tion above ground is given a coat of 

 paint they will last a good many years, 

 provided cypress or hemlock is used. At 

 the present time pecky cypress is very 

 popular and, while inexpensive, it is said 

 to outwear pine or hemlock. In the caf^n 

 of side benches they should not be fast- 

 ened directly to the framework of the 

 house unless iron brackets to separate 

 the woodwork is used. 



Roses, chrysanthemums and carnations 

 do not need more than from four to five 

 inches of compost to grow in, so if your 

 side boards are six inches high they will 

 be all right. Drainage is secured by 

 leaving a space between each of the bot- 

 tom boards; half an inch will suffice. 

 Some growers use plank bottoms, which 

 ^ome higher than boards. As a rule we 

 find that %-inch cypress wears from four 

 to six years in the bottoms. The sides, 

 if painted, will last longer. After mak- 

 ing the benches, give the insides of them 

 a coating of crude petroleum. It acts 

 as a preservative and is repugnant to 

 insects. Side benches may be from two 

 and one-half to three and one-fourth 

 feet wide, center benches four and one- 

 half to five feet. Nothing is gained by 

 having them wider, as the middles of

the wider benches do not dry out well 

 in winter and are difficult to clean and 

 care for. 



In filling the benches put some of the 

 coarser compost at the bottom. We usu- 

 ally lay some coarse straw or meadow 

 hay in before hauling in the loam. From 

 twenty-seven to thirty inches is a suit- 

 able height for benches, although they 

 are found both higher and lower. C. W. -

Greenford, O. — M. C. Clay, as usual 

 in recent years, has opened a temporary 

 store at Youngstown. He usually main- 

 tains the branch only to Memorial day, 

 but this year may continue it a few 

 weeks longer because of the backward- 

 ness of the season.
