The Weekly Florists' Review, 



Febeuaky 12, 1903. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The weather has been aa disagreeable 

 and undesirable for growing as it pos- 

 sibly could be. No sunshine; nothing 

 but dark, lowering skies, light snows 

 and continued cold weather, until, at 

 the present moment, it is raining. 



Carnations are mostly off crop, and 

 roses very much so; demand is far in 

 excess of supply, and prices remain stiff 

 and higher than they ever were at this 

 time of the year. Carnations run from 

 35 cents to 75 cents per doz. Most of 

 the ordinary stock brings 50 cents. 



Ordinary loses bring from $1 to $1.50 

 per doz.; American Beauties from $1.50 

 to $5 per doz., and there are very few at 

 that. 



Violets are plentiful, but hold up well 

 in price, especially white ones. Camp- 

 bell do not sell as well as the darker 

 ones, which are very fine now. 



Romans, valley and paper whites 

 are in good supply, and sell at 50 cents 

 per doz. 



A petition is being circulated for sig- 

 nature, remonstrating against the exces- 

 sive express rates. Every florist is sign- 

 ing it. Tlie glass question is being agi- 

 tated, with a really good chance of 

 something being accomplished. Geo. F. 

 Crabb had an interview with Wm. Alden 

 Smith, congressman, who assured him 

 he was personally favorable to having 

 Ihe tariff removed from glass, and would 

 do all he could for us; but holds out 

 little hope of anything being accomp- 

 lished at this short session ; but the 

 matter will get under good headway 

 and at the next session will have a bet- 

 ter show. G. F. C. 



RADIATION. 



Will you kindly tell me the "ratio 

 of radiation" of greenhouse heating for 

 hot water and steam; that is, how many 

 feet (cubic) of space a foot of radiation 

 will heat in this part of the country. 

 In making changes it often becomes nec- 

 essary to repipe a house, and would like 

 to know so that we can figure from an 

 expert's standpoint instead of guessing 

 what will be needed. 



C. M. NiUFFEn. 



Springfield, Ohio. 



Your correspondent does not give suf- 

 ficient data to admit of a definite an- 

 swer. 



Assuming that his greenhouses are 

 commercial houses of ordinary good con- 

 struction, well glazed and that he desires 

 a night temperature of 55 degrees, in fig- 

 uring for water, he can assume one foot 

 of radiation to every three feet of glass 

 surface plus one foot of radiation for 

 every sixteen square feet of wood side 

 walls exposed to the outer atr; tor Tow 

 pressure steam, figure one foot of sur- 

 face to every seven of glass plus one 

 for every thirty feet of wood side walls. 



These proportions will apply in gen- 

 eral to houses of ordinary dimensions, 

 some allowance must be made in consid- 

 eration of peculiar or special surround- 

 ing conditions, also in consideration of 

 the temperature at which the water or 

 steam is intended to circulate.
