The Florists^ Review 



March 20, 1919. 



the sluggish circulation and |^he boiling 

 over o£OTe watei" is that the returns are 

 too IjjlMb;^ sett^rO' a good circulation. 

 They^Spicwfey <ta4l, t^e overcome in part 

 by '^sing the system and relying on 

 thef ieity water systeqi tor expansion, 

 but* c^re K]!l!ould be take?n ib see that the 

 service valve is not closed so long as the 

 expansion tank is cut off. 



,The ptoper way to remedy the diffi- 

 culty is to raise the level of the returns 

 two or, better yet, three feet. If the 

 slope of tlie pipes is uniform it is not 

 necessary to have more than four inches 

 of fall in the length of the houses, and 

 such a change of slant would be of some 

 benefit. 



While a satisfactory circulation can 

 generally be secured when there is a 

 slight difference in the level of the re- 

 turns in the different houses, it is better 

 to have them on practically the same 

 level. • 



While two 3-inch flows might be used 

 in the new house 30x66, which is to be 

 heated to 60 degrees, we would prefer 

 to use five 2 1^ -inch flow pipes and fifteen 

 2-inch returns. In the house 12x80 feet, 

 to be heated to 45 degrees, the suggested 

 radiation would give good results, al- 

 though two 2%-inch flows and four 2- 

 inch returns would answer if they can 

 be placed one foot above the top of the 

 boiler. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Spring flowers are coming into the 

 market in quantities sufficient for the 

 trade. Prices, though higher than nor- 

 mal, are considerably lower than they 

 were a few weeks ago. A few azaleas 

 are coming into the market. There is 

 likely to be a big shortage in these this 

 year, however. St. Patrick's day flow- 

 ers and novelties had a fair sale. 



' Various Notes. 



Chris Penek, head of the Eosery Floral 

 Co., Market street, near Broad street,

 monia after a week's illness. Charles
