YOUNGSTOWN, O. 



H, H. Cade, formerly of Cairo, 111., 

 purchased the establishment of Johu 

 Walker February 2 and has taken pos- 

 session. Mr. Walker and Mr. McLean 

 came to Youngstowu some ten years 

 ago, from Philadelphia, and bought the 

 Hippard establishment. Later Mr. Wal- 

 ker became sole owner. Two years ago 

 he built a new range of glass at Board- 

 man, disposing of the city property. 

 There is a well equipped city store at 

 11 South Phelps street. The growing 

 plant consists of seventeen acres of good 

 land, five 200-foot and three 100-foot 

 greenhouses, boiler and packing shed, 

 36 X 100; all erected in 1911; houses 

 planted in roses, carnations, etc.; 6-room 

 house, two barns and other buildings. 



Mr. Cade was in the business at 

 Cairo, 111., for several years prior to 

 last August, when he sold out to his 

 brother and went to Eidgely, Md. 



IS TraS MAN DISSATISFIED? 



Every now and then an advertiser 

 writes a letter regarding results, say- 

 ing that he is dissatisfied, but it seems 

 that possibly he may not expect to be 

 taken literally. Like this: 



Please don't print our adTertlsement In the 

 Classified section any more. We already liave 

 orders for about 5,000 more geraniums tlian 

 we can fill and we liave to spend too mucli time 

 returninK ciiecljs. The advertisement of three 

 iines only appeared once. If you should print it 

 again we would lose our profit In time and stamps 

 consumed in answering orders we cannot fill. —

MAKING LIQUID PUTTY. 



Kindly give me a formula for mak- 

 ing liquid putty, and state the quantity 

 that would be required for about 3,000 

 square feet of glass. I am unable to 

 buy putty in liquid form here. 



In order to make a first-class liquid 

 putty, one should be able to run it 

 through a paint mill, but it will answer 

 if a fine sieve is used for sifting the 

 whiting, to remove everything except 

 the dust-like particles. The amount re- 

 quired will depend largely upon the 

 size and thickness of the ^ass, as well

as upon the space between the glass 

 and the sashbars. For glazing with 

 double-strength 16-ineh glass, about 150 

 pounds of whiting and five to seven 

 gallons of linseed oil will be required, 

 depending upon the consistency of the 

 putty. The durability of the putty will 

 be improved by the addition of about 

 ten pounds of white lead. 



While liquid putty is in a convenient 

 form for use in patching an old roof, 

 I prefer a rather firm paste for ordi- 

 nary glazing, merely bedding the glass 

 and filling the cracks at the sides of 

 the panes, without using any putty 

 over the glass. T.

TIME TO FORCE DUTCH BULBS. 



When will it be advisable to take in 

 Dutch bulbs to be forced? J. C. H, 



Any of the Dutch bulbs, such as 

 hyacinths, narcissi and tulips, can be 

 housed for forcing as soon as the 

 growths are started two to three inches. 

 Bring batches along as needed. Dutch 

 hyacinths and tulips can be had as early 

 as Christmas, narcissi a little later, and 

 from that time until May 1. C. W.
