the liouse less than 300 square feet of 

 radiating surface, while 400 square feet 

 should be provided in order to maintain 

 6;j degrees, without forcing the fire. 

 Although the addition of the two flow 

 pipes will still leave the amount of 

 radiation under what it should be, we 

 believe that it will be sufficient to keep 

 up the desired temperature except in a 

 few extreoiely cold nights during the 

 winter, and then a little extra atten- 

 tion is all that will be needed after the 

 changes suggested in the flows and re- 

 turns are made. 



It the flows run downhill and the 

 highest point in each flow pipe is con- 

 nected with a pipe leading to the ex- 

 pansion tank, there will be no occasion 

 for adding air valves. 



FOUR CONNECTED HOUSES. 



Please state the number and size of 

 hot water pipes that will be required 

 to iieat four houses, each 16xG0, to a 

 temperature of 60 degrees when the out- 

 side temperature is 15 degrees below 

 zero. The houses are connected and 

 run north and south, with the boiler 

 shed at the north end. They have 4-foot 

 side walls, with eighteen inches of glass 

 in the east wall; the west wall is solid. 

 The boiler is in an 8-foot cellar. 



F. W.— Ind. 



If the houses have a center bench, 

 under which bottom heat is desired, we 

 would use three 2io-inch flow pipes and 

 !^ix I'-inch returns in all except the east 

 house, in which we would use seven re- 

 turns. Carry one of the flows upon eacK 

 of tlie ])lates and the other two feet 

 under the ridge. There should be two 

 •returns upon each wall, or under the 

 side benches, with three returns on the 

 east side of the east house, and two 

 otlior returns under the center bench. 



If solid beils are used, the two middle 

 returns may be in the walks. Or, if 

 for any reason heating pipes are not 

 desired in the middle of the houses, we 

 would use only two L'lo-inch flows on 

 the walls, with seven or eight 2-inch 

 returns. (!ood results could also be ob- 

 taineil with I'^-inch returns, using 

 eiglit or nine in each house.

The Market. 



Trade is heavy and has been during 

 tlie last two weeks, with stock scarce in 

 all lines. Roses liave been badly off 

 crop, and there is a scramble at all times 

 for them, especially for Ophelia, which 

 is the leader in the market. Carnations 

 are coming in hea\ily, but owing to the 

 scarcity of other stock there is not

 tains an even, con-

 every drop of the

 up your steam lines, 

 directly back to the 

 boiler while it is hot. 

 You not only get 

 better flowers, but you 

 also save a large per
