PLIBRICO is a plastic refractory that makes a solid one- 

 piece furnace lining without joints. Plibrico also is unexcelled 

 lor baffle construction and repairs. 



It will increase the efficiency of your boiler 15 per cent. It 

 will make your furnaces gas and air tight and greatly reduce the 

 cost of upkeep. Can be used wherever fire brick is used. Will 

 outwear any fire brick made.

the piping will have to run overhead 

 or on the sides. W. C. S.— N. J. 



In order to use the 1^4 -inch pipe on 

 hand we should suggest running a 2%- 

 inch flow pipe about three feet below 

 the ridge and supplying with it six lines 

 of 114 -inch returns, arranged in pairs 

 on the purlin and ridgo posts at the 

 level of the plates, or if there are no 

 posts in the house they can be carried 

 on the truss rods. 



For the side walla run a 3-inch flow 

 pipe at each plate and connect each 

 flow with a coil of five 2-inch return 

 pipes, carried on the side walls. 



"We are not familiar with the Pearson 

 Ideal heater, but to heat the house to 

 63 degrees in zero weather it should 

 have a rating of about 1,500 square 

 feet of radiation. This will require a 

 grate about thirty inches square. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



The Columbus market is well supplied 

 with all necessary stock for the Christ- 

 mas rush. Reports are that business is 

 excellent thus far and that this will be 

 one of the biggest years the florists have 

 ever had. Among the cut flowers which 

 are plentiful are roses, carnations, vio- 

 lets, sweet peas, poinsettias, narcissi and 

 daisies. Magnolia, boxwood, galax, moss, 

 holly and rope wreaths are in abundance. 

 Among the plants which are on sale are 

 poinsettias, begonias, Cleveland cherries, 

 cyclamens and ferns. Ruscus appears 

 this year in red, green, gold, silver and 

 white. As usual, red and green rope, 

 loose holly, mistletoe and green moss are 

 in the market and receiving their share 

 of the sales of decorative articles. F.
