The Florists' Review 



Apbii. 24, 19i>j. 



houses, we would use 1%-inch main re- 

 turn pipes. The returns from the op- 

 posite ends of house No. 1, and also those 

 from No. 2 and No. 3, might be united 

 into 1%-inch pipes and all of the returns 

 could be connected with the boiler 

 through a 2-inch main. 



We do not like anything smaller than 

 1-inch pipe for the coils and prefer 

 1^-inch for houses over fifty feet in 

 length. The following arrangement of 

 piping is suggested for each house: For 

 each half of house No. 1, 21x34, we 

 would use a 1%-inch main flow, carried 

 about two feet below the ridge, with 

 eleven 1-inch returns, placing six on the 

 south wall. In each of the other houses 

 the temperatures mentioned can be se- 

 cured by using one 1%-inch flow pipe, as 

 already suggested, and seven 1-inch re- 

 turns. Of the returns we would use four 

 on the north wall of houses 3 and 4, 

 while in No. 2 we would use the odd re- 

 turn on the south side, where there is 

 a short section of exposed glass wall. 



If for any reason the overhead flow 

 pipe is not desired, a 1^-inch flow may 

 be placed upon each plate.

The Market. 



Easter business was excellent and took 

 everything in the market. More stock 

 could have been used if it could have 

 been obtained. Prices were good. When 

 the warm weather is taken into con- 

 sideration, stock, as a whole, wao re- 

 markably good. 



The supply of roses is short of actual 

 needs. The same is true of carnations. 

 Easter lilies ran short for Easter, though 

 many thousands of them could have 

 been used if it had been possible to get 

 them. These flowers were cut so closely 

 for the day that they have been some- 

 what short since. Sweet peas were in 

 good supply and sold well. A limited 

 amount of bulbous stock was avail- 

 able. Snapdragons sold well and are 

 still meeting with a good market. Other 

 offerings are lily of the valley, orchids, 

 callas, rubrum lilies, mignonette, calen- 

 dulas, pansies and forget-me-nots. 



Greens of all kinds are selling well. 

 In decorative material, huckleberry is 

 finding a good market. 



Plant growers fared well at Easter. 

 All cleaned out pretty well. Retailers, 

 however, had a few plants left over 

 after the close of the business. 



Various Notes. 



Eck Bros, managed to get their store 

 in shape in time for Easter and did well 

 for their first holiday since their return 

 from the army. 



C. E. Critchell has been having a big 

 call for huckleberry during the last 

 fortnight. 



The William Murphy Co. handled 60,- 

 000 sweet peas in two days of holiday 

 business last week. 



Among recent visitors were Mr. Hav- 

 erkamp, of Rising Sun, Ind.; G. A. Beck- 

 mann, Middletown, 0., and Julius Dilloff, 

 New York city. C. H. H.
