turns, in the fern house; eight 1-inch 

 flows and three 1-inch returns in the 

 carnation house, and three 2-inch and 

 two 1-inch flows, with six 1-inch re- 

 turns, in the geranium house. If there 

 is no glass in the outer walls, the 

 amount of radiation in the fern and 

 chrysanthemum houses is not far from 

 correct. If there are only three 1-inch 

 returns in the carnation house, as we 

 infer is the case, there should be an in- 

 crease to the extent of not less than 

 two returns. However, the arrangement 

 of the pipes is decidedly faulty. 



While 1-inch pipes may be used for 

 Bteam returns in houses 100 feet long, 

 we prefer to use l^-inch pipes in 

 houses of that length. For low-pressure 

 steam it will be advisable to use a 

 21/4-inch flow pipe for each house if a 

 single flow is used, but if it is desired 

 to utilize the 2-inch pipe now in the 

 house, a 2-inch flow pipe may be 

 placed upon each wall plate or on the 

 purlin posts. To carry a temperature 

 of 55 degrees in zero weather, we would 

 use eleven 1-inch returns if there is no 

 glass in the side walls, or twelve re- 

 turns with thirty inches of glass. In 

 case 11/4 -inch returns are used, we 

 would install nine returns if there is no 

 glass in the walls, or ten returns with 

 glass. 



For 65 degrees in the fern house, 

 three additional returns will be neces- 

 sary. One or two of the returas may 

 be under each gutter, as piopbsed. It 

 is hardly feasible to carry the returns 

 over the end door. 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



The end of June usually marks the 

 close of the busy season for florists, but 

 the cool weather has kept stock in good 

 condition and business has been excel- 

 lent, which arouses hope that it will 

 continue for a while longer, for this 

 has been a record-breaking season. 



There are still plenty of good flowers. 

 These, together with asters, which are 

 expected soon, and the early planted 

 roses, will provide the market with a 

 plentiful supply of stock. 



Various Notes. 



Several employees of various stores 

 started on their vacations June 30. 



The McCallum Co. announced a pic- 

 nic for its employees at its establish- 

 ment at Harmony July 4 and invited 

 all of the Pittsburgh florists. 



There were two heavy wind storms 

 with an accompaniment of hail last 

 week, but no damage was reported. 



Edward Ludwig, son of E. C. Ludwig, 

 has enlisted in the United States Army 

 Hospital Corps and expects to go to 

 the front soon. He is a graduate of Cor- 

 nell University. Clarke. 



WILMINGTON, DEL. 



The Wilmington Florists' Club, which 

 was organized in March, 1917, held its 

 third monthly meeting June 25 at the 

 home of William N. Potter, Twenty- 

 ninth and Boulevard streets. The club 

 at present has no home and meets with 

 its members. After the business meet- 

 ing, an entertainment committee served 

 ice cream so long as the members could 

 eat. The next meeting will be held 

 July 30 at the home of J. Elmer Betty. 

 The club has proved to be of great bene- 

 fit to the florists of Wilmington.
