south wall and with each of them supply 

 six 1%-iiich returns to run on the south 

 walls to the middle of the house. 



The pipes in all of the coils should 

 be connected so that there will be a walk 

 about four feet wide across the middle 

 of the three sections. The pipe to .ioin 

 the coils with the main return should 

 start at the south wall as a 2% -inch 

 pipe and increase gradually, so that it 

 will be a 4-inch before the last coils are 

 connected. 



Run all of the pipes downhill and keep 

 the coils as high as possible, especially 

 if they are not 'above the top of the 

 boiler. Join the highest part of the 

 main flow pipe with the expansion tank. 

 Piped in this way, there will be no occa- 

 sion for using air valves.

The Market. 



The cut flower business held its own 

 for Thanksgiving, but the old expres- 

 sion, "best ever," is not so much in 

 evidence as it has been for several 

 years anLong the retailers. However, 

 they all did well and had a good trade, 

 which went along without any great 

 rush. The weather was unusually bad, 

 with continued rain November 23 and 

 24. The wonder is that they did so 

 well, and had the weather been right, 

 no doubt business would have been 

 better. 



The wholesale houses cleaned up 

 nicely. Local chrysanthemums were 

 done and the last of the pompons were 

 sold before Thanksgiving. There were 

 many chrysanthemums shipped in, most 

 of which arrived rather soft and small 

 and sold only because there is always a 

 demand for chrysanthemums for 

 Thanksgiving. 



Chrysanthemums are done for this 

 season. The flowers now offered for 

 sale are Beauties, roses, carnations, 

 lilies. Paper Whites, Romans, stevia, 

 calendulas, yellow daisies, asparagus 

 strings and bunches, Mexican ivy, leu- 

 cothoe, galax and ferns. Boxwood and 

 lycopodium arc moving rapidly. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams, Inc., has installed 

 an automatic refrigerator in its show 

 and stock boxes, which is giving good 

 satisfaction. Since ice continues to get 

 more expensive each year, mechanical 

 refrigeration begins to attract more at- 

 tention. Besides it keeps the boxes at 

 a more even temperature and avoids 

 the dirt resulting from liandling quan- 

 tities of ice. 



The Pittsburgli Cut Flower Co. is 

 forcing pussy willow and is showing 

 some nice stock from three to four feet 

 long. The bad weather seems to have 

 had some effect on the employees of the 

 Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. Last week 

 the company was short five persons on 

 account of an illness something like 

 the grip.

 who has been abroad, returned last
