The flue should have a cross section of 

 about 100 square inches and should ex- 

 tend from four to six feet above the 

 ridge. 



The main flow and return should be 4- 

 inch. Tor the feed pipes in the house, 

 we should run a 2%-ineh flow on each 

 side wall plate and a third flow three feet 

 below the ridge. Twelve 2-inch returns 

 will be needed. Place four under each 

 side bench and two on each side of the 

 solid bed. These are to be fed by the 

 mains overhead. If either side wall is 

 exposed to the prevailing cold winds, an 

 additional return may l3e used to ad- 

 vantage under the bench on that side of 

 the house. But, ordinarily, it will not be 

 required for zero weather. 



SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



[Continued from pat'c KW. i 



the Retail Florists' Association has 

 been planning for the last month to 

 purchase. The fine })uilding on Bush 

 street, near Kearney, which was under 

 consideration, will probably not be the 

 association 's choice. The main floor 

 is large enough at present for a market 

 and the location is excellent, but, as 

 business is growing rapidly, the trade 

 would probably soon outgrow the 

 market. 



One of the leading members of the 

 "Tell the World" campaign is Angolo 

 Rossi, of Pclicano, Rossi & Co. This 

 campaign is to give world-wide adver- 

 tising to northern California, and most 

 of the leading organizations in the San 

 Francisco bay region are participating. 

 Mr. Rossi is a ])rominent member of 

 the San Francisco Advertising Club and 

 of several other civic organizations. 



The Powell street baseball team is 

 the name of a newly organized club, 

 composed of the staff of F. C. Jaeger 

 & Son. Sam Matraia is the captain of 

 the team. 



Brown & Kennedy are already 

 making special arrangements for 

 Mothers' day telegraph deliveries. 

 They did this before Easter, enlarging 

 their delivery department so that 

 or<lers were delivered within the hour. 



As Mothers' day is on Sunday, the 

 Retail Florists' Association will take 

 up, at its next meeting, the question of 

 keeping open for half the day, as :i 

 special concession to telegraph deliv- 

 eries. 



(J. Kooyman is having over 1,000 

 magnolia wreaths made, in preparation 

 for Memorial day. They are for use 

 in conjunction with strawflowers. 



J. A. Axell is showing some vari- 

 cg.nted ranunculi that are attracting 

 attention. They are lemon yellow, 

 tijiped with vermilion, shaded to ma- 

 genta. "One woman worked for six- 

 teen years to produce them," said Mr. 

 Axell. "She is Mrs. Marks, who began 

 as nn amateur and, becoming interested, 

 is now a grower." L. H. Brown, of San 

 T.e;indro, is sending Mr. Axell 10,000 

 Darwin tulips a day, and they are 

 usually gone early. 



A number of excellent strawflowers 

 are being dried by the United Flower 

 & Supply Co. for Mothers' day and 

 Memorial day decorations. The com- 

 pany expects to be .able to fill all orders. 



Domoto Bros, will have iris and cut 

 lilies from the nurseries from now till 

 after Memori.al day. Fine hydrangeas 

 in pots are just coming in. 



The Growers' Cut Flower Co. is .still 

 .specializing in greenhouse pansies, 

 which are larger and finer than those 



Reducing Steam In Arkansas 



Here is a view of Vestal & Sons' range in Little 

 Rock, Arkansas. This modern greenhouse was 

 designed and erected by the John C. Moninger 

 Company of Chicago. 



They say: 



"Fisher Reducing Valves 



are used in this range because experience has proved them 

 to be the very best for greenhouse heating. They are relia- 

 ble and very sensitive. We are installing Fisher Reducing 

 Valves in all our heating systems because we know they 

 give satisfactory and economical service for unusually long 

 periods of time." 



Fisher Reducing Valve is super-sensitive. Controlling pressure 

 is taken from the low pressure main at a point where there is an 

 average balanced, low pressure. 



Inner valve is double-seated, which prevents 

 all hammering and chattering. 



Fisher Reducing Valves are made in a wide 

 variety of inlet and outlet size combinations. 

 This enables you to effect considerable sav- 

 ing in pipe, in the high pressure line. 



Bulletin 201 contains a flow-chart which 

 shows exactly the proper sized reducing 

 valve for your particular service. Write 

 for it TODAY.
