The Florists' Review 



Sbptbhbbb 18, 1013. 



•of smaller pipes is objectionable, owing 

 to the increase in the friction, while 

 most of those who have greenhouses 

 to heat think that with larger pipes 

 the amount of water to be heated is 

 much greater than the increased radia- 

 tion afforded. 



The temperatures required are not 

 stated either in the letter or upon the 

 accompanying sketch. The size of one 

 of the houses is given as 22 x 60; an- 

 other house is 17 x 60, and the third 

 house, which is built across the ends 

 of the others and between them and the 

 boiler, is 22 x 48. The walls are four 

 feet high, except in the third house 

 described, where the height to the plate 

 is seven and one-half feet. 



To heat the house 22 x 60 to 60 de- 

 grees, two 21,^-inch flow pipes and 

 twelve 2-inch returns will be needed. 

 For 50 degrees only eight returns will 

 be required. For the house 17 x 60, use 

 two flows and nine returns for 60 de- 

 grees and six returns for 50 degrees. 

 To serve as main flow pipes for the 

 foregoing two houses, a 3-inch pipe may 

 be run to each house from the boiler 

 and the return water from each house 

 can be carried in a pipe of the same 

 size. These pipes will pass through the 

 house 22 x 48 and will furnish consider- 

 able radiation. In addition, one 2V^- 

 inch flow and eight returns should be 

 used in this house for 60 degrees, and 

 six returns for 50 degrees. 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Our long dry spell was broken by sev- 

 eral rains last week, but the damage 

 has been done. Gladioli and asters 

 have both suffered from the dry weath- 

 er, the local asters all being knocked 

 out and the gladioli in most cases be- 

 ing small. There are not many dahlias 

 grown in this district. We had one or 

 two frosts the last of the week, but not 

 a great deal of damage was done, ex- 

 <!ept to the most tender stock. The 

 thermometer has been as low as 38 de- 

 grees every morning for a week. 



The change in the weather shortened 

 up the indoor stock, and roses have be- 

 come quite scarce, except Maryland and 

 Richmond. Lilies are less plentiful and 

 have been in good demand. Carnations 

 are still scarce, but few coming into 

 this market except Enchantress, and the 

 stems of these are short. Valley has 

 been plentiful, and a few white and yel- 

 low chrysanthemums have made their 

 appearance. There are plenty of fine 

 Beaaties. ItiVHit>1t^Me is choiring >some 

 improvement, but not a great deal can 

 be expected until good stock becomes 

 more plentiful and attractive, although 

 .some good orders are being booked for 

 later in the fall.
