direction and connect with two coils, 

 each containing three 1%-inch pipes, 

 which can be either on the walls or un- 

 der the benches. In case the top of 

 the boiler is below the level of the 

 returns, it will answer if there is a 

 2-inch flow pipe on each wall, each 

 of them feeding a coil of three 1*/^- 

 inch pipes. In either case the flow pipes 

 should be given a slight fall. 



PAINTINQ THE PlPmO. 



What is a good paint for hot water 

 pipes! 



Y. P. C. 



While asphaltum makes a good paint 

 for greenhouse pipes, so far as looks 

 and durability are concerned, yet its use 

 is not recommended, from the fact that 

 a smooth, glossy surface does not radi- 

 ate heat as rapidly as a rough one. 



King Greenhouses 



Are built in all sizes and styles to meet every requirement. There is a 

 type of construction for elaborate houses like the one in the picture above—

Then there are the big vegetable houses covering two or three acres— the 

 Kingf Iron Framers. 



For every-day use, all florists should know the many advantages of the—

Above all, avoid the use of coal tar in 

 any form. A satisfactory paint can be 

 prepared from lampblack mixed with 

 equal parts of linseed oil and turpen- 

 tine, and if more body is desired some 

 of the cheap dry colors can be added. 



BEMEDT FOB BOILER SCALE. 



Will you kindly tell me of some 

 remedy for a scaly formation on the 

 inside of a hot water boiler! The 

 scale cannot be easily reached, unless 



there is some acid or other chemical 

 that can be used. It is hard to heat 

 the boiler under these conditions.

There are on the market a number 

 of patent preparations for this pur- 

 pose, which can be obtained from ma- 

 chinists' supply houses. A compara- 

 tively inexpensive and fairly effectual 

 remedy is to use a gallon of kerosene 

 for each 1,000 square feet of radiation 

 once a month. This should perhaps be
