SHADING FOR GREENHOUSES. 



What would be a good substitute for 

 lime shading on greenhouses? Owing 

 to the destructive nature of lime, 

 •which eats and destroys paint and 

 putty, causing leaks and decay and also 

 making it difficult to repaint while the 

 shade is on, I have decided to discon- 

 tinue its use. Here seems to be an 

 opening for some enterprising chemist 

 to invent ani put on the market some 

 canned and prepared shade. A. A. 



Lime is now little used as a shading 

 material on greenhouses, for the rea- 

 sons you have stated. A far better 

 material is naphtha or kerosene and 

 ordinary white lead. Keep it well 

 stirred; apply either with a brush, or 

 with a force pump if the houses are 

 large. You can make it thin or thick, 

 according to the season and the vari- 

 eties of plants to be shaded. This 

 shading is more adhesive than' lime 

 wash and is 'beneficial rather than in- 

 jurious to the woodwork and putty. 

 For a still lighter sliade, kerosene and 

 ordinary whiting can be used. Any of 

 these shades can be easily removed 

 when desired, by merely damping them 

 and rubbing with a brush. The early 

 frosts assist in loosening it. Be care- 

 ful not to use linseed oil in your white 

 lead, or you will have serious difficulty 

 in removing it from the glass. 



There may be some special canned 

 preparations on the market, but you 

 can easily mix your own shading and 

 economize quite "^a little by doing so.

PERPETUAL FLOWERING FREESIA. 



I have a freesia on my place that has 

 carmine or orange flowers and it has 

 bloomed several times this winter. 

 Every flower is the same. Is there any 

 such bulb on the market, or is it a 

 freak? F. T. 



I do not know of any freesia which 

 flowers several times during the winter. 

 F. refracta alba and F. Leichtlinii 

 throw a single spike, and if yours 

 throws several it is certainly a distinct 

 break and one well worthy of perpetua- 

 tion. You cannot purchase bulbs of any 

 such variety. ^- ^^

LET'S FIfiDRE IT ODT-YOU AND 1 



No matter what kind of house you build you have to spend the same money for the sides, the 

 glass, the putty, the ventilating sash and apparatus, and the benches. If you buy flrst-class materials 

 for these the only difference in cost between it and oiu' Iron Frame House is on the frame itself. That 

 means that any money you save in putting up a cheaper house than our Iron Frame one is only cheaper 

 because of its poorer frame. It is a ciieapening of the most vital part of your house— the sup- 

 portinB part. Can you, tlien, afford to mal^e that kind of a temporary saving on a temporary 

 frame, as against a permanent frame as a permanent Investment? Of course you can't. If 

 you will give us a cliance wu can sliow you some surprising figures on comparative cost of houses. 

 They will certainly open your eyes.
