The Horists^ Review 



NOVEMBBB 6, 1919. 



four inches of glass on one side, the 

 boiler should heat a house 200 feet long. 

 For heating the house with steam, 

 two 2%-inch flow pipes and eight or 

 nine 1%-inch returns will be required. 

 With hot water three 2 ^^ -inch flows and 

 eleven 2-inch returns will be needed. 

 The stack should be fifteen inches in 

 diameter and thirty feet in height above 

 the entrance of the smoke flue, or still 

 higher if there are tall buildings 

 near by.

The Market. 



Last week stock was abundant. All 

 grades, good, medium and poor, were in 

 the market, but the poor ones were es- 

 pecially in evidence, as last week saw 

 the cleaning up of early season mums. 

 This week stock is more clear of riff- 

 raff and not quite so free in supply, al- 

 though plenty is available. 



Midseason chrysanthemums are a lit- 

 tle slow in coming; this perhaps has 

 been due to the week of dark, cold, 

 rainy weather, which has retarded all 

 growth. 



Carnations are plentiful. Chrysan- 

 themums have hurt the sale of these 

 and, since the supply has been increas- 

 ing, they are dragging a little. The 

 demand for roses has been slightly af- 

 fected. Good ones in all colors are avail- 

 able and sell well, but prices were forced 

 to drop. 



A limited number of sweet peas and 

 calla lilies are now coming in. A good 

 frost finished the dahlias, cosmos and 

 all remaining outdoor stock. 



Various Notes. 



Edwin Nelson has returned home 

 from twenty-five months in the army, 

 including twenty months in France. 



Savey Constantine has returned from 

 France and is back at his former posi- 

 tion at the Claypool flower shop. 



Albert Kempe is cutting some sweet 

 peas which are excellent for this time 

 of year. 



Preparations are being rapidly com- 

 pleted for the exhibition to be hold No- 

 vember 13 and 14 at the Claypool hotel. 

 The banquet, at which the Kentucky 

 florists will be present, will be held Fri- 

 day night, November 14, in the Chateau 

 room of the hotel. Chairmen of the va- 

 rious committees have been named as 

 follows: E. E. Temperley, entertain- 

 ment; Clarence E. Greene, decorations; 

 Henry W. Eieman, reception, and 

 Charles Pahud, banquet and dance. 

 Mrs. E. E. Temperley, Mrs. Clarence 

 R. Greene and Mrs. Harry Pahud will 

 form the committee to entertain the 

 women visitors. E. E. T.

Uniform Pressure 

 Means Even Heat 



The Steam lines are the 

 arteries of the green- 

 house. They carry the 

 steam — that makes the 

 heat — that develops the 

 growing things. 



Maintaining just the 

 proper temperature at 

 every point, regardless 

 of the location of the 

 boiler, is every grower's 

 problem. But it ceases 

 to be a problem with the 

 installation of Fisher 

 Reducing Valves. 



Fisher Reducing Valve, Type U-A, 

 Inverted, with Increased Outlet. 



They give actual temperature control by 

 accurate reduction of the steam pressure — 

 regardless of the main pressure. 



Give us a layout of your 

 greenhouse indicating 

 the location of your boiler 

 and let us show you how, 

 at a small cost, Fisher Re- 

 ducing Valves will do just 

 what we claim.
