Joseph H. Penrich was away the first 

 of the weeli, visiting his Jersey growers. 



John Young is now enjoying country 

 life when the duties of each day are com- 

 pleted, at his Bedford home, where the 

 701-foot Beauty house must be seen to 

 be appreciated.

 their new and enlarged headquarters in 

 the Coogan building.

* LORRAINE BEGONIAS. 



I have been looking over some old 

 Reviews to find something on Lorraine 

 begonias, but was unable to find any- 

 thing. I have some started in 2% -inch 

 pots. They need tiransplanting and I 

 don't know anything about the soil and 

 treatment of them, so please give me 

 some advice. \ C. F. R. 



. A good soil to shift your Lorraine be- 

 \gonia8 into consists of one-third fibrous 

 loam, leaf-mold and well decayed and 

 dried cow manure, 4o which may be 

 added a little powdered charcoal and 

 some sharp san^. The plants shouM be 

 potted rather loosely. They do not re- 

 ^ quire a house which is heavily shaded, 

 doing much better in one where the sun 's 

 rays are merely broken. The growth 

 made is rath6r ' slow during the hot 

 months, but after August 1 thpy move 

 along more rapidly. A temperature of 

 60 degrees at night will suit them well. 

 Admit air quite freely. When flowers 

 start to open, a cooler house is to be pre- 

 ferred. They will grow well in a frame 

 after the middle of June, using lath 

 blinds to shade them during the heat of 

 the day. C. W. 



BENCH BUILDING. 



How- shall I construct benches for 

 roses, carnations and mumsf Am par- 

 ticularly anxious to know how to arrange 

 for drainage. E. D. P. 



There are several types of benches now 

 in common use. In many large houses, 

 concrete and tiles are used exclusively. 

 Another style in more common use is 

 that in which adjustable gas pipe legs 

 support angle-iron frames on which 

 cypress bottoms are placed. The third, 

 and perhaps most common, type is made 

 entirely of wood. The latter material 

 will not last like iron, but if the legs 

 of the benches are bedded in cement or 

 well coated with coal tar and the por-
