flows for runs over seventy-five feet 

 long, the south sections, 26x125 feet, may 

 be heated by means of thirteen 1%-iHeh 

 returns. This will practically use all the 

 pipe of that size, and, if new pipe is to 

 be purchased for the other houses, we 

 would use 2-inch. Six 2-inch returns 

 will be required in eacH of the five 20- 

 foot houses, in addition to the three 2%- 

 inch flow pipes, except in the north 

 house, in which it will be safer to use 

 seven returns, placing the extra pipe on 

 the north wall. In all of the other 

 houses use three coils of two 2-inch re- 

 turns. This will take about 4,600 feet 

 of 2-inch pipes for the coils in five 

 houses, 20x150 feet. 



In case the pipe on hand for the 

 mains is of other sizes than we have 

 specified, they may be substituted, pro- 

 vided that due allowance is made for 

 their capacity. Of course the 6-inch 

 mains may be gradually reduced in size 

 as the supply mains are taken off.

The sailing of Major General Leonard 

 Wood on the Wenatchcc was productive 

 of considerable business for the florists, 

 and McCoy's supplied one of the most 

 noteworthy items, consisting of a large 

 basket of TIadley roses, tied with blue 

 ribbon. Tliis was sent by the Univer- 

 sity gf Pennsylvania and the school's 

 colors were reproduced in this manner. 



The City Flower Sho]) has comi)K'ted
