The Florists' Review 



Mat 1, IdlQ. 



100 feet in length we would prefer 1%- 

 inch pipes. 



As the cross aisle, in which the feed 

 pipe to house No. 1 is carried, divides 

 it into two parts, each about thirty-four 

 feet in length, separate coils should be 

 provided for each section. To supply 

 the coils in each half of the house, we 

 would run a 1%-inch pipe about three 

 feet under the ridge from the main feed 

 pipe to each end of the house. There is 

 a door at each end of all of the houses, 

 and we would start all of the coils at 

 either side of each of the doors at the 

 exposed ends of the houses. The coils 

 should run to the corners of the house 

 and then along the side walls to the 

 boiler end of the house. Each coil should 

 be fed by a 1^-inch pipe taken off from 

 the end of the 1%-inch supply pipe. 



Whether beds or benches are to be 

 used is not stated, but in case the plants 

 are to be grown on benches we would 

 arrange the piping to provide bottom 

 heat under each bench. We infer that 

 there are three benches or beds in house 

 No. 1 and two in each of the other 

 houses. With wall coils beginning at 

 the door in house No. 1, we would use, 

 for 55 degrees, four 1-inch pipes in the 

 coils on the south wall and three on 

 the north, with four pipes under the 

 middle bench or benches. These can 

 be supplied by 1%-inch pipes taken off 

 from the 1%-inch supply pipe overhead. 

 If solid beds are to be used in this 

 house, or if bottom heat is not desired, 

 we would use six 1-inch pipes on the 

 south wall and five on the north. 



In houses 2 and 3, in addition to the 

 1%-inch supply pipe overhead, we would 

 use three 1-inch pipes in each of the 

 wall coils, beginning at the end door, 

 for 60 degrees. Since house No. 4 has 

 glass in the north wall and is more ex- 

 posed to cold winds, besides being 2 feet 

 wider, we would suggest the same num- 

 ber and arrangement of pipes, although 

 the temperature is to be only 55 degrees. 



To adapt a hot water boiler for use 

 with steam, it will be necessary to add 

 a steam dome, and provide a water col- 

 umn, steam gauge, safety valve, etc. 

 The addition of a steam dome and one 

 other section would slightly increase the 

 fire surface of the boiler, but to heat 

 the houses described the boiler should be 

 rated for 800 square feet of steam radia- 

 tion, which is altogether too much for 

 an Ideal 6-22, even with additional sec- 

 tions. Single-strength pipe may be used, 

 but we would avoid any zigzag arrange- 

 ment of the piping. 



Aberdeen, S. D. — The Easter window 

 displav of B. F. Siebrecht attracted con- 

 siderable attention and favorable com- 

 ment. 



Minneapolis, Minn. — A notice was 

 printed in the local newspapers by the 

 Minneapolis Florists' Club, just before 

 Easter, recommending that hydrangeas, 

 roses and spiraeas be purchased for the 

 holiday, instead of Easter lilies. The 

 i otice explained the reason for the 

 shortage of Easter lilies and described 

 these flowers as being of inferior qual- 

 ity and expensive.
