 partition. There should be ten lines 

 of 2-inch returns in the main house, ar- 

 ranged in five coils of two pipes each, 

 connected with the respective flow 

 pipes. The propagating house will re- 

 quire three lines of 2-inch returns which 

 should be located under the bench. 



If there is no glass in the walls of the

 suffice. Place the odd return in the coil

The Market. 



Flowers were plentiful for Mothers' 

 day. The demand was so great that 

 practically all florists were cleaned out 

 Saturday night, May 8. This was the 

 biggest Mothers' day business in the 

 day's existence. Cooperative advertis- 

 ing played a large part in its success 

 here. Carnations sold for $3 per dozen, 

 but there were not enough to supply 

 the demand. The general demand was 

 not centered on carnations, but was for 

 a variety of flowers. Roses were in large 

 demand. There were many varieties 

 to choose from, roses, sweet peas, snap- 

 dragons and calendulas, besides out- 

 side flowers, such as violets, tulips and 

 Narcissus poeticus. 



The numhpr of telegraph orders sur- 

 prised the trade. The telegraph busi- 

 ness was larger than ever before and 

 surpassed that at both Christmas and 

 Easter. This business added much to 

 the success of the day. 



Stock lilas declined in price in the 

 last few fiays and is more plentiful.
