STEAM HEATING. 



Has auyoue in the tiower business ex- 

 perimented ^vit^l steam heating otherwise 

 than with the gravity system'? We are 

 thinking of building a boiler pit and the 

 same will have to be blasted in the solid 

 reek. We would like to know if anyone 

 has experimented with steam boilers by 

 placing them on top of the siound. 



b. B. H. 



There are many ranges of glass heated 

 by steam with boilers on a level with 

 the houses. With such arrangements 

 steam traps are used and the return 

 water discharged into cisterns or reser- 

 voirs sunk below the level of the returns, 

 from which it is pumped back into the 

 boilers. For this purpose boiler feed 

 pumps can be used or the returns may 

 discharge directly into a tank or reservoir 

 to which a steam trap, which works on 

 the vacuum principle, is attached, which 

 will return the hot water directly to the 

 boilers. For plants which are small 

 the steam trap is very satisfactory when 

 there is considerable drop in the returns, 

 and when the boiler pressure is main- 

 tained above eight pounds. Few of the 

 traps work on a pressure of less than 

 six pounds. For very low pressures there 

 is no successful system which returns 

 the water to the boilers except the grav- 

 itv system unless other power, such as 

 electricity or an auxiliary steam boiler, 

 is maintained to run a pump to feed the 

 return water into the boilers. If it is 

 practicable, maintain a gravity svstem.

DOBBS FERRY, N. Y. 



The regular meeting of the Dobbs 

 Ferry Horticultural Association was held 

 Saturday evening, February 27, with 

 President Henderson in the chair. There 

 was a prize given for the best flowering 

 plant grown in not more than a 6-ineh 

 pot, which was awarded to C. Wilson, for 

 Primula obconica. Other exhibitors were 

 Mr. Kasberg, Mr. Boreham, J. Bradley 

 and T. D. Lee. Mr. Noodle and Mr. 

 Knifl were the judges. An interesting 

 discussion followed on the culture of the 

 exhibits, in which almost all the members 

 present took part. A schedule was made 

 for the exhibition to be held on Tuesday, 

 June 14. It was voted that this exhibi- 

 tion should be free to the public and that 

 exhibits should be sold on consent of the 

 exhibitor and the proceeds be given to 

 the Dobbs Ferry Hospital Association. ; 

 A. C. Field, Dr. Todd and B. Huston 

 were elected honorary members.
