OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK,

The extreme dampness of the weather calls for increased
vigilance in the conservatory and greenhouse. All dead
leaves, and everything which ern ourages mouldiness,
should be removed, and the houses thoroughly ventilated.
If fire heat is necesQary to expel the damp, give plenty of
air at the same time ; otherwise the moisture, instead of
being carried off, is rendered more injurious by being
converted temporarily into vapour. Ericas, Hybrid,
Rhododendrons, and other plants, growing in heath soil,
and now coming into bloom, require a regular supply of
water, given with care ; and Camellias, now coming into
full flowering condition, will be improved by slight water-
ings of weak liquid manure.
In the out-door department, the wet will prevent much
being done at present. Planting and removing fruit trees,
and deciduous shrubs, should be finished as soon as pos-
sible; and in dry situations potatoes mPy be planted.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

" A Lover of Spring Flowers."—We will adopt your
suggestion next week. _ _

" J . West, Birkenhead."—Rather a heavy clayey loam
well Immured with stable dung is best adapted for straw-
berries.

" S. S."—lt is much too early to sow even the hardiest
annuals ; your directions were erroneous, they might
struggle through the sharp spring weather which we must
expect, but they would not bloom earlier, and would be
weak and mutilated plants. September is a good time
for sowing them, as they become strong enough to resist
the cold weather.

TANN'S PATENT FIREPROOF SAFES

J. G. HARRISON and Co. beg to draw the attention of the
public to an advertisement which Mr. Miler has published for
sometime in the Liverpool papers, setting forth that the Court
of Chancery had granted an injunction prohibiting the sale of
safes made according to " Tart's Patent." The perseverance
with which Mr. Milner still proclaims an assertion so manifestly
untrue prevents further forbearance on the part of J. G. H. and
Co.. and compels them to repeat that his attempt to invalidate
" Tann's Patent" has been completely unsuccessful. In proof
of this J. G. H. and Co. would quote the following extracts
from the judgment of his honour, Vice-Chancellor Sir George
Turner, given so recently as the 15th instant, in the cause of
Milner v. Harrison. His honour says, " I have very carefully
perused the affiaav!ts on this part of the case, 8114 I am fully
satisfied that no order for commitment c be founded upon
it. Any comn ents upon these affidavi would involve obser-
vations calculated to affect the char ers of the parties, and I
therefore abstain front commer s' tg on them." His honour
also stated, referring to a safe de according to Tann's Patent,
" This safe is proved to ha been manufactured according to
' Tann's Patent,' and tl (region, therefore, is, whether the
manufacture under 'l' n's Patent' is an.infringement of Mil-
ner's patent. This estion hss not been tried in the action at
law for it is in pro before me that the safes which formed the
*subject of that /tt'''
tion were not manufactured according to
Tann's Patent, nd, therefore, if I am to make an order for
commi•ting t s defendant I must do so on my own opinion,
unaided by nything which has passed at law. lam not pre-
pared to go that length; it would be to affirm that Mitter's
patent applies in all cases where the materials interposed
between the boxes evolve steam on being affected by heat.
which is certainly not a necessary construction of Milner's
patent, nor, as I think, a necessary corollary from what has
already passed at law. The case cannot. I think, be put more
favourably for the plaintiff than to suppose that the action, in
this case, which was brought against the defendant had been
brought against Tann, and that the action having succeeded,
this bill had been filed to restrain Tann from manufacturing
according to his patent ; and in that position of the case I
think the court would not have granted an injunction until after
a further trial at law, even independently of the plaintiff's
conduct in having permitted Tann so long to continue manu-
facturing under h's Latent. and certainly not after such a long
acquiescence by the plaintiff ; and, yet, what the plaintiff tittles
by this motion is in effect to stop Tann's trade, by committing
Tann's agent." .1. G. Harrison and Co. have only to add in
conclusion, that until Mr. Milner proves that Tann's patent is
an infringement of his patent, he is hound, in common honesty,
not to publish statements which convey most inaccurate im-
pressions. Messrs. Tann have used their patent 7ith. success
for upwards of six years, without a word ofeomplaint front Mr.
Milner or any other party ; amid,. up to the present moment, all
the proceedings taken by Mr. Milner have failed to invalidate
" Tann's Patent."
