the level of the greenhouse. I should like 

 to leave the piping that is already in just 

 the way it is. But I expect to put 

 larger returns across the east end of the 

 house. How much niore pipe will be 

 needed and where will it be best to place 

 it? Would you use a circulator to keep 

 a temperature of 60 degrees in zero 

 weather? The house is exposed to west 

 winds and the boiler room is on the east 

 end. T. J. S.— N. Y. 



We should prefer to use 1%-inch pipe 

 for returns, even with a circulator. But 

 as you have ly^-inch pipe on hand, it 

 may be utilized if the hot water is car- 

 ried under a pressure. The boiler seems 

 to have sufficient capacity, but the mar- 

 gin is a narrow one. 



In addition to the 3-inch flow pipe 

 now used, we should use either two 3- 

 inch or four 2%-inch flows, carrying one 

 on each plate and, if 2%-inch flows are 

 used, placing the remainder of the pipes 

 at the middle of the rafters. For the 

 main greenhouse, in addition to the four- 

 teen 1^4 -inch returns, we should arrange 

 for ten IV^-inch lines through the middle 

 of the house. Keep the returns as high 

 as possible. 



In the lean-to, run a 3-inch flow pipe 

 on the back wall and run two 1%-inch 

 returns in addition to the four 1%-inch 

 pipes now in use. 



The radiation as planned above will 

 give about 50 degrees in zero weather 

 when operated as an open tank system, 

 but by using the circulator, and giving 

 more attention to the firing, it will be 

 possible to maintain 60 degrees. In 

 ordinary winter weather, 60 degrees may 

 be kept up easily even without the 

 circulator. 



SEATTLE NOTES. 



[Continued from pant h;).] 

 The cut of carnations passed its low- 

 period and local growers said that they 

 expect to be able to care for the trade 

 nicely up to the time of Mothers' day. 

 The local cut was much improved, but 

 the best of the deliveries were coming 

 from eastern Washington and Oregon 

 growers. There was an abundance of 

 sweet peas, most of which made a most 

 satisfactory showing as to color re- 

 quirements. Narcissus poeticus came 

 to hand in spotted lots and dealers did 

 not have the slightest difficulty in dis- 

 posing of the good stock. 



Various Notes. 



Commercial travelers calling on the 

 trade of late included J. W. Hurick, of 

 Portland; Carl Black, representing the 

 Zanc Pottery Co., Zaneavillc, O., and 

 W. E. Hollingsworth, of the Western 

 Waxed Paper Goods Co., North Port- 

 land. 



W. Killing has been placed in charge 

 of the greenhouses of Eosaia Bros., 

 succeeding W. H. Hawkins, who has en- 

 tered business for himself here. Har- 

 vey Simpson started the middle ot last 

 week for Alaska, where he will he for 

 about three months on an extended va- 

 cation. Irving Harris, recently with 

 Eosaia Bros, and previously with the 

 Woodlawn Flower Shop, has resigned 

 his position. 



The City Flower Shop showed the 

 first wax begonias of the new season 

 and has also been offering some of the 

 best Darwins coming to hand. There 

 has been an increase in the number of 

 decorations and the shipping business 

 is also registering some improvement. 



Tight Boiler Settings Conserve Heat 



and Save Coal 



To make sure that YOUR boiler settings will be tight when 

 you run your furnaces to capacity, cover them NOW with 



iEALRITE 



Then in the busiest .months you will find 

 your furnaces ready to give the utmost 

 heat units for the fuel consumed. 



SEALRITE hardens on the outside while 

 remaining plastic within, contracting and 

 expanding with changing heat or weather 

 conditions, but will not crack or peel. 



SEALRITE is excellent to use in the 

 place of putty for making panes of glass 

 tight, and for adding to the life of cracked 

 panes. Use it as a waterproofing mate- 

 rial. No moisture can penetrate a coat- 

 ing of SEALRITE, no air or heat find its 

 way through SEALRITE.

SCALING 



CQATRITE 



Ousts scale and keeps it out. Protects 

 the boiler from pitting and corrosion 

 while the furnaces are laid up for the 

 summer. Order a barrel today and learn 

 what clean boilers mean. 



Protects ALL equipment from rust and 

 corrosion, acid and alkalis, gas and 

 chemical fumes. Ask for free sample — 

 enough to coat two square yards.
