 placed on the north wall. The remainder 

 should be distributed either under the 

 benches or in the walks if solid beds 

 are used. 



It is not necessary to give a slope to 

 the pipes in order to secure a good cir- 

 •'ulation of the water. A slope is only 

 necessary in order to allow the air to 

 escape when the pipes are filled with 

 water. For this, one inch in twenty 

 feet will generally answer and even 

 less will suffice if the pipes are care- 

 fully graded and supported, thus pre- 

 venting any sags in the line. In order 

 to secure a rapid circulation of the 

 water, the returns should be placed as 

 high above the boiler as possible. Par- 

 ticularly when small flow pipes are 

 used, it is advisable to slope them away 

 from the boiler, since the circulation 

 depends upon the relative weight of the 

 water on either side of the highest

Gentlemen: Please send me 2j record plates 

 like the enclosed sample, and I want to say that 

 the machine, bought a good many years back, 

 is keeping up its good work right along. I think 

 it a very useful adjunct to good plant growing, 

 and it should be in every greenhouse, as refer-

 batch of plants. Very truly yours, 



Albert M. Herk. 



The actuating element of the Standard Record- 

 ing Thermometer is of lamina metal, which, be- 

 sides being extremely sensitive to temperature 

 changes, is practically indestructible. Record 

 charts are furnished either daily or weekly, and 

 the whole mechanism is contained in an attractive 

 metal case fitted with lock and key, which insures 

 the record from being tampered with. 



The clock movement is of extremely high grade; 

 rveiy thing about the instrument is up to the high- 

 est tiossible standard of manufacture, ^n^
