required will depend considerably upon 

 the character of the building and 

 whether it is heated. If there is glass 

 in the walls of the greenhouse, allow- 

 ance should be made for this in deter- 

 mining the radiation. 



Without glass in the walls of the 

 greenhouse and with the rear wall 

 heated, I would run a 3-inch flow pipe 

 on the rear wall about three feet from 

 the peak. Carry this along the end of 

 the house and connect it with eight 

 2-inch returns. Three of these should 

 be on the front wall of the house, or 

 under the front bench, and the others 

 distributed under the other benches. 



With thirty inches of glass in the 

 front wall I would use an additional re- 

 turn, and one or two others would be 

 needed if the rear wall is cold, depend- 

 ing upon the construction. All pipes 

 should run downhill, and the expansion 

 tank should be connected with the high- 

 est point in the system. 



PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



There was an exceptionally good mar- 

 ket last week, but it would have been 

 even better had there been sufficient 

 stock. Following the extremely hot 

 weather of last month, the last two 

 weeks have been ideal growing weather, 

 8un8hine,^£ji«L^occasional showers alter- 

 nating. JSven\ this, however, did not 

 produce enWugh^owers to meet the un- 

 usually big demand for wedding and 

 commencement work. 



There has been a sharp advance in 

 prices in practically all varieties of 

 stock. Gladioli have been the staple 

 and have demanded .from $10 to $12. 

 There were not nearly enough of these 

 prime favorites. Eoses averaged from 

 $6 to $11 per hundred, except American 



Beauties, which brought $1.50 to $2 per 

 dozen. Carnations were $2 straight per 

 hundred. Sweet peas are just begin- 

 ning to come into the market. They 

 are of good quality and sell for $1 and 

 $1.50 per hundred. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel McClements is one of the most 

 active of a number of representative 

 East Liberty business men who are 

 informally organized to do their 

 bit in relieving the tedium of the 

 soldier patients' life in the Parkview 

 hospital. Bandolph & McClements' 

 windows have notices, conspicuously 

 placed, requesting their customers and 

 passers-by to loan their cars to convey 

 patients to and from East Liberty at 

 convenient times. Once in town, the 

 soldiers are hustled to Beymer's and 

 Huyler's for refreshments and then 

 taken to the theaters. Mr. McClements 

 usually contributes the floral decora- 

 tions for these occasions and they are 

 appreciated fully as much as the sweets. 



James O. Hill has returned to civilian 

 life and resumed business connections 

 with his brothers on Fifth avenue 

 June 27. 



George Franks, proprietor of the 

 Fifth avenue arcade, has returned from 

 a ten days' eastern trip which em- 

 braced New York, Washington and At- 

 lantic City. He was accompanied by 

 two friends. 



The McCallum Co. celebrated "July 

 First" June 28 with a stag party at the 

 Evans City plant. Half a dozen or so 

 of the men are planning to attend the 

 Detroit convention. .Julius W. Ludwig 

 has announced his intention of being 

 one of the party. 



Accompanied by his wife and daugh- 

 ter, F. H. Riegelmeier left June 30 for 

 an eastern automobile trip which will 

 include New York, Washington and At-
