the actual amount of radiation that 

 will be installed if the plan of using 

 three 2%-inch flows and eight 2-inch 

 returns is followed. 



On the contrary, experience shows 

 that for economy of labor and fuel, a 

 heater witli a rating of from fifty to 

 100 per cent larger than the required 

 radiation is desirable if soft coal is to 

 be used as fuel. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Conditions in the local market last 

 week were bad, and the growers and 

 wholesalers were in accord in declaring 

 that they had witnessed the worst glut 

 of this year. Carnations were offered at 

 from $10 to $15 per thousand and met 

 with no takers. The wholesalers could 

 not get rid of them under any condi- 

 tions. 



Ijarge quantities of roses are coming 

 into Washington from out of town, but 

 as they arrive partly open, it is not 

 usually possible to find customers for 

 them. Good long-stemmed stock sold 

 in large quantities during the week 

 when a customer could be found at from 

 $40 to $60 per thousand. The general 

 run of good roses, sold in smaller quan- 

 tities, were held at from $4 to $15 per 

 hundred. 



Peonies helped to flood the market, but 

 a great many of them were sold to retail- 

 ers wishing to put them in cold storage 

 for Memorial day business. They were 

 offered at from $20 to $40 per thousand. 

 The best of the locally grown stock, 

 however, ran as high as $8 and $10 per 

 hundred. 



Gladioli are becoming more plentiful, 

 as a great many are shipped in from 

 the south. The shipped-in stock sold 

 last week at as low as $30 per thousand, 

 while the best of the locally grown stock 

 brought as high as $15 per hundred and 

 the ordinary stock $10 and $12. 



Some good delphiniums are to be had, 

 always popular flowers in Washington.

NO REPAIRS 



Tlie season is almost at hand when florists will shut down their boilers to give them 

 a thorough overhauling.

 settings— unless you are now using
