HEATING ARSANGEMENTS. 



Will you kindly tell me how many 

 rows of 1 14-inch or IV^-inch pipe it 

 will take to heat a greenhouse 20x7iJ 

 feet, inside temperature to be 52 degrees 

 when it is below zero outside? The 

 house is ten feet to the ridge with 4V_.- 

 foot sides, no glass in the sides; steam 

 heat to be used. J. W. S. 



If hot water is to be used to supply 

 the heat for the house in question, 20x7.'j 

 feet, it will require a 2 14 -inch supply 

 pipe and fifteen l^i-inch returns; or if 

 1%-inch pipes are used thirteen returns 

 will be required. L. C. C.

THE READERS' CORNER. 



Exterminating Ants. 



I see some inquiry about killing ants. 

 I find the best plan is to put a small 

 amount of powdered cyanide of potas- 

 sium over the hole. Jt kills the ants 

 when they remove it. For large ant hills 

 outdoors I use the granulated form. A 

 fourth of a teaspoonful will clean out 

 almost any nest. A. Gardner. 



SOLLYA DRUMMONDI. 



A very pleasing and most uncommon 

 feature at the recent Temple show, in 

 London, was a small group of this 

 pretty little twining plant, thickly 

 studded with blossoms. The specimens 

 composing this group had taken pos- 

 session of some small branches stuck 

 in the pots, and had been allowed to 

 grow in quite an informal manner. The 

 small bright bluebell-shaped flowers were 

 sufficiently numerous to make a goodly 

 show, and many times was the question 

 asked. What plant is thatf Although 

 comparatively unknown, the two recog- 

 nized species, S. Drummondi (or parvi- 

 flora) and 8. heterophylla, were both 

 introduced in the first half of the last 

 century. The genus sollya is limited to 

 Australia, and consequently requires the 

 protection of a greenhouse in most parts 

 of these islands. The Australian blue- 

 bell climber, as the sollya is popularly 

 termed, is a charming subject for train- 

 ing to roof or pillar in the greenhouse, 

 as its slender, wiry shoots, clothed with 

 narrow leaves, have a light and elegant 

 appearance, and when thickly studded 

 with its small bell-like flowers of a beau- 

 tiful gentian blue, there is nothing else 

 with Avhich it can be compared. It grows 

 well in ordinary potting compost. —
