FURNISHED in continuous lengths of 560 feet^ 

 An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured 



with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton 

 duck, and with specially ^elected rubber_in_the inner 

 tube and cover.' j 



^ The woven jacket construction makes'a stronger 

 nose than can be obtained from cotton duck, and [ 

 absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening 

 at seam— a common cause of failure of hose made on 

 cotton duck. "This construction also gives a more 

 flexible hose and reduces the possibility of kinking. ' 



"Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure 

 of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting , 

 pressure is f ar in excess of this.

SLOW-BLOOMING GLADIOLI. 



Why do some glads only open two or 

 three flowers at a time, and can they 

 be improved in some way? J. J. H. 



Some of the larger flowered varieties 

 of gladioli, especially the princeps sec- 

 tion, only carry two or three flowers 

 •before those first open fade. The prin- 

 ceps varieties are big and handsome, 

 but thej"* never carry so many open 

 blooms as the older and smaller flow- 

 (*red sorts, like Brenchleyensis, May, 

 -Vugusta, or even that beautiful sort,

SIDING AND SHEATHING. 



Which, in your juclgmcnt, would he 

 the better method of constructing 

 greenhouse walls — nailing the siding 

 tight to the sheathing, with paper be-, 

 tween, or putting a lath between the 

 siding and sheathing, making an air 



space? 



'^ -'-C. B. 



The usual method of affixing the 

 siding to the sheathing is to put the 

 paper on the sheathing and then nail 

 on the siding. The more modern 

 method, however, is to use laths to 

 fasten the paper and then nail on the 

 siding over the laths, thus leaving an 

 air space of one-half or one-quarter of 

 an inch. This I consider the better 

 system. Ribes. 



PINCHING COSMOS. 



I should like to have some informa- 

 tion in regard to topping cosmds for 

 commercial use. E, W. F. 



Cosmos can be made more bushy by 

 .judicious pinching. It is now, however, 

 too late to do this. That fine variety, 

 Lady Leliiftx, which is a late bloomer, 

 makes a beautiful specimen in a tub or 

 large pot when pinched twice or thrice 

 during the season. The first pinching 

 should be done while the plants are no
