The Weekly Florists^ Review.

SMOKE-STACKS. 



Would 24-mch glazed sewer tiles on a 

 good foundation make a satisfactory 

 smokestack if held together by three 1- 

 inch round rods inside the pipes, an iron 

 band being placed every five feet to hold 

 the iron rods against the pipes? And 

 if so, would it be necessary to have any 

 wire on top? Would there be any dan- 

 ger of crumbling or cracking from heat 

 of boiler? 



We are getting tired of putting up a 

 steel stack every year and painting them 

 both inside and out. We would have to 

 have a stack 40 feet high. With 24- 

 inch sewer pipe at $1 per foot and brick 

 at $10 per 1,000, which is the cheaper? 



An Idea. 



In reply to ''An Idea.'' we have occa- 

 sionally used salt glazed tile for short 

 length smoke pipes on emergency- or 

 low cost w^ork. but would not, for a 

 moment, construct a stack such as your 

 correspondent suggests, as we believe it 

 would be impossible to maintain ti^ht 

 joints and the stability of such a struct- 

 ure is open to serious question. By all 

 means, we will advise the building "of a 

 brick chimney: it is, in the end, far Ihe 

 cheaper; its life is indelinite and tlic 

 draft is increased, which means a better 

 fire with less waste of fuel.

GLASS SURFACE. 



Will you please e.\plain in your next 

 issue the proper method of figuring the 

 correct amount of glass in a greenlfouse. 

 There seem to be three different ways. 

 One is to give merely the ground sur- 

 face covered by the house. Another is 

 to add the length of the rafters on each 

 side and nniUii)ly by the length of the 

 house. Still another goes farther and 

 adds in the glass on the ends. Which 

 is correct? C. K. 



[To be technically correct, the actual 

 glass surface .should be computed, and 

 the last method comes the nearest, 

 though to be quite accurate the bead 

 of the snsh bar between the lights of 

 glass sliould \te subtracted. But few in 

 the trade take time to bother with such 

 details now and are satisfied to name 

 the amount of ground surface covered by 

 glass, which is certainly more rational 

 and conveys more definite information. 

 In the interest of unifoiniity and ac- 

 curacy we suggest that the last named 

 method be generally adopted, and that 

 instead of naming "square feet of glass'' 

 we in future say "square feet covered 

 by glass." — Ed.]
