 An exceptionally high grade hose manufactured 

 with a woven jacket insertion instead of cotton 

 duck, and with specially selected rubbenn the inner 

 tube and cover.'" _ i 



The woven jacket constructwn makes'a stronger 

 hose 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. I 

 "Magic" Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure 

 of 500 pounds per square inch, although its bursting 1 

 pressure is fa r in excess ot this.

We notice on our greenhouses, erected 

 three years ago, that the putty is fall- 

 ing out, although the putty when used 

 •was supposed to be the best putty made. 

 We propose to make our own putty next 

 time and should be pleased to know 

 what proportions of lead, oil and whit- 

 ing are best to use. B. G. 



From the statement it is not quite 

 clear whether the trouble is due to the 

 nature of the putty used or to the con- 

 dition of the sashbars. The glazing 

 should not be done until the sashbars 

 have received one good coat of paint 

 in addition to the priming coat. If 

 this is given and the putty is of good 

 quality it should last for many years, 

 if the house is kept properly painted. 



It is possible that a part of the 

 trouble may be due to the putty being 

 applied over instead of under the glass. 

 If that is the case, and the putty re- 

 maining on the glass is loose, the best

thing to do is to scrape it off and, after 

 filling all cracks at the side as well 

 as under the glass, apply a coat of 

 rather thick paint, so as to cover all 

 of the exposed putty. 



To make greenhouse putty, mix whit- 

 ing and linseed oil so as to secure the 

 proper consistency and then add about 

 five per cent by weight of white lead. 



In glazing a greenhouse, apply enough 

 putty to fill the shoulders on the sash- 

 bars and then press down the glass 

 firmly, so as to squeeze out all surplus 

 putty and fill the space under and at 

 the sides of the panes. Never use any 

 putty over the glass.
