The Florists' Rcvtcw 



May 12, 1921 



From the description of the range 

 above, there are two houses, each 36x 

 176 feet, with seven feet of glass in 

 the south wall of the south house, and 

 with a lean-to on the north side of the 

 north house twenty-seven feet wide. 



To heat these houses with low-pres- 

 sure steam, it would be advisable to run 

 three 2-inch mains in each of the 36- 

 foot houses, placing one on each side 

 wall plate and the other at about the 

 same level under the ridge or on one of 

 the rows of purlin posts, with nine 1^/4- 

 ineh returns in the north house and 

 eleven returns in the south house, which 

 has the glass in its south wall. There 

 should be three return pipes on each 

 wall except on the south wall of the 

 south house, where four returns should 

 be used. The wall coils should be 

 three or four feet above the beds and 

 the other returns should be carried sin- 

 gly on the purlin posts, about six to 

 seven feet from the beds. 



In the lean-to house use two 2-incli 

 flow pipes on the wall plate and at the 

 same height on the back wall, with 

 eight 114 -inch return pipes, placing two 

 on each wall and the others on the inir- 

 lin posts. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



Most of the florists in Newark and 

 its vicinity had a good Mothers' day 

 trade. The high prices charged for car- 

 nations on this occasion for the last two 

 years lias injured the trade. Great 

 quantities of flowers are being sold on 

 Mothers' day, but more could be sold 

 if the prices were more reasonable. 

 Not only that, but the high carnation 

 prices have resulted in a reaction on the 

 part of many and they are observing 

 the day in some other way than by 

 wearing this flower. Unless more mod- 

 erate charges are made, the florists, in 

 this vicinity at least, may soon find 

 this source of trade seriously impaired. 



Some Newark florists occasionally 

 receive orders for flowers to be deliv- 

 ered to some outgoing ships at New 

 York, Jersey City and Hoboken, but 

 the large trade in bon-voyage remem- 

 brances which they had before the war 

 has not come back. R. B. M.

No Air Wanted! 



Air may be all right in its place, but your hot water 

 main is NOT that place. Air is like an iceberg. It 

 chills water rapidly. 



Florists know that even heat is essential to growing 

 plants. They attempt to maintain the proper tempera- 

 ture at all times and ALL THROUGH THEIR RANGE. 



Fisher Air Trap 



(Type 30) 



is positive assurance of even heat throughout your 

 greenhouses. 



Its quick, positive elimination of air has made it the 

 faithful friend of thousands of florists. Placed at the 

 highest point on a hot water system, it will keep the 

 mains free of air at all times. It prevents all hammering 

 and chattering, and the consequent danger to pipe. 



The Fisher Air Trap is simple in construction — requires no adjust- 

 ments. It is extremely sensitive to air — yet will not permit the 

 escape of hot water. 



Valve ar.d nozzle can be removed at any time without disturbing 

 pipe connections. 



Bulletin No. 1001 tells you all about this sturdy, heat-saving 

 air trap. Write for your copy today.
