permanent use a concrete wall will be 

 cheaper in the end. 



Just how high the greenhouse walls 

 should be made will depend upon the 

 uses to which the house is to be put. For 

 geraniums and ordinary bedding plants 

 it need not be more than two feet, but 

 for single-stem chrysanthemum plants, 

 grown in the beds, it should not be less 

 than four feet. Two to three feet would 

 answer for ordinary mums in pots. 



Cut off the plates at the same angle 

 as the slope of the roof and use a plate 

 2x6 inches, with the outer edge one inch 

 outside the siding. Use a strip 1x6 

 inches for the ridge and place 2x3-inch 

 rafters so that they will come under the 

 edges of the sashes. Every third sash 

 should be hinged at the lower end and 

 hand lifters should be provided. The 

 cracks between the sashes should be 

 battened to keep out the rain and pre- 

 vent the loss of heat. 



If possible, the hot water heater 

 should be sunk below the bottom of the 

 walk. For a temperature of 50 degrees 

 we would run a 2-inch flow upon each 

 plate and connect each flow with two 

 114-inch returns carried on the sides 

 of the walks. If the walls are more 

 than two feet in height, we would carry 

 the returns on the wall posts and use 

 an additional return upon each wall. 

 Run all pipes downhill and connect 

 the highest point in each flow pipe with 

 the expansion tank. 



LINCOLN, NEB. 



The Nebraska State Florists' Society 

 will hold its annual meeting in Lincoln, 

 Tuesdav, Januarv 16, at the Lindell 

 hotel. 



President Ed Williams, of Grand Is- 

 land, says to non-members: "We have 

 started something out here that you are 

 interested in, and we earnestly hope 

 that you can cooperate with us. Follow- 

 ing our regular program, in conjunction 

 with the State Horticultural Society, 

 we will have a tri-state session for Ne- 

 braska, Iowa and Missouri — a get-to- 

 gether meeting. We will have repre- 

 sentatives from each state express views 

 dealing with cost of production, credits, 

 compensation, etc. We, as florists, have 

 advanced along the line of producing, 

 but we have failed in the getting of 

 proper returns. Our discounts are larger 

 than on any other legitimate business. 

 Many subjects, too numerous to men- 

 tion, will be discussed for the benefit 

 of those present." 



A banquet will follow the meeting.
