the hose bibs, even when %-ineh hose is 

 used. The number of nozzles that can 

 be used will be measured by the size of 

 the pipes rather than the pressure; the 

 force of the flow by the pressure. 



It will not be possible to do much 

 syringing with the pressure from such a 

 system. I believe you will find it more 

 satisfactory and almost as economical to 

 install a good gasoline engine and pump 

 from the pond directly into the mains 

 that supply the greenhouses, using a 

 pneumatic reserve tank or erecting a 

 small lank on a steel tower to be kept 

 full to meet emergencies of a breakdown 

 in the pumping plant. In this way you 

 can get thirty to sixty or seventy pounds 

 pressure, which is often required for 

 effective syringing. L. C. C. 



NEV ORLEANS. 



The most interesting part of the last 

 meeting of the New Orleans Horticultural 

 Society wes the distribution of the prize 

 money among the exhibitors at the fall 

 flower show. Although the show was far 

 from being a success in a financial way, 

 yet, thanks to the generosity of many 

 donors of prize money, enough funds 

 were on hand to pay a nice pro rata of 

 the prizes and every exhibitor was, after 

 all, well satisfied and repaid for his 

 trouble. The society still stands solid, 

 with a good sum on band and ready to 

 try again under better circumstances at 

 some early date. 



Business in plants is dull. Nobody can 

 expect much better at this time of the 

 year. Still H. Papworth and, no doubt, 

 a few others report a rushing business in
