the side near the top. When the expan- 

 sion tank is connected with the main 

 return, in case the water boils there ia 

 a back pressure on the return, which 

 tends to check the circulation and etill 

 further increase the difficulty. This is 

 particularly likely to occur when the 

 boiler is too large for the radiation. 



For the hotbed we would prefer to 

 use two 2-inch returns. These may be 

 connected with the 2%-inch flow pipe 

 on the plate nearest the hotbed. Pro- 

 vided a temperature more or less than 

 55 degrees is desired, it is merely neces- 

 sary to increase or lessen the number of 

 the returns, one return making a differ- 

 ence of about 5 degrees. 



CEOMWELL, CONN. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., is cutting fine 

 freesias in quantity, which find a ready 

 Bale. Of the 500,000 planted this season, 

 approximately one-fifth have been cut. 

 About 75,000 rose plants are already out 

 of the grafting frames and grafting is 

 now proceeding at the rate of 10,000 

 plants per day; 7,000 own-root cuttings 

 are placed in the sand daily. Among 

 the new carnations Belle "Washburn is' 

 doing splendidly. There is not a split 

 flower to be found of the variety, and 

 as large a stock as possible is being 

 worked up. For the benefit of the unmar- 

 ried employees, especially those from 

 out of town, A. N. Pierson, Inc., is 

 building a boarding house to accommo- 

 date about thirty-five men. It will be 

 equipped with all modern conveniences. 

 At the present cost of living few fam- 

 ilies are willing to take boarders. 



Eobert Karlstrom is still laid up with 

 neuralgia. He has been under the doc- 

 tor's care ever since his return from a 

 western trip December 15. 



Victor Streckfus, son of Hugo Strock- 

 fus, of Syracuse, N. Y., after seven 

 months of training on the Mexican bor- 

 der, has returned to the florists' busi- 

 ness. He now is getting practical expe- 

 rience in rose growing at the Cromwell 

 Gardens. R- C. S. 



DETROIT, MICH. 



Last week stock was hard to obtain, 

 except carnations and, perhaps, violets. 

 American Beauties are few and the 

 price touches $9 for the specials. Choice 

 peas arrive each day and all roses clear 

 at fancy prices. 



Hugo Schroeter 's window representa- 

 tive of the auto show was a clever af-
