bit him, and at In ^t accounts the poor 

 bear was alive and not expected to sur- 

 vive Till' most probable account til itn.-i-

 he accommodatingly held his finger be-

 ehevt upon it. His finger looks that way. 



The baseball microbe infests the busi- 

 ness but not seriously. Elliott's Brigh- 

 ton team gave the Waban Roses a run of 

 15 to 11 and his New Hampshire boys 

 gave a Dover tram instruction to the 

 tune of 1) to 8. He is soon to match his 

 two teams together, ami watch the sparks

Demise of Henry Burt. 



Henry Burt, one of the leading flor- 

 ists of the city died on the evening of 

 July 19. Mr. Burt had been in poor 

 health for a few weeks past, but death 

 came unexpectedly. He was able to be 

 up and about the house all day and was 

 apparently in better spirits than usual. 

 He had eaten a hearty supper and had 

 just retired when he was seized by an 

 attack of heart failure from which be 

 never rallied. His daughter and a phy- 

 sician were immediately sent for. but be- 

 fore they could arrive death had result- 

 ed. 



Mr. Burt, was 78 years of age. was 

 born in Sanderhurst, England, and came 

 to this country about fifty-two years 



ducted a vegetable farm in the vicinity 

 of this city and his person and market 

 earls wen- well known all over town at 

 that time. A little more than thirty 



florist which he continued to conduct up 



to the time of his death. In this busi- 

 ness he became even better known than 

 before and won a wide reputation, both 

 as a successful business man and grower. 

 Mr. Burt is survived by his wife, who 

 was formerly Miss Harriet Barnes, also 

 of England, to whom he was married 

 fifty-two years ago. There are also two 

 sons, Alfred Burt of this city and Al- 

 bert Burt of Buffalo, and a daughter, 

 Mrs. L. Light of this city. 



PLAN FOR PIPING. 

 Where I am building, the temperature 

 falls to 20 to 30 below zero every win- 

 ter and cold winds are strong from the 

 northwest. I want to heat the houses 

 by hot water, so that it will not be 

 neessnry for someone to stay up all night. 

 I enclose sketch of the houses and would 

 like to know how to pipe and the cost 

 of a boiler which will do the work. 

 W. H. Leaking. 



I would place the boiler cellar at the 

 west of the potting shed and from here 

 run a separate set of 2-inch flow and re- 

 turn mains to the palm bouse, connect- 

 ing them In eleven lines of 2-inch pipes 

 in coils of six (three flow- and three re- 

 turns': under each of the two side 

 benches. A 6-inch flow main should start 

 from the boiler and extend overhead 

 northward through the palm house till

PETERSON NURSERY, a« Chicago.

in line with the ridge of the eastern 

 plant house, then run south to the carna- 

 tion house, taking off a 2i-inch connec- 

 tion for the plant house, a 3-inch flow to 

 the rose house, a 3-inch flow for trie 

 smilax and plant house and continue 

 3i-inch to the carnation house. The 

 6-inch main can be reduced proportion- 

 ately ;i- the several laterals are taken off. 

 In the plant house twelve lines of 2- 

 iinli pipes, in addition to the overhead 

 main, will be needed in the rose house, 

 seventeen lines of 2 inch pipes, in the 

 smilax house fourteen lines, in the plant 

 section of the smilax house twelve lines, 



All pipes in these houses will be re- 

 turn-, and will grade downward toward 

 the west end where they will connect 

 to a return main running across the 

 ends of the houses below the floor line in 

 a northerly direction to the hoiler in 

 tin cellar. This main return will be 

 5-mch at its connection to the boiler and 

 will reduce proportionately in its run 

 south as the several laterals are con- 

 nected. The boiler cellar should be at 

 least six and one-half feet deep below 

 the Hour line of the carnation house at 

 it- western end. 



A suitable hot water boiler would cost 

 approximately $400 in Chicago. I can- 

 not estimate cost of pipes as I do not 



know the prices ruling at the nearest dis- 

 tributing center. For a range such as 

 W. H. L. describes I should be inclined to 

 use steam in preference to water heat; 

 especially in view of the extremely low 

 temperatures experienced.

PIPING. 



We have a house 16x50, north and 

 south, new and tight, no side lights but 

 glass in end. How many runs of 2-inch 

 pipe, how distributed, will be required 

 from a six horse-power horizontal boiler? 

 R. C. 



Eleven lines of 2-inch hot water pipes 

 should be placed in the sixteen feet wide 

 house, four lines being placed under 

 each of the outside benches and three 

 lines under the center bench. The flow 

 main should be taken from the top of the 

 hoiler and the return main enter the 

 boiler at or near the bottom. The top of 

 the boiler should be below the floor level 

 of the greenhouse.

 avenue, on which he will build a green- 

 house.
