The Florists' Review 



Afbil 10, 1919. 



returns, we would suggest putting in a 

 2% -inch overhead flow in the rose house, 

 with ten 2-ineh returns if there is no 

 glass in the side walls, and not over 

 five feet of well-built wooden walls. 

 For each two and one-half feet of glass 

 in the walls we would add another re- 

 turn. We would prefer to use 1^4 -inch 

 pipe for the returns, and would sub- 

 stitute fourteen pipes of that size for the 

 , ten 2-inch. In the carnation houses, if 

 they are twenty-five feet in width, we 

 would use one 2 ^^ -inch overhead flow 

 pipe and seven 2-inch or ten 1^4 -inch re- 

 turns. 



We would place a portion of the re- 

 turns under the benches, but just how 

 many should be used in that way will de- 

 pend upon the number and width of the 

 benches. As a rule we would place 

 about one-third of the returns under the 

 benches in houses from twenty-five to 

 thirty feet in width. Thus, in the rose 

 house we would use about four of the 

 2-inch pipes under the benches or 

 from six to eight of the 1^-inch re- 

 turns, depending upon the number of 

 the benches and whether there is glass 

 in the side walls. We would place the 

 flow about two feet below the ridge. 



The size of the main will be deter- 

 mined in part by the distance from the 

 boiler to the greenhouses and by the 

 thoroughness with which it is insulated. 

 If the houses are practically of the size 

 mentioned above, we would use a 4-inch 

 main, with a 3-inch pipe for the con- 

 densed steam, covering both carefully 

 to hold the heat. Particularly when ex- 

 haust steam is used, it is desirable to 

 be able to return the water by gravity. 

 If this cannot be secured, a steam pump 

 or trap should be used. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



An exhibit of polyanthus by William 

 MacKay, gardener for H. A. C. Taylor, 

 was awarded a gratuity at the regular 

 meeting of the Newport Horticultural 

 Society in Music hall last week, and a 

 gratuity and cultural certificate were 

 given to Charles Philpott for an exhibit 

 of Princess of Wales violets. Plans for 

 the annual shows during the coming 

 spring, summer and fall were discussed. 

 It was announced as probable that at 

 the next meeting there will be an illus- 

 trated lecture by E. I. Farrington, of 

 the Arnold Arboretum, 



Andrew K. McMahon has served thir- 

 ty-five years as superintendent of the 

 Island cemetery, according to a report 

 made at the recent annual meeting of
