The grandiflorus sec- tion is the latest. Mr. Jackson went on to speak of many more hardy shrubs, and we regret that we cannot give the substance at least of the whole of his interesting and valuable paper, but space will not permit. Western Notes on Heating Green- houses. The intrinsic value of a given ([uantity of fuel is in exact proportion to the amount of latent heat that is stored within it, and all things being eciual the relative value of the different kinds in use is about the same; that is to say, tak- ing this point as a criterion, dftring the months of August .ind September here the current price of hard coal is |S 50 per ton, soft coal, mined forty to sixty miles from this city, ^-^f per ton, and seasoned hard wood I4 50 per cord; at these prices their value is about e(iual, the difference being in the cost of labor required in their consumption. That process or system which in the disintegration of this fuel by combustion generates the greatest amount of heat, elaborates it to the furtherest extremi- ties, placing it under perfect control, so that the heat may be utilized when and where it may be required, must be con- ceded to be the most economical and the most desirable, and while there are con- stantly new theories advanced and num- erous plans and devices recommended for the efficient heating of greenhouses, unfortunately this information is largely <lrawn from
