can be used to connect the seven flow 

 ports and two 3%-inch headers may be 

 connected with the sections by bolting 

 on flanges. If the construction of the 

 sections does not allow this to be done, 

 the flanges may bo in the middle of the 

 connecting pipes. In case regular 

 headers cannot be secured, they may be 

 built up from 4-inch nipples and 4-inch 

 by 1%-inch tees. The flows to the two 

 houses may be connected with the ends 

 of the headers, or with the sides of 

 cast-iron headers. For heating the 

 wide house use four 2%-inch flow pipes 

 and eight 2-inch returns, unless the 

 glass is in the south wall of this house, 

 in which case an additional return 

 will be needed. To furnish radiation 

 for the house 9x100 feet use two 2%- 

 inch flow pipes and four 2-inch re- 

 turns. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



The holiday business was reported as 

 the best of all seasons in the history of 

 the. city. All firms seemed satisfied, 

 and it was gratifying that the quality 

 of stock was good. According to re- 

 ports, there is no let-up after the holi- 

 day season, as business continues to be 

 brisk. A number of funerals and wed- 

 dings are responsible for the after- 

 season business. Corsage work is par- 

 ticularly heavy. It was also said that 

 the inaugural ceremonies of Governor 

 H. L. Davis contributed to the brisk- 

 ness of the post-holiday trade. 



Various Notes. 



The state hospital greenhouses were 

 open to the public January 11 and 12 

 and were visited by many. It had been 

 announced that on these days flower 

 lovers could visit the greenhouses and 

 see what has been said to be one of the 

 finest displays of blooming cyclamens 

 ever shown there. More than 1,000 of 

 the plants were in bloom, with an aver- 

 age of twenty-five full blooms each. 

 The plants were grown by T. J. Blinco. 



Otto Ackerman has just received 

 another shipment of fine birds and 

 goldfish. He reports good business. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. reports 

 a large stock of carnations and roses 

 of good quality, but the demand is 

 greater than the supply. 



All the florists report heavy funeral 

 work. W. F. F.

Accurate Regulation 

 Reduces Heating Costs 



It is important to the proper nurturing of growing plants that 

 even temperature be maintained in greenhouses at all times. 



It is a happy fact that accurate regulation realizes a consider- 

 able saving of steam in addition to being the best for your 

 greenhouses.

is noted for its accurate delivery of a lixed amount of steam under any and 

 all conditions. 



Mr. L. M. Masou, of Streator, Illinois, says: 



"Since I have had Fisher Reducing Valves in service they 

 have worked like a clock — their action has been positive 

 and reliable." 



The accurate performance of the Fisher valve is assured by the careful 

 construction and perfect grinding of the valve. Being double-seated, this 

 valve will not stick. Valve and seats are made of our special formula, 

 hard phosphor bronze, which reduces wire-drawing and leakage to a 

 minimum. 



Let the Fisher Reduciog Valve save steam for you — and preserve the de- 

 sired temperature of your greenhouses at all times. Our bulletin No. 201 

 tells you all about it. Write for it TODAY.
