GREENHOUSE PAINT. 



The Lord & Burnham Co. has made 

 a long series of exhaustive experiments 

 with painting in greenhouses for the 

 purpose of finding a white lead and 

 method of mixing it that will make it 

 free from cracking and less liable to 

 mildew or peel off. 



It seems that in all pulp-ground lead, 

 that is, ground in oil, there is an excess 

 ^f moisture. This moisture causes it to 

 peel. By kiln-drying the lead the Lord 

 & Burnham (Jo. expels practically all the 

 moisture. Then the lead is ground finer 

 than the finest flour. This grinding 

 makes it incorporate thoroughly and 

 easily with the oil. This lead will then 

 take twenty-five per cent more oil than 

 other leads and for the same reason will 

 go just that much farther. 



AH the oil used is first tank-settled 

 for at least four months. This not only 

 purifies the oil, but cures it in a way 

 that increases its elasticity and binding 

 powers. 



In a series of experiments with the 

 introduction of zinc, with the idea of 

 protecting the paint against the disas- 

 trous effects of salt air, as experienced 

 by the Long Island florLsts, it has been 

 found that ten per cent of zinc greatly 

 increases tlie life of the paint, while an 

 excess of ten per cent, because of its ex- 

 treme hardness, causes disastrous crack- 

 ing.
