The Florists^ Review 



October 16. 1913. 



drop it down at the end and run a coil 

 from the center on the wall either way 

 to the corners of the house and then 

 along the walls back to the other end, 

 where a 2-inch pipe can be used to con- 

 nect each coil with the main return. 



For the main flow and return pipes 

 use either one 4-inch pipe or two 3-inch 

 pipes for each of the ranges. If pos- 

 sible, have the highest part of each 

 main flow over the boiler and connect 

 them at that point with the expansion 

 tank. Run aJl of the flows with a 

 slight fall, one inch in fifteen or twenty 

 feet being sufficient. 



THE FUEL MABKET. 



The anthracite situation is continuing 

 to show strength. Selling agencies re- 

 ported the biggest September on record 

 and October is promising to produce 

 about the same amount of business. 

 Fortunately, ears have been reasonably 

 plentiful and shipment has been heavy 

 enough to satisfy about all the demand. 



In the matter of smokeless coal, the 

 mine run price is somewhat variable. 

 On single car lots orders are occasion- 

 ally picked up at $1.60; about the best 

 price on the five to eight car lot is 

 $1.50, while it would be rather difficult 

 to sell anything over ten cars for more 

 than circular price of $1.40. The move- 

 ment is steady and those who have con- 

 tracted for coal are taking it. 



Franklin county producers have put 

 out a new circular price of $2.25 and 

 are adhering to it. There has been no 

 let-up in buying as a result. The Car- 

 terville operators are enjoying big busi- 

 ness. Few of them have tried to get 

 anything above $2 a ton. 



The price of screenings has been 

 moving up just a little. Every change 

 for the better has been resisted by the 

 big consumers. For screenings, any- 

 where from 45 to 55 cents for the lower 

 grades and from 70 to 75 cents for the 

 higher grades is being asked. With 

 steam lump at anything like $1.30 to 

 $1.40, the prevailing price, the screen- 

 ings are too cheap. 



HEAT FROM RESIDENCE BOILER. 



Will you please inform me as to the 

 arrangement of the piping and the size 

 of pipe I should use in a small green- 

 house I have just built? The house 

 adjoins my residence and I wish to 

 heat it from the hot water boiler in 

 the basement. I have on hand a quan- 

 tity of 1%-inch pipe which I wish to 

 use, if possible. The house is 11 x 32. 

 The sides are six feet high, with three 

 feet of glass and the rest of the walls 

 double boarded, with paper between. 

 The height to the ridge is eight feet six 

 inches. There is a door and some glass 

 in the east end; the other end is built 

 against the residence. I had thought of 

 running the main flow about two feet 

 uilder the ridge to the east end of the 

 house and branching from that to mani- 

 folds under the benches on each side. 

 Would this arrangement be satisfac- 

 tory? The boiler will be about ten 

 feet from the greenhouse and the top 

 of it will be about on a level with the 

 ground outside. I wish to maintain a 

 temperature of 55 to 60 degrees in this 

 southern Michigan climate. N. E. W. 



To heat the house described to 60 de- 

 grees, a 2%-inch main should be run a 

 couple of feet below the ridge and con- 

 nected with twelve l^^-ioch pipes under
