Greenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard 

 to any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Keview to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. The greenhouse 

 heating equipment advertised in this 

 paper is, we believe, the best for the 

 trade to buy, and each article the best 

 in the special field of its adaptation. 



SWING CHECK VALVES. 



Will a swing check valve work satis- 

 factorily on the return end of a steam 

 pipe? At present I have valves on 

 both ends, but wish to avoid running 

 from one end of the house to the other 

 when turning off steam from certain 

 pipes. W. D. O. 



If the coils are four to six feet above 

 the check valve, there should be no 

 trouble about using it with low pres- 

 sure steam, ^- ^• 



THE COAL MAEKET. 



If keen students of the nation 's mar- 

 kets have formed the right estimate of 

 the condition of the coal business and 

 of business in general, the whole situa- 

 tion is full of warning for any florists 

 who are in the habit of deferring the 

 purchase of a large proportion of their 

 coal till fall. If the coal men are cor- 

 rect, the warning looms up big and 

 black, like a vast storm clQud. 



Business, it is said, is showing un- 

 questionable signs of improvement, but 

 the rate of improvement is extremely 

 slow, on account of the obstacles and 

 discouragements still to be encountered. 

 Some time must pass, therefore, before 

 good headway can be attained in the 

 upward trend of trade, and before much 

 progress can be made in disposing of 

 belated and accumulated business, such, 

 for instance, as the transportation of 

 coal. For a certain amount of business, 

 such as the marketing of coal and other 

 useful commodities, must be transacted 

 sooner or later, in order to supply the 

 necessities of life. It may be tran- 

 sacted in steady, reasonable volume 

 throughout the season or in xyimanMe- 

 ably large volume after a long period 

 of inactivity. Hence it seems likely 

 that immense quantities of coal must 

 be moved in the doming fall, with in- 

 adequate facilities Jor its movement,
