Come Out on Top ! 



Keep your boiler up on the ground where 

 it is readily accessible for firing and 

 repairs. There's a way to save time and 

 money— trouble and expense- and still 

 obtain the same drainage facilities. 

 That way is to install the 



SYSTEM 



The Morehead System keeps your steam 

 lines dry, hot; increases the circulation 

 and assures a perfect drainage. It feeds 

 the condensate directly to your boilers, 

 thereby maintaining the constant tem- 

 perature so necessary in the greenhouse. 

 And it's so simple, too— so sure. Ask 

 for the complete facts.

2-inch return pipes, which should run 

 on the walls back to the boiler. The 

 flow pipes should be given a slight fall 

 and the expansion tank should be con- 

 nected to the highest point in each flow 

 pipe. 



The conservatory appears to coutain 

 from 1,070 to' 1,150 square feet of glasa 

 and a considerable increase in the pres- 

 ent amount of radiation will be needed 

 if 60 degrees is to be maintained. As 

 suggested by J. H. A., I would advise 

 using the present flow pipes as returns, 

 placing one more on each side to give 

 the required amount of radiation, in 

 addition to the two 214-inch flow pipes. 

 When the boiler is sunk only one foot 

 below the level of the floor, I would 

 advise putting in a mercury generator 

 or some other means of carrying the 

 water under pressure. 



Clyde, 0.— At Hall's Greenhouses, 

 White Enchantress seems to be break- 

 ing all records this winter, followed 

 closely by the rest of the family. 

 Northport will be discontinued, as will 

 some seedlings which have been on 

 trial. There are three benches devoted 

 to snapdragons, one of white, one of 

 yellow and one of Ramsburg's Silver 

 Pink, from which a cut is expected by 

 Easter. Callas are doing well.
