The Weekly Florists' Review. 



PLAN FOR PIPING. 

 I will build a house 20x100, even span, 

 running north ami south, side ventila- 

 tion. This is to be heated with hot water 

 but with no pipes under the center 

 ( 'an I run three lines of 4-inch 

 pipe from the northwest corner clear 

 around the house to return to the boiler 

 on the northwest side? "Will it do to 

 sink the pipes at the door in the south 

 end of the house, or how would it be 

 best to get a night temperature of 55 

 degrees at 15 degrees below zero out- 

 doors.' Which is the safest plan, to 

 hinge ventilator sash at ridge or leader.' 



i windy place. Boiler will be 

 under potting shed at north end of 

 house and both ends of the greenhouse 

 will be glass. How should the boiler 

 be placed? A. W. 



The pipe arrangement suggested is not 

 desirable on account of the proposed dip 

 at the south door. If the sill of the 

 south door be raised to clear the pipes 

 when passing around on an oven grade 

 there is no objection to the pipes being 

 run from tin- nort hwi-M corner around 

 the south end to the northeast corner and 

 back again on same lines, provided that 

 they lie so graded that they are at least 

 one foot higher at the northeast cor- 

 ner than at the northwest. Six lines of 

 4-inch pipes will not give a night tem- 

 perature of 55 degrees in a house twenty 

 feet wide with a 15 below zero tempera- 

 ture outside. If the house has glass on 

 the roof only, at least eight lines of 

 pipes will be necessary and if there be 

 glass on the side walls more pipe must 

 be used. Ventilators should be hung 

 from the ridge, using galvanized 

 wrought-steei hinges with brass centers. 

 The boiler cellar should be deep enough 



least eighteen inches below the green- 

 house floor, but a little deeper will be 

 advantageous. Henry W. Gibbons. 



THE MILWAUKEE SOUVENIR.' 



The Milwaukee souvenir is a credit to 

 its publishers, one of the handsomest 

 pieces of printing ever issued for such 

 a purpose. It contains many fine views 

 about the convention city and much 

 general information. It seems certain 

 to be, to date, the record convention 

 in the histon of the S. A. F.
