BOILER AND PIPING. 



I have a boiler with 17 3-inch flues 

 .5 ft. long. Would that be sufficient to 

 heat a house 16x80 ft. to 60 degrees and 

 a violet pit 4 ft. wide and the length 

 of the house, down here in Texas where 

 the thermometer very seldom registers 

 as low as zero and some winters the cold- 

 est weather is only a slight freeze? 



I intend using about 350 feet of 3- 

 ineh pipe in main house and 160 ft. of 

 li^-inch pipe in violet bed. Is that 

 about right? Would my boiler heat any 

 more than above space? There would be 

 about 2,000 ft. of glass exposed. Will heat 

 with water. 



Tex.\s. 



Replying to "Texas" he, unfortunate- 

 ly, does not state the grate area con- 

 tained in the boiler, but assuming that 

 the grate is in proportion to the amount 

 of flue surface he quotes, the boiler 

 will have capacity to heat the house he 

 describes comfortably. The 16-ft. wide 

 house should have not less than five lines 

 of 3-inch pipes, in fact, it would be safer 

 to put six lines, putting three lines un- 

 Uer each of the side benches, one flow 

 and two returns; this will be liberal 

 surface for the ordinary mild winter 

 in that latitude, and will be sufficient to 

 maintain the desired temperature in a 

 sudden severe cold snap with a little 

 stronger firing. The amount of pipe 

 contemplated in the violet bed will give 

 the desired results.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



Trade in general is quiet here witli 

 the exception of an odd funeral design. 

 Good carnations are very scarce and as- 

 ters are being used as a substitute. 



Mr. CoUis, of Chicopee Falls, is going 

 to erect a new carnation house, 18x110 

 feet. 



Albert A. Smith, of Ludlow, will add 

 an extension of 70 feet to his carnation 

 house. 



Holyoke as well as Springfield antici- 

 pates an abundance of carnations for 

 the coming season, owing to the many 

 new houses that are being built in the 

 surrounding towns. Ino. 



BEGONIA LORRAINE. 



Replying to T. D. B., the blooms need 

 not be picked off the young plants. You 

 will find several comprehensive articles 

 on the culture of this begonia in previous 

 issues of the Review. 



Boulder, Colo. — The first mid-summer 

 meeting of the Colorado State Horti- 

 cultural Society was held here Julv 23 

 and 24. 



Rochester, N. a. — W. A. R. More-
