Here Are Two Good Easter Sellers in Any Flower Store. 



CLEANING GREENHOUSE GLASS. 



Please give us some iuformatien in re- 

 gard to cleaning greenhouse glass. We 

 have torn down an old house, and the 

 glass ia covered with a kind of dirt which 

 is very hard to remove. We have tried 

 lye, but this has no eflfect. Do you know 

 what will cut the dirt? O. J. P. 



If concentrated lye does not remove the 

 dirt after the glass has been immersed a 

 few hours, there is little hope of getting 

 it clean. Corrosive sublimate will remove 

 all paint and putty stains if the surface 

 of the glasa^is not c»rro4«d. This- ehem- 

 ical requires- rery careful handling to pre- 

 vent burning the hands. Consult some 

 chemist or apply to a good painter, as 

 they lAually have recipes for this class 

 of work. BiBES.
