How many greenhouses 75 feet long. 

 10 feet to ridse in center, even span, 4 

 feet side walls, east end butting up to 

 potting shed, north end Ijoarded up 

 with Norway spruce hedge 1-") feet high 

 next to it, houses even span connected 

 at gutters, can be heated by a hori- 

 zontal boiler that is i! feet long, 2V2 

 feet in diameter with 22 flues, o inches 

 in diameter outside measure- 

 ments, pipes to be 3 inches in dia- 

 meter, return pipes I14, hung on side 

 walls, solid beds, r, inches high on 

 ground, grate 2 feet by 2 feet (i inches, 

 glass all double thick. .1. <'. B. 



N. Y. 



J. C. B. omits to say what the width 

 of his houses is, but considering the 

 heights of the sides and ridye given, 

 I take it that they are about IS feet 

 wide, in which case the boiler he de- 

 scribes should give a temperature of 

 .">(» to ."1 degrees in about IT.'i feet of 

 such house, and if a temperature of 4."i 

 to "lO degrees only is required, it will 

 heat about 2(Hl lineal feet of house, al- 

 lowing a reasonable reserve of power, 

 necessary for economical firing.

ERIE, PA. 



On the Tth of this month Mr. H. A. 

 Niemeyer was made the victim of the 

 well known palm swindle. A young 

 man claiming to be in the employ of 

 one of Mr. Niemeyer's customers 

 called at the store and ordered 18 

 palms sent to the house to be used for 

 decorating. The man met the driver at 

 the house and helped unload them. As 

 soon as the wagon was gone he began 

 delivering them to the people to whom 

 he had previously sold them. 



The trick was not discovered until 

 the next day when the driver called 

 for them and learned that the people 

 knew nothing about them. Fortunate- 

 ly they were all sold in the neighbor- 

 hood and that Mr. N. was able to lo- 

 cate all of them and reclaim them. The 

 people were willing to return them as 

 they didn't want any stolen prono'-'v 

 and Mr. N. did not have to lose any- 

 thing, excepting a little time. When 

 the trick is worked right, even the 

 most careful is likely to be taken in. 



The same man tried to get a dia- 

 mond from a jeweler in a similar way, 

 but failed. A. F. .1. BAUR.
