How high should the smokestack bet 

 ."We shall use a Kroeschell boiler, No. 

 1 or No. 2. C. G.— Tex. 



In the northern states it is preferable 

 to locate the boiler house at the north 

 end of the range, but we presume that 

 the slight shade cast by the boiler 

 house when located at the southwest 

 corner will be less objectionable in 

 Texas. Therefore, since the slope of 

 the land makes that the logical place 

 for the boiler, we will not suggest any 

 change. 



For' heating the larger houses to a 

 temperature of 50 to 55 degrees when 

 the outside temperature is 15 degrees 

 above zero, we would suggest using a 

 4-inch main upon the east wall of the 

 east house and another upon the west 

 wall of the west house, and with each 

 of these we would supply three 2%- 

 inch returns. If benches are used in 

 *hese houses, and if bottom heat is 

 iesired, run a 2^ -inch flow pipe three 

 or four feet below each ridge and con- 

 nect each of them with two 2%-inch 

 returns. If this is not feasible or de- 

 sirable, we would suggest carrying a 

 2%-inch flow pipe on the posts be- 

 tween the two houses and with this 

 feeding four 2i4-inch returns under- 

 neath. For the other house, 18x50, to 

 be heated to 60 degrees, we would run 

 a 2% -inch flow pipe on the outer wall 

 at the plate and supply four 2-inch 

 -"•turns underneath. There should also 

 he four 2-inch returns on the other side 

 **t the house; these should be con- 

 nected at the north end with the flow 

 ^)lpe in the middle house. 



in order to pipe the two 80-foot 

 tiouses in this way, it will be necessary 

 to sink the boiler so that the flow pipes 

 to those houses can be carried due east 

 from the boiler under the walks. If 

 that cannot be done, the boiler house 

 will have to be located at the south end 

 of the houses, so that the flow pipes 

 can be carried directly to the plates. 

 It would also be possible to have the 

 boiler At the north end by grading so 

 that the walks would be practically 

 level. We would make the smokestack 

 thirty to forty feet high, according to 

 surroundings, measuring from the point 

 where the smoke pipe from the boiler 

 enters. 



Elmira, N. Y.— The U. S. Cut Flower 

 Co., of which Richard King is growing 

 manager, has had a season successful 

 above the average. This is one of the 

 places where there is no fear of the fer- 

 tilizer bill and the new breaks on the 

 roses show the wisdom of the course 

 followed. 



Davenport, la. — The recent Centen- 

 nial parade was over five miles long 

 and was viewed by practically the en- 

 tire population of the Tri-Cities. For 

 ber & Bird decorated their car with 

 artificial flowers and filled it with 

 pretty girls and lilies, producing one of 

 the most pleasing pictures in the pro- 

 cession.
