foot south wall containing two feet of 

 glass, and with a total height of twelve 

 feet to the ridge, the house to be heated 

 to 60 degrees? How much larger would 

 the boiler have to be to heat another 

 house like No. 1, built onto the south 

 side of No. 1, with the partition be- 

 tween the two taken outf W. S. G. 



For heating this range of houses, I 

 would suggest running three 2%-inch 

 flow pipes from the boiler room to the 

 west end of house No. 1, placing one of 

 them on each plate and the other about 

 a foot under the ridge. From the flow 

 pipe on the south wall take off three 

 2-inch returns, which should be carried 

 back to the boiler on the south wall. 

 With the middle flow pipe supply two 

 returns, which can be supported either 

 from the roof or on the posts under the 

 ridge or the purlins. Two 2-inch returns 

 should also be connected with the flow 

 pipe on the north wall of house No. 1 

 and carried upon the north wall below 

 the flow pipe. 



For heating houses No. 2 and 3, take 

 off four more 2-inch returns from the 

 flow pipe upon the north wall of house 

 No. 1, and run two of them on the south 

 wall and the others on the north wall 

 of house No. 2. The two 2-inch pipes on 

 the south wall of house No. 2 should be 

 carried into house No. 3; after taking 

 off two other 2-inch returns from them, 

 making four in this house, carry them 

 under the propagating bed. Owing to 

 the door in the east end of house No. 2, 

 it will be necessary to connect the two 

 returns on the north wall of that house 

 and, after dropping the return to the 

 ground, carry it back to the boiler, un- 

 less it is possible to connect it with the 

 main return from house No. 3. 



To heat the present houses and, in ad- 

 dition, the house 21^^x45, as described, 

 it will be well to select a boiler with 

 a rating of about 1,250 square feet of 

 radiating surface. Or, if another house 

 like house No. 1 is added, the radiation 

 needed will require a boiler with a rat- 

 ing of about 2,000 square feet.

A local paper says: "Instead of 

 flowers on Mothers' day next year why 

 not use ribbons? It will be cheaper 

 and shut off the florists' graft. It 

 won't be so easy for the department 

 stores to jump the price of ribbon 600 

 per cent, like the florists did on flow- 

 ers." — .1. H. Orth comments that "if 

 the high price of flowers for Mothers' 

 days will not come down, this is what 

 will happen." 



Mothers' day vas better this year by 

 seventy-five per cent. Carnations sold 

 as high as 25 cents each and found buy- 

 ers at that. Some of the stores claim 

 that they did more business than at 

 Easter. 



Business for Memorial day is good 

 and it will be a elean-up for all plants- 

 men in and around this city. Bloom- 

 ing plants will be scarce and what 

 geraniums are in bloom will sell at 25 

 to 35 cents each. Funeral work has 

 been good.

You can 



save fuel, time and money and have a 

 better growth of stock, by draining 

 your steam lines and returning the 

 condensation direct to your boilers- 

 placed above ground— as pure, hot 

 feed water. 



If you wiUr 



use, in place of your present unsatis- 

 factory methods, /^ installation of 

 the Morehead Baci^-to-Boiler Sys- 

 tem, you will find -t^t the tempera- 

 ture of your greenltDuses will always 

 be steady and uniform. 



Now will you 



write us yoiu- conditions and have 

 our engineers go into your particular 

 problem and then show you how it 

 will be possible to make a real saving 

 for you? Will you do this today- 

 right now? It will be to your ad- 

 vantage.
