Are they ex- pensive to build and operate? A—If you have a place where one may be attached to your house, it will be comparatively inexpensive to build. Very nice ones come in stock sizes that will fit almost any need. The cost will vary with respect to what must be done to heat it. If rou have sufficient capacity on your present heating plant to take care of the extra load, the whole installation should not be very high in cost. How- ever, it may be that you will have to put in a separate heating plant, and that may be costly. Consult one of the concerns making these green- houses; you will see their advertise- ments in many of the magazines. Q.—I want to consult someone about THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MAY 11, 1936 Enjoying Big Residential Building Boom With Home Ease of Culture and Beauty and Abundance of Bloom Please Amateur Gardeners By the Master Gardener Gladiolus are: becoming increasing- ly popular because of ease of culture and beauty and abundance of bloom. A succession of bloom may be had, too, if successive plantings are made at two-week intervals from early May to the last of June. Do not make the first planting until all danger of frost is past. Buy good bulbs. Bulbs of the! same size as a rule bloom at the same time, and thus give a mass effect when in bloom. Large bulbs bloom earliest, small bulbs last. The large bulbs give an earlier flower and a larger spike, but not a larger flower. For the average gardener, it is usu- ally best to purchase the medium size. Selection of varieties depends on individual taste. Here are some of the highest ranking favorites in standard varieties: White—Mammoth White, Al- batros, Jonkheer Van Tets. Yellow—Golden Dream. Orange—La Paloma. Light Red—Aflame. Orange Scarlet—Pfitzer’s Tri- umph, Flaming Scarlet—Dr. Bennett. Medium Red — Commander Koehl. Dark Red—Moorish King. Salmon—Picardy, Betty Nut- hall, Mildred Louise, Mr. W. H. Phipps. Pink—Mrs. P. W. Sisson, Mrs. Leon Douglas. Lavender—Minuet, Berty, Dr. Moody. Purple—Aida. Smoky—Marmora, Mother Ma- chree. Choose an open sunny place, not too near buildings nor close to foun- dations. Sun enriches the color of gladiolus, The situation must be well drained. Also it must be some- what sheltered, as heavy winds or rains are likely to break down the spikes. In preparing the soil, provide an heavy feeders. Apply a complete plant food in the trench in which the plant food thoroughly with the soil in the trench. As a precaution against thrips, it is wise, just before planting time, to !soak the bulbs in a@ solution of cor- \rosive sublimate (bichloride of mer- cury) 1 oz. to 8 gals, of water, using wooden or earthenware containers, as bichloride of mercury breaks down 1 Phone 1326 for Ashmore and Ellingson For estimates on painting, pa- pering and decorating.

This treatment will also kill any rot or scab organisms. It will retard time of bloom slightly, however. deep, the deeper plantings being made on sandy soil. Deeper plant- ings bloom later than shallower plantings, but are not so susceptible to damage during dry weather, and the plants will stand more upright and are not so easily blown over. When the plants reach a height of 6 inches, feed again, same amount as above (2 Ibs. per 100 feet of row) of a complete balanced plant food, ap- plying on both sides of the row prior to @ necessary cultivation. Just as the flower spikes begin to show, give another similar feeding. Cultivate well throughout the sea- son, The more the soil is kept stirred, the better it conserves the moisture. If you are in position to water the glads at blooming time, do so. If not, they will do fairly well by keeping the soil well cultivated and thus con- serving moisture. When cutting the flower spikes from the gladiolus, do not remove more of the foliage than absolutely necessary, since foliage is necessary to manufacture foods which go to build next year's bulbs. Leave at least four leaves. For best cut flow- ers, cut the spike when the first bud is open. Remember: Good bulbs, plenty of sun, food, water and cultivation will raise good “glads.” BISMARCK PAINT & GLASS CO. 401 Fourth St. Phone 389 PAINTS, VARNISHES, BRUSHES, WALLPAPER, GLASS AND ARTISTS’ MATERIALS Home of the JEWEL DOUBLE- QUICK HOUSE PAINT and other quick-drying JEWEL paints, enamels and varnishes. iH.

Skimping in painting is the poorest kind of economy. The outside paint is the skin that protects the structure, and it is the most conspicuous feature of the house. Discolored or cracked or peeling paint will spoil the appearance of the best-designed house. As soon as the paint coat starts to give way the whole exterior structure is open to the attacks of the elements. If the owner is particular about the appearance of his house and its struc- terior as soon as he sees the slightest tendency of failure of the paint sur- face. If he lets it go until real deter- joration sets in, the expense will be far greater in repainting, because all the failing paint must be removed before the new paint is applied. To put new paint over disintegrating old paint is worse than the waste of time and money involved in putting on the new coat, for paitit has only the strength of its base coat; if that has lost its grip on the surface to For Expert Plumbing Call 0.

Next to poor workmanship and ma- terials, moisture is the greatest factor in paint failure. Moisture comes from within the house as well as from without, so to insure a good paint job the back of all outside wood should be painted before it is erected. The original painting job, there- fore, is of the greatest importance. First-class materials expertly mixed and placed are the only insurance against Jarge repair bills.
