the attention of the readers 

 of the Review, and especially of those 

 who have photographs taken. I would 

 also like to ask consideration of the mat- 

 ter of, as I think, marring the beauty of 

 a fine photograph of a house of roses, 

 carnations or other stock with employ- 

 ees and others in the same photograph. 

 Now, in my opinion, when a florist 

 wishes to show a specimen plant or a 

 fine house of something, people certain- 

 ly ought to be left out, or taken in a 

 separate picture. Not very long ago a 

 fine photograph of a house of carnations 

 was printed, which was almost wholly ob- 

 scured by men, women and children, 

 twelve in all, and it is seldom I find a 

 photograph of this kind but what there 

 are one or more persons in it. This may be 

 a peculiar notion of mine, and no doubt 

 I may run up against something hard, 

 but I certainly would like to know what 

 others think about it. N. B. Stover. 



PRESERVATLVES FOR BENCHES. 



Will it be of any advantage to cover 

 the bottoms of the beds, where I aim to 

 plant some mums and carnations, with a 

 coat of tarf Will it help to keep out 

 some of the little ants, bugs, etc., which 

 infest the soil so much here? Would I 

 get an^ bad effects from putting the 

 tar on the wood before laying the dirt 

 if T should let the tar get thoroughly 

 dry? G, W. T. 



With the tar put on new boards and 

 allowed to get perfectly dry it would 

 have no bad effects on the plants and 

 would preserve the wood, but would not 

 be congenial to the roots of the plants 

 when they reached the boards, which the 

 roots of all healthy and vigorous plants 

 are sure to do. I would much prefer to 

 give the surface of the boards a heavy 

 coat of crude petroleum. It will preserve 

 the boards better than the tar and there 

 will be not the slightest danger of any 

 injury to the roots, and it will quite 

 as effectively destroy any of ' ' the little 

 ants, bugs, etc." ' W. S. 



MOLINE, III.— The Tri-City Florists' 

 Club met June 7 with Wm. H. F. Knees,

 greenhouse 27x110 to be erected this 

 season by Mr. Knees.
