 small, too much water will be drawn up.—*. Better in Der

Glazing. —(Fig. 65.) The new clip, made of zinc, for use 

 in glazing all kinds of horticultural structures, dispenses with 

 the use of top putty, saves expense in the first cost of labor, 

 and time in the making of repairs afterwards. The smaller 

 illustration given shows the clip ; the larger one the manner 

 in which the clip is used to hold the panes down upon the 

 thin layer of putty underneath, and the stops to keep them m 

 position. The clip itself is fixed to the sash-bars by means 

 of a brass screw or tack. The special advantages claimed 

 by the inventor, are a saving of 50 per cent, in the time re- 

 quired in glazing ; no breakage from contraction or expansion ; 

 the easv replacement of panes broken by accident ; and the 

 prevention of loss of heat by the close lapping of the glass 

 which this system of glazing permits. — Gardening World. 



To Kill Green-Fly. —Take a 6-inch flower pot, enlarge 

 the hole to an inch in diameter, make a supporting wire frame 

 with a handle over it like a bucket and which will raise >t 

 about an inch from the floor. Chop tobacco stems an inch 

 or less long, dampen them a little, and fill the pot. Light 

 through the hole in the bottom. It gives no flame, and burns 

 very slowly. Ex.
