2-inch returns will be required under 

 the south bench and three under the 

 north bench. 



There is little choice between the 

 tubular and the sectional cast-iron 

 boilers, although since less than 600 

 square feet of radiation will be required, 

 the latter would be more commonly 

 used.

The Market. 



Both retailers and wholesalers report 

 good business, especially for July, but 

 stock is not so plentiful as it usually 

 ip at this time of the year. The short- 

 age of help hindered the work of {)lant- 

 ing out, but it is completed now. 



Some of the growers have all or part 

 of their coal and have paid as high as 

 $8.85 per ton on the track. Some green- 

 house men use gas all of the time for 

 heat and some only part of the time. 



Various Notes. 



Gustav Schneider has about com- 

 pleted the rebuilding of his place after 

 a fire. Two houses and a potting shed 

 are finished and in use. The other three 

 houses are rapidly nearing completion. 



B. C Blake is erecting a new green- 

 house, 20x80 feet, to take care of his 

 increasing trade. The potting shed is 

 completed and half of the roofbars are 

 in place. 



J. O. Click is also improving his place. 

 One house, 14x90 feet, is ready for the 

 roofbars and two others, 22x125 and 

 10x125 feet, are contemplated for this 

 fall. 



The Good & Reese Co. is installing 

 two 90-horsepower boilers in a new con- 

 crete boiler house, which will be 

 equipped with iron stairs and with an 

 electric hoist for ashes and will be up- 

 to-date in every way. 



Harold McGregor, having sold his in- 

 terests in the McGregor Bros, Co., is 

 building a range to grow shrubbery and 

 geraniums. He expects to have his 

 houses ready by September 1. 



The Springfield Floral Co. is rebuild- 

 ing the entire south side of its place, 

 which has not been used for several 

 years. This contains nine houses, 20x80 

 feet.
