GREENHOUSE CHIMNEY. 



Please tell me the best kind of a 

 brick stack to build for a small green- 

 house of 7,000 square feet of glass. I 

 know the size and height but cannot 

 decide upon the manner of building. 



H. H. G. 



A chimney for successful heating in 

 connection with 7,000 feet of glass 

 should have a flue area of about 

 140 inches, or 12x12 inches, extending 

 to a height of about 22 feet above the 

 top of the boiler. The flue opening 

 should be surrounded by 8 inches of 

 brick work its entire height, the bricks 

 being laid close with cement mortar, all 

 joints being cleanly struck both inside 

 and outside. This makes a good, serv- 

 iceable and durable flue and such as 1 

 have used exclusively on small works for 

 the past twenty years. 



If desired some form of flue lining 

 may be used. These linings add some- 

 what to the efficiency of the draft on 

 account of their smooth inside finish ; 

 they also allow of a much more careless 

 or cheaper surrounding brick work, as 

 they reduce the tendency of leakage of 

 cold air into the flue between imper- 

 fectly jointed brick. In general prac- 

 tice, however, I find a little extra care 

 in the laying of the brick work and the 

 clean striking of interior joints leaves 

 nothing more to be desired.

KALAMAZOO, MICH. 



Trade during Memorial week was the 

 best in the annals of floriculture in the 

 city. The supjily of roses, carnations 

 and other stock was large and the qual- 

 ity flrst class, but the demand was so 

 enormous that there was not anything like 

 enough, the supply giving out early on 

 Thursday. Prices all round were good, 

 carnations retailing at 40 to 60 cents 

 per dozen, roses at from $1..50 per dozen 

 up, according to grade. The sales in 

 bedding stock, pot plants, hanging bas- 

 kets, bouquets, etc., put all previous rec- 

 ords in the shade. 



The Dunkley Floral Co. report this as 

 their best Memorial Day trade. They 

 were pretty well cleaned out by Friday 

 morning. 



G. Van Bochove & Bro., while having 

 the largest cut in their record, had a 

 hard time in satisfying the demands of 

 their ever increasing list of customers. 



The reports from the north end of the 

 city are also satisfactory. 



Abraham Grofvert, rose grower at G. 

 Van Bochove & Bro. 's, has been in the 

 city hospital for some time. He had to 

 undergo a serious operation for an in- 

 ternal trouble. He is now nearly con- 

 valescent and expects to be at his old 

 post in a couple of weeks. 



Mr. Wm. Oliver, our landscaper, has 

 just finished laying out the grounds of 

 the Charlevoix Home Association Park 

 at Charlevoix, for which he is receiv- 

 ing great credit. R. 



Port HxmoN, Mich. — C. W. Asman has 

 opened a floral store at 319 Huron ave- 

 nue. 



Champaign, III. — C. C. Ferdinand- 

 sen is arranging to build three more new 

 greenhouses. 



Randolph, Vt. — The firm of Burnell 

 & Totman has succeeded to the business 

 of H. M. Totman.
