The Weekly Florists^ Review 



Mav 12, 1904. 



New York Flower market. 



The first and most desirable floor of the Coogan Building will shortly be fitted up as a flower market. The second floor of 

 Ihis building is occupied by the New York Cut Flower Co., and the third floor is occupied by the Cut Flower Exchange. Concen- 

 tration of the wholesale portion of any business whatsoever is absolutely necessary. 



Here is an excellent chance for Commission Men, Wholesale Florists and 

 Growers to get together under one roof. 



The location is the best in the cily for the flower business and the rent is reasonable. For further particulars address 



New York.

PIPING FOR STEAM. 



We have two houses 16x100 feet, nine 

 and one-half feet to ridge, protected by 

 a shed on one side, other wall four and 

 one-half feet high with eighteen inches 

 of glass below gutter, boiler in a pit six 

 feet deep at the middle of the protected 

 side. How would you pipe for steam? 

 Would it be ad«sable to run the flow 

 pipe overhead across the two houses? 

 The houses are to be used for carnations 

 and 60 degrees will be required when it 

 is 20 to 25 below zero outside. We have 

 a lot of 2-inch pipe on hand and would 

 like to use as much of it as possible. 

 Please state amount of radiation and 

 capacity of boiler required. 



S. O. B. 



To heat the houses described to 60 de- 

 grees in cold weather at least 900 feet of 

 radiation should be provided. If 2-inch 

 pipe is used it will require a 2-ineh 

 riser under the ridge of each house and 

 seven full length returns disposed, pref- 

 erably, under the benches. Such a plan 

 contemplates 1,600 lineal feet of 2-inch 

 pipe. If it is desirable to run the main 

 riser as indicated a 3-inch pipe should 

 be provided from the boiler to a point 

 directly under the ridge of the nearest 

 house; here a 2-inch pipe should be tak- 

 en off to run to each end of the house 

 and there divide to supply the seven re- 

 turns needed in that house. The riser 

 should be continued as a 2-ineh from 

 this point to a position directly under 

 the ridge of the most distant house, 

 where it should divide into two 2-inch 

 pipes, one running to each end of this 

 house and returning in the seven 2-inch 

 returns which should be distributed so 

 that at least four of them will be under 

 the bench nearest the outside wall. The 

 grade of the main riser should be so ar- 

 ranged that it will fall to the boiler 

 from the point under the ridge of the 

 most distant house. All other flow pipes 

 should have their highest point directlv 

 over the T's, where they leave the large 

 ri^er. If the main riser is overhead as 

 indicated the feed pipes for each of the 

 houses should be supplied from the main 

 by a short pipe carrying them close to 

 the ridge directly over the main flow 

 pipe and drop from this point toward 

 e,Teh end of the house. Carry up a sepa- 

 rate pipe for each flow pipe; do not 

 carry up one and use a T at the top of 

 it Take each flow off the main flow in- 

 dependently of all others. A boiler suf- 

 ficient to carry these houses will be pro- 

 vided in one having 120 feet of heating 

 surface under five pounds pressure.

Tlie Washington Florists' Club was re- 

 organized and had a rousing meeting last 

 Wednesday evenii.g. William F. Gude 

 was elected president and F. H. Kramer 

 vece-president. Everything look>' rosy 

 for the club's future. The committee 

 which had the Philadelphia and Balti- 

 more bowling teams in charge showed the 

 visitors Washington in a sight-seeing au- 

 tomobile and then a sham battle on the 

 monument grounds. This caused the Bal- 

 timore boys to go to pieces. Seybold had 

 to be carried off the field. Tlie writer 

 lias lost tlie score, but what's the differ- 

 ence? Philadelphia did the same old 

 thing. After the game the boys told us 

 what a good time they had and how glad 

 they all were to be with us. Mr. Kramer 

 was thanked by all and given a rising 

 vote for his generosity in presenting the 

 cup, as that was the means of bringing 

 all together. After making a blushing, 

 he replied in a very neat speech in Span- 

 ish. Mr. Clark, of Clark Bros., sang a 

 Mexican ballad and Geo. Cook sang 

 "Home, Sweet Home" in German. Toast- 

 master Wm. F. Gude made a popular 

 speech on "Where is the proper place to 

 pin flowers on a lady?" a subject wdiich 

 will be taken up at the club's next meet- 

 ing. After all had had a say we clasped 

 hands and sang "Auld Lang Syne."

Spencer, Ia. — Dr. W. P. AVoodeock is 

 proprietor of the Spencer Greenhouse. 

 He began with a conservatory for pri- 

 vate use, but as there is no florist in the 

 county he found so strong a demand for 

 flowers that he was compelled to build a 

 liouse for carnations. He says that an- 

 other addition would be necessary to 

 supply the call, but he does not care to 

 develop the business.
