The Rorists^ Review 



May 4. 1922 



430 squ:ne foot of radiation in the 

 houses, which would not be much out of 

 the way if there were only six 2-inch 

 returns to be supplied in a house 100 

 feet long. "With sixteen returns, the cir- 

 culation will be sluggish in some of the 

 returns, and far better results may be 

 secured if three 214-inch flow pipes and 

 twelve to fourteen 2-inch returns are 

 used. 



One of the flows should be on each of 

 the side wall plates and the other three 

 feet below the ridge. Four returns 

 should be placed under the side benches 

 and the others distributed under the 

 middle benches. The number of the re- 

 turns in the house with the lower tem- 

 perature may be reduced at least one- 

 third, varying with the temperature de- 

 sired, but it will be advisable to use at 

 least two flow pipes. 



The stack should be about thirty feet 

 high and from ten to twelve inches in 

 diameter, depending on the size of the 

 heater. The area of the cross section 

 of the chimney should be about one- 

 seventh of the grate area. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



Now that Easter is past, the growers 

 are preparing for the next great event. 

 They are forcing into shape geranium 

 plants and other stock for release Just 

 before the occasion. In the meantime 

 part of the earliest of the stock will be 

 sold for early cemetery decorations. 

 Large quantities of pan.sy plants are be- 

 ing sold now for cemetery use and these 

 will be replaced later with plants that 

 will last for the season. 



Florists whose stores are near the 

 cemeteries are busy now putting graves 

 in condition. 



McLaughlin & Murphy report that 

 there has been a little lull in business 

 since Easter. There is a considerable 

 amount of funeral work, however, and 

 some wedding work. R. B. M.
