The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Al'llll. 14, 1004. 



CAPACITY OF BOILER. 



We have a twenty horse-power tubiihir 

 boiler 10x3 feet with twenty-six 3-inch 

 flues. Tliis is at present lieating two 

 even-span greenhouses each 20x100 feet, 

 or about .'j.OOO feet of glass. The over- 

 lieatl flow in each house is 2%-ineh and 

 there are two coils of seven 1%-inch 

 returns in each hou.se. Hot water is 

 uscil anil .TO degiecs required at night 

 in coldest weatiier. How niucli more 

 glass will this boiler heat? L. F. 



The boiler in question will easily heat 

 Olio more house 20x100 feet with the 

 .•■■anu minimum night temperature dur- 

 ing the coldest weather. L. C. I". 



"IT IS TO LAUGH."

From ;i tiny phuit spning- from n sppd found 

 oil till- imiinmy of .in Egyptian warrior, wlio 

 lived a tlionsand .rears Itcfore the Christian era. 

 and wliicli is now liciuff iinrtvired in the florist 

 shop of M. ,V. Bowe. at No. 121t4 Broadway, 

 is expected to sprinj; one of tile rarest flowers 

 iti tile world. The seed was jriven the florist 

 by Col. r. Foster Millilien, tin- iawyer. eluii- 

 man and traveler. He ol>taincd it in Etrypt 

 twenty years ago. where it liad Iteen found in 

 the ■wrai)itinss of the minnmy iif Os-Rji. a cele- 

 brated warrior of the twenty-second dvnastv; 

 who died fH.! B. C. 



The above appeared in one of the 

 New York evening newspapers whose 

 daily circulation is ' ' veiy near a million 

 copies." Imagine the interested crowds 

 that gathered to see the wonderful littl" 

 plpnt in the florist's window. Rocke- 

 feller's violets are not in it with tlu' 

 Egyptian novelty of "B. C. 94.1." 



A GerM-\x, M. Peterseims, of Erfurt, 

 has a ''wonderful pig." like a fern ball 

 only made of terra cotta. The body is 

 furrowed and agrostis js sown in the 

 furrows and the pig filled with water. 

 Soon the grass begins to gi-ow and the 

 pig is shortly "covered with a green fur. 

 which, to the delight of the owner. Ije- 

 coines thicker day by day."
