ASPECT. 



1 would like to ask if it would be ad- 

 visable to build such a house as is rec- 

 omnii'uded by Peter Fisher or Win. Sim 

 in a jdace where the west wind has full 

 sweej). havini; the houses stand as they 

 reeomniend. or would it be better to build 

 so the houses will run east and west, with 

 the boiler shed on the west end? What 

 style of house would be best for this lo- 

 cation? What is the best size and ar- 

 rangement of pipes in such a house where 

 the thermometer goes to 15 to 20 de- 

 grees below zero? X. 



Under the circumstances it would be 

 all right to have the house running east 

 and west, with the boiler shed on the 

 west end. The correspondent does not say 

 what he intends to use the house for, or 

 what temperature he wishes to maintain, 

 neither does he state whether he intends 

 to use hot water or steam, so that it is 

 hard to give the size and arrangement of 

 pipes. Personally I prefer hot water but 

 some give preference to steam and for 

 some crops the latter may be better, only 

 it requires closer attention, and a night 

 attendant must l>e kept, which incurs an 

 e.xtra expense that is only warranted 

 where the range is large. For a house 

 3.3x.300 feet, which I presume is the one 

 meant, thirty lines of 2ii;-inch pipes 

 would, under average circumstances, be 

 necessary with hot water to maintain a 

 temperature' of 60 degrees during severe 

 weather. These would be best a'rranged 

 in coils of six, making three flows and 

 three returns in each coil, and for a house 

 of that length should be connected to the 

 boiler with pipes not less than six inches 

 for flow and return, or two 4-inch pipes 

 could be used for flow and same for re- 

 t'Tn. W. S. C. 



OMAHA. 



Spring has been very late, but has at 

 last opened and prospects are very good. 

 Cut flower trade is fair, with supply 

 about equal to demand and quality up to 

 the top notch. 



A local department store had a "grand 

 sale" on the remnants of W. J. Hesser's 

 palm gardens. In quantity it comprised 

 several carloads. " J. H. B.

THE MOST VALUABLE VIOLET TO GROW. 



WHILE DOUBLE VIOLETS have been "dumped" in the leadine cities, good singles 

 have been biinging good returns to the grower. The popularity of this Violet is astonishing. 

 I have sold in the city of Boston this winter 1 300,000 blooms without having to make any 

 sacrifice. Vou can do the same if you have good stock. You cannot afford to have poor 

 stock. 1 have simplv the best stock in the country. I will send out in May strong, trans- 

 Iilanted stock for which I am now bookini; orders at 



$2.00 per 100 ; 815.00 per lOOO : 500 at 1000 rate.
