Cluysaflthemom 



By Arthur Herrington 



Formerly president Chrysanthemum 

 Society of America. 



The most complete and comprehensive 

 work on the cultivation of the chrysan- 

 themum that has yet been published in 

 America. Its scope and character may 

 be gleaned from the list of contents, 

 which comprises chapters on composts; 

 planting; benches, boxes or pots; general 

 cultural details ; crown and terminal buds ; 

 feeding, its object and application; care 

 of the buds; exhibition and judging; spec- 

 imen plants, plants in pots; raising from 

 seed and hybridizing; sports; hardy 

 chrysanthemums ; chrysanthemums for 

 south and west; insect pests and diseases: 

 classification and selection of varieties 

 for special purposes; history of the chrys- 

 anthemum, etc. The book will be wel- 

 comed for the lucid, comprehensive, as 

 well as the practical character of its con- 

 tents. Handsomely illustrated. 108 

 pages. 5x7 inches. Price 50c 'i)ostpaid.

OBEENHOYSE CONSTBUCTION. 



[Concladed from page 41. j 



few good jobs where the glass is butted, 

 but I am not in favor of this method 

 and I would advise all florists who build 

 greenhouses to bed the glass in putty 

 and lap the joints. Putty makes a cush- 

 ion for the glass and prevents moisture 

 from getting between the glass and bars. 

 If the best putty is used the glass will 

 •not accumulate dirt and make shade, as 

 we find in butted-glass houses. 



The Heating System. 



The heating system in a greenhouse 

 is an important matter in obtaining the 

 best results. This should be so planned 

 and the coils so arranged that the heat 

 can be equalized. I have always been 

 a firm believer in steam heat for large 

 plants. It is possible with a vacuum 

 system and steam traps to place the 

 boiler on the same level with the green- 

 house floor. You will readily see that 

 the expense of a deep cellar can thus 

 be avoided and the cost of taking the 

 ashes out and getting the coal in will 

 be greatly reduced. 



My idea of heating a large plant 

 with steam would be to carry a pres- 

 sure of twenty to thirty pounds and 

 use a reducing valve or a vacuum sys- 

 tem. With this plan you always have 

 plenty of steam and your fireman will 

 not have any excuse for not keeping 

 the right temperature in the various 

 houses. This plan is now used in a 

 great many greenhouse plants and has 

 proved to be satisfactory. 



The Up-to-Date Builder. 



The fact that greenhouse builders 

 can be found in every section makes 

 the planning and building of green- 

 houses much easier than years ago. The 

 greenhouse builders are always ready 

 and willing to spend their good money 

 to try to improve and build you the 

 best possible kind of a house. This is 

 not always an easy task and I feel that 

 the growers do not realize what this 

 means. The up-to-date builder is al- 

 ways looking out for the best green- 

 house material and working out the 

 special details so that these can be 

 standardized, which makes it possible 

 to carry stock so that orders can be 

 filled on short notice. In our private 

 work, where we build small, compact 

 ranges of glass, it is difficult to plan so 

 that the best and most practical ar- 

 rangement can be had in securing the 

 proper light. We are often limited to 

 small spaces in which to locate private 

 greenhouses. We meet with uneven 

 grades and undesirable exposures. 



Palmyra, N. J. — F. R. Matsinger re- 

 ports that, though trade has been 

 good, this may be his last season in 

 the business, as the ground which h^ 

 has been renting for outdoor planting 

 will soon be covered with buildings, 

 and his greenhouses are of little use 

 to him without the outdoor space. 



Baleigh, N. C— J. L. O'Quinn & Co. 

 say that St Patrick's day "made a 

 hit" with them. They thought they 

 might be able to use a few hundred 

 green carnations and made preparations 

 accordingly. In a few hours these were 

 all gone and it was afterward impossible 

 to prepare the flowers fast enough to 

 meet the demand. This was the first 

 time, they say, in which the day was 

 recognized in this particular manner.
