"by running a 2-incli flow pipe on the 

 outer wall of each house, at the plate, 

 and another on the posts between the 

 two houses. With each of these flow 

 pipes feed two 2-inch returns. If the 

 wall which contains two feet of glass is 

 much exposed, it will be well to put in 

 an additional return upon that side. 

 The return pipes may be under the 

 benches or on the walls, as will be most 

 convenient. 



For the 24-foot house there should be 

 a 21^-inch flow pipe upon each wall 

 plate and another two or three feet be- 

 low the ridge. For 60 degrees use 

 eleven 2-inch returns, placing three or 

 four under each of the side benches or 

 on the side walls, and the others under 

 the middle bench or benches. If 50 

 degrees will answer for this house, only 

 eight returns, in addition to the three, 

 flow pipes, will be needed. 



A boiler rated for 1,000 square feet 

 will easily heat the three houses, but 

 if more houses are to be added within 

 a year, it will be well to put in a boiler 

 large enough to handle them also. 



BOCHESTEE, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Though August is usually a quiet 

 month, it is not so this year. Most of 

 the houses here are kept quite busy 

 with funeral work. Flowers are ex- 

 tremely scarce and it is a problem to 

 know just what to do. During the last 

 few days the demand has been larger 

 than the daily consignments. None of 

 the local growers is cutting anything 

 like the quantity that is usual at this 

 time of the year. Outdoor flowers in 

 many places are a fizzle and little first- 

 class stock reaches the market. For- 

 tunately, there are some good crops of 

 gladioli and these bring a fairly good 

 figure. Asters are poor with most grow- 

 ers and not at all plentiful. Some sweet 

 peas are indifferent, but the usual run 

 of them is poor, being short-stemmed 

 and spotty. The supply is limited. 



Small quantities of snapdragons and 

 Shasta daisies reach us and are bought 

 quickly. Heliotropes, gaillardias, core- 

 opsis and candytuft are exceedingly use- 

 ful these days for basket work, and 

 baskets of flowers in this city are pop- 

 ular. The supply of roses also is limit- 

 ed, but they are of fairly good quality 

 and move easily. Valley is on hand, 

 but the demand is not large. Most car- 

 nations are inferior and many growers 

 are not cutting until the new crop ar- 

 rives. Greens are plentiful. 



Various Notes.

 clude the representative of the Brush
