gest can probably be heated by using one 

 2-inch flow under the ridge and four 

 2-inch pipes on each side wall — five 2-inch 

 pipes in all. You may run the flow pipe 

 either underground or overhead, accord- 

 ing to convenience. 



If the mums are to be planted in the 

 soil, I should prefer that at least eight 

 inches of the surface be prepared for the 

 reception of the plants. This should be 

 treated the same as potting soil. If the 

 location is a well protected one, I think 

 it will be as well to leave the plants with- 

 out protection until the stems are well 

 formed and the buds begin to appear. 

 At about this stage I should provide roof 

 protection and, if the nights are cool, 

 side glass as well. Most growers prefer 

 to bring the plants on in a protected 

 place in the open, rather than in the 

 house, as somewhat less care and atten- 

 tion are required. L. C. C. 



A HOUSE IN SOUTHERN TEXAS. 



"We are going to build a hothouse, 

 50x100 feet, and want to grow flowers 

 in it. What kind would you advise 

 planting? We know very little about the 

 business, but have a ready sale for nearly 

 any kind of flower in the fall and win- 

 ter. We should like to know if it is 

 best to put in carnations only, ^ or to 

 have roses, sweet peas and carnations. 



We already have a small house, full of 

 ferns and pot plants. We are new at 

 the business and make a good many 

 mistakes. We fumigated with sulphur

and killed more than half of our stock. 

 We want to raise something which is 

 easy to grow and will be pretty. We did 

 finely with chrysanthemums last year, but 

 we grow them outside. 



The climate is warm here and we do 

 not need a fire in the hothouse more than 

 two weeks during the whole winter. 

 Will you please advise us how to heat 

 it? We have used coal oil stoves, but 

 could not heat the large house that way. 

 We want something cheap, and do not 

 want to stay up all night to build fires. 



Any information you can give us vrill 

 be gladly received. H. C. G.

but that you can succeed with carnations 

 and roses in the same house. Chrysan- 

 themums can be grown practically with- 

 out protection, unless it should prove 

 a benefit to protect them with plant 

 cloth, to modify the sun and ke^ off 

 insects. For this purpose I would sug- 

 gest the use of "aerial tent cloth," the 

 same as used for tobacco. 



The roses and carnations may be 

 planted in the soil and the house may 

 consist merely of a light frame built on
