GREENHOUSE BUILDING. 



On all sides there are the evidences of 

 an active season of greenhouse building. 

 E. F. Kurowski says that the low price 

 of glass and pipe has done a great deal 

 to stimulate the business this year. Not 

 in a number of years has it been possi- 

 ble to build greenhouses so cheaply as 

 this season. The price of glass is lower 

 than it has been in years, and those who 

 are in a position to know say greenhouse 

 sizes can be bought today at practically 

 the cost of production. There was a 

 brief flurry a few weeks ago, with a 

 temporary sharp advance, but prices are 

 again down to about the lowest point 

 touched since the depression came on. 

 Pipe is not quite so cheap, proportionate- 

 ly, as glass, but it is to be had much 

 below last year 's prices. Lumber also is 

 off, except the best grade of cypress, but 

 competition keeps the price of mill work 

 at a level where the greenhouse owner 

 has no cause for complaint. 



BLACK ANTS. 



Will you kindly tell me why my green- 

 house is so full of black ants and what 

 to do to get rid of them? C. M. T. 



I cannot say what causes the black ants 

 to come into your greenhouses, but they 

 are certainly an annoying pest, and some- 

 times destructive. You can poison many 

 by mixing a little cyanide of potassium 

 with sugar and laying it about their 

 haunts. Break the cyanide up finely. It 

 is a deadly poison; therefore, use care in 

 handling it. Also do not swallow any 

 more of the fumes than is absolutely 

 necessary. Carbon bisulphide poured in 

 small quantities into their holes will 

 smother many and drive others away. 

 Boiling water, where it can be used with 

 safety to the plants, can be applied with 

 good effect. Good tobacco dust dusted 

 about their haunts is also distasteful. 



Keep moisture off the cyanide mixture 

 and do not leave it where there is any 

 possibility of children picking it up.

Salt Lake City, Utah. — The Child- 

 Walk Floral Co. has dissolved partner- 

 ship. The business will be continued by 

 J. F. Walk. 



Fall Eivee, Mass. — The greenhouse 

 men at Oak Grove cemetery, working un- 

 der the direction of Superintendent of 

 Parks Lothrop and Superintendent Law- 

 ton of the cemetery, are putting the stock 

 of plants into the new park greenhouses. 

 The plants from the old houses are being 

 removed. Large additions to the stock 

 are to be made.
