CEMENT IN GREENHOUSE WALLS. 



I expcet to go into the florists' busi- 

 ness in this city, beginning operation 

 about April of next year. 1 intend to 

 build a three-quarter-span house, 20x96, 

 with a boiler-house, etc., as a beginning. 

 I am i'onsidering the advisability of 

 building the side walls of the greenhouse 

 of cement blocks and would be pleased 

 to have your opinion in regard to this 

 method of construction. Is it more eco- 

 nomical than grout or brick, and does 

 it give good satisfaction? J. H. B. 



Few of the modern commercial grow- 

 ers are using either brick or cement for 

 greenhouse walls, the objections being 

 cost and the unsuitability of the ma- 

 terial, because of the jiorousness and 

 coldness of the \\alls during winter. If 

 hollow cement blocks are used, this ob- 

 jection is partly overcome. 



Economic construction, durability and 

 lightness combined can be attained by 

 using tubular iron supports, set in con- 

 crete blocks, and attaching thereto ordi- 

 nary wooden walls. Any of the con- 

 struction companies will gladly sui)ply 

 plans and estimates. Walls constructed 

 on these lines cost about 30 cents per 

 lineal foot for seven feet high.

BEST DARK RED GERANIUM. 



What is the name of the darkest red 

 geranium known and where can I get 



them? 



D. S. 



We are really unable to state which is 

 the darkest red geranium known. Very 

 dark varieties are of little commercial 

 value, those of clear scarlet or crimson 

 scarlet shades being in the best request. 

 S. A. Nutt is the standard double crim- 

 son geranium for bedding or pot culture. 

 El Cid, of a velvety crimson color, is 

 fine, while Colossus, of rather more re- 

 cent introduction, is a beautiful dark 

 crimson. In singles, Jacquerie continues 

 to lead. Its color is crimson scarlet. 

 Cannell's Crimson Bedder is another 

 s|)lendid variety. If you want good, 

 dark crimson geraniums to sell, any of 

 the foregoing varieties will please you. 

 They are each and all good for either 

 bedding or pot culture. 



R. Vincent, Jr.. & Sons Co., White 

 Marsh, Md., publish a geranium cata- 

 logue, well illustrated, and are leading 

 specialists with these plants in America. 

 We' can recommend them as being a re- 

 liable firm. C. W.
