THE GARDEN I NG WO RLE), 
November 7, 189i. 
the Tomatos were not grown on plaintiff’s plants; the 
plants he saw were very healthy ones, but too young 
to have borne the fruit shown to him by the plaintiff. 
The advocates then addressed his Honour, who, in 
giving judgment, commented'at length on the case, 
and said it was one which, considering the evenly- 
balanced evidence given on both sides, occasioned 
him, as a judge, great anxiety in coming to his deci¬ 
sion, but having carefully weighed all the circum¬ 
stances, he could not do other than uphold the 
decision come to by the committee. His Honour 
accordingly gave a verdict for the defendants, with 
costs.

Mfc. Henry Glasscock, a well-known cultivator and 
exhibitor of the Dahlia, died very suddenly at his 
residence. Rye Bank, Bishop's Stortford, a few days 
Since, at the age of seventy-one years. He was 
always a familiar figure at the annual exhibition of 
the National Dahlia Society at the Crystal Palace, 
and acted as secretary for a few years on the death 
of Mr. Thomas Moore. He was a florist of many 
years’ standing, and at one time a cultivator of 
Pansies, and later of Fuchsias, Roses, &c.; but of 
late years devoting himself to the Dahlia, and being 
very successful as an exhibitor. Born at Bishop’s 
Stortford, and by business a builder and brickmaker, 
he took a great interest in all matters connected with 
the town and was a member of the Local Board of 
Health from 1875 to 1890. His death creates 
another vacancy in the ranks of the florists of a past 
generation, as he had been identified with Floricul- 
tural Societies for nearly half a century. He is 
deeply mourned by a large family and his fellow- 
townsmen. 
We regret to learn also of the death recently at St. 
Bagot's, Jersey, of the famous Grape grower, Mr. 
G. Bashford, In early life Mr. Bashford was a 
photographer, but took to Grape growing for the 
London market, and at the time of his death had 
literally acres of glass under fruit cultivation. 
Questions add adsujghs. 
Greenhouse Floor.— IF. B. B.: All that you can 
do is to relay the floor or buy a mop, and we sug¬ 
gest the latter course as being the cheapest. If you 
arrange the plants in beds on the floor you might put 
some Cocoa-nut fibre refuse under them to absorb 
the moisture, but you would have to change it fairly 
often.

When to divide Ccelogyne. — J. IF .: From 
what you say of the size and growth of your Coelo- 
gyne we believe it to be C. cristata, or a variety of it. 
The best time to divide and repot it is just when it 
commences to grow after having flowered. Observe 
when the first roots begin to push out, and before 
there is danger of breaking them in the operation, 
and have the work accomplished at once. For the 
matter of that you could separate and repot the 
pseudobulbs immediately they have done flowering. 
Drain the pans well, and use a compost consisting of 
one half good fibrous peat and the other half sphag¬ 
num, with a quantity of silver sand. Press the 
material very firmly about the rhizomes to keep the 
pseduobulbs in position till roots are emitted into the 
fresh material. Give a watering to settle the soil, 
but comparatively little will be required afterwards 
till they begin to grow strongly, when a higher tem¬ 
perature and copious watering will be necessary 
during the remainder of the growing season.

THE CHAMPION HORIZONTAL TUBULAR BOILER (J 0 AT S) 
WHICH IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST ALL-ROUND BOILER IN THE MARKET. 
It combines all the advantages of its class so well 
known, and by the improved method of forming the 
joints—viz., with India Rubber Washers, THE 
OLD AND TOO OFTEN INEFFECTUAL WAY 
OF CAULKING THE JOINTS IS ENTIRELY 
DISPENSED WITH, 
It can be erected in a few hours, and may be relied 
upon as a thoroughly sound and good Hot-water st: 
Generator. It has been carefully tested in every 
possible way, more especially with regard to powef 
and durability, and the result has been highly 
satisfactory. 
In the event of a Pipe in this Boiler requiring to 
be replaced, an arrangement has been perfected 
whereby the same may be made in the course of a 
FEW MINUTES, without the necessity of dis¬ 
turbing the brickwork setting.
