coal in a cold spell, but it is so com- 

 mon to have railroads tied up when 

 shipments are most needed that the 

 greenhouse trade carries a bigger re- 

 serve stock than do fuel users in most 

 other lines. 



Most coal concerns like to sign up 

 the greenhouse trade on season con- 

 tracts; it is good business. After the 

 contract has been closed, the shipper 

 can make deliveries more or less at his 

 own pleasure during summer, since the 

 fuel is merely for storage. "When you 

 find a greenhouse plant of 100,000 feet 

 of glass it means that the season's con- 

 sumption of coal averages twenty-five 

 cars if Pocahontas is burned — a train- 

 load. And places of 100,000 feet are 

 common — there are several, east and 

 west, that have from 1,000,000 to 2,000,- 

 000 feet of glass, and fuel needs in pro- 

 portion. 



Some coal concerns complain that 

 their greenhouse trade doesn't pay 

 promptly. That's the coal trade's own 

 fault. Florists are like other people in 

 that a part pay promptly from inclina- 

 tion, a part from the desire to gain the 

 best terms, and still another part only 

 because they are required to do so. 

 Some florists ^ant liberal credit, others 

 scarcely any, and each accustoms his 

 customers to his method; doubtless it is 

 the same among coal concerns. 



BUITJJINO A SMALL EOSE HOUSE. 



I have never grown any roses, partly 

 because I had no rose house and partly 

 because there was not much demand for 

 them at the price. Last fall I put in a 

 new boiler, and it did its work so well 

 that I am sure it can do more, so I 

 ^ant to put up a small house in which 

 to try my hand at roses and also keep 

 a few other sorts of plants that will do 

 well in a rose house temperature. In 

 the planning of this new house I should 

 iike your help, so as to do it as nearly 

 right as circumstances will allow. My 

 Idea is to build a small house, twenty-
