boiler and the use of steam heat. The 

 returned condensation has only about 

 one and a half to two feet of a drop 

 and that does not seem to work ; the 

 circulation is poor and we think we can 

 improve it if we can place the pipes 

 high enough. So we have pulled out 

 the piping and now wish to get expert 

 advice as to how to do the repiping 

 properly. F. B. C. — Mass. 



In order to secure a better distribu- 

 tion of the heat in the house, I would 

 prefer to run a l^/^-inch flow on each 

 plate and another under the ridge, and 

 connect each of them with three 1%- 

 inch returns, those at the sides to be 

 carried on the walls and the others to 

 be distributed under the benches, all 

 being carried as high as.possible. I am 

 in doubt as to just how high the mid- 

 dle returns can be carried and hardly 

 like the idea of running an overhead 

 flow in the middle of a low house where 

 tomatoes are to be grown. It would 

 be al right for carnations, especially 

 as the middle run might be cut out 

 in mild weather. If there is room for 

 the necessary drop, I would put in a 

 coil of four 114 -inch pipes under the 

 middle benches and connect them at 

 the boiler end, bringing the drip back 

 in a common return. 



DETROIT. 



Breitmeyer's opened their beautiful 

 new store, in the David Whitney build- 

 ing, March 27. This is, without any 

 exception, the best appointed flower 

 store in Detrojt, No expense has been 

 spared in equipping the store, which is 

 located on a corner just opposite the 

 new Hotel Statler. The store itself is 

 about 18x45 feet, with fine show win- 

 dows at the front and side. 



E. A. Fetters reports business as be- 

 ing excellent in his new location. For 

 the last week an immense marguerite 

 plant has attracted hundreds of people 

 to the window. This plant is referred 

 to on a card as being the largest of 

 the kind in America and no doubt it is. 

 Mr. Fetters has started a guessing con- 

 test and the person guessing nearest to 

 the number of blooms on the plant on 

 Saturday, April 3, will receive a five- 

 dollar box of flowers on Easter Sunday. 



A distinguished member of the De- 

 troit Florists' Club, E. A. Scribner, 

 paid the Schroeter-Stahelin Co. a visit 

 last week. 



J. F. Sullivan has an exceptionally 

 fine lot of lilies this year and is dis- 

 posing of his surplus to good advantage 

 among local retailers. 



B. Schroeter has his usual fine lot 

 of plants, among them being some really 

 wonderful Rhododendron Pink Pearl. 



The weather turned severely cold on 

 Sunday, March 28, and Monday morn- 

 ing the thermometer registered 14 de- 

 grees. Let us hope that when this is
