AiOICAN ASSOCUTMN OF NURSCRYMCN. 



PtcBmN. W. Hale, KnoxvlUe, Tenn. ; Vice- Proa., 

 J. A. Weber, St. Louis; Sec'y, Geo. C. Seacrer, 

 Koohester, N.T.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Bochester, 

 K. T. The twenty-eighth annual convention 

 Will be held at Atlanta, Ga., June, 19M. 



M. C. Reynolds, of Phoneton, O., 

 secretary of the Albaugh Nursery Co., 

 is dead, aged 62 years. 



W. A. Peteeson, Chicago, is at New 

 York and attended the meeting of the 

 American Peony Society this week. 



Len Small, of A. L. Small & Son, 

 Iiurserymen, of Kankakee, 111., has been 

 nominated as the republican candidate 

 for state treasurer. 



The cherry is one item for which 

 nurserymen may with confidence count 

 on good prices for some seasons. Stocks 

 are light and demand heavy. 



The bay tree is steadily rising in pop- 

 ular favor and those nurserymen whose 

 importations were larger than ever this 

 spring found a ready market. 



This is the season at which the peony 

 occupies the attention of many nursery- 

 men. There has been big business in 

 this line in the last few years. 



The American Park and Outdoor Art 

 Association is holding its annual conven- 

 tion at St. Louis this week. Few nur- 

 serymen have attended since the first 

 year or two. 



The large loss of stock on private 

 estates during^ the past winter has 

 brought a considerable demand for spe- 

 cimen plants of many species to fill 

 gaps in plantations. Very good prices 

 are being paid for stock for immediate 

 effect 



Edwin H. Eiehl, the nurseryman 

 near Alton, 111., is introducing a new 

 strawberry known as No. 28, which is a 

 cross of Brandywine and Euby. It is 

 an extra large, early variety, of good 

 shape, fine color, firm and sound and 

 of large producing quality. 



BUILDING AND PIPING. 



I want to build two greenhouses 18x 

 50 feet, with side walls five and one-half 

 feet high and ten feet to ridge. The 

 houses will run east and west, the south 

 house to be used for carnations, the 

 other for mixed stock. There will be 

 three benches in each house. I have a 

 No. 15 Hitchings boiler. Will it be 

 large enough to heat the two houses 

 when it is about zero outside? The car- 

 nations will require 50 and the mixed 

 stock 65 degrees. Would it be advisable 

 to put in an emergency boiler? I have 

 4-inch boiler flues for the north house, 

 also a lot of 1-inch pipe for the carna- 

 tion house. How many flows and re- 

 turns will I need! Or how many 3-inch 

 boiler flues will it take? I can buy 

 these cheap. How should I run the 

 pipes? Should I build even or three- 

 quarter span? The ground is level and 

 the houses wil^ of course, have a parti- 

 tion wall. C. J. L. 



Under most circumstances it is best to 

 run the ridge north and south and use 

 the even-span type of structure. To 

 maintain the desired temperature in the 

 "mixed house" with 3-ineh boiler tubes 

 it will require nine runs of pipe. A 3- 

 inch riser might be carried under the- 

 ridge and eight more runs placed under 

 the benches if the pressure system is 

 to be used. If open circuit is used all 

 of the nine runs can be arranged under 

 the benches. If 1-inch .pipe is used in 

 the carnation house a 2% -inch flow un- 

 der the ridge feeding twenty-four 1- 

 inch returns placed under the benches 

 will be required. It is not advisable to 

 attempt to heat a greenhouse with 1- 

 inch radiation pipes and a hot water 

 plant; the pipes should not be less than 

 1^-inch and if 1% or 2-inch so much 

 the better. If 3-inch tubes are used in 

 place of the 1-inch pipe, arrange the 

 pipes the same as specified for the other 

 house. It is likely that the No. 15 

 boiler will be large enough but if you 

 wish to make provision for extreme con- 

 ditions run two lines of 1-inch pipes 

 under each side bench and three under 

 each center bench, a 1.%-inch riser un- 

 der the ridge and connect all up to a 

 four horse-power steam boiler which can 

 be fired in extreme weather. If you 

 have the pipe and can pick up a fairly 

 good second-hand boiler that will safely 

 carry ten to fifteen pounds pressure this 

 will be found to be a very economical 

 plan. The hot water will serve durii^g 

 mild weather and the steam will provide 

 against any possible loss during severe 

 weather if the two are run in conjunc- 

 tion. L. C. C. 



If the ridge is to run east and west 

 by all means build three-quarter span 

 houses with the long side to the south. 



PIPING. 



Will you kindly tell us how many 

 lines of 3-inch pipe it will take to heat 

 four houses 20x100? Temperature is 58 

 degrees at night. Also how many lines 

 of 3-inch pipe it will take to heat two 

 houses 10x100? In one house the tem- 

 perature is 58 degrees at night and the 

 other house for propagating, tempera- 

 ture 55 top and the bottom 65 degrees. 

 "\Vill a 6-inch main be large enough? The 

 height on the large houses to the ridge 

 is twelve feet and the small houses 

 eight feet. A. N. C. 



The housfs 20x100 feet should each 

 be provided with seven runs of 3-inch 

 pipe and the small houses, 10 x 100 feet, 

 with five lines of pipe. I assume from 

 figures given that hot water heat is to 

 be used and that a water temperature 

 of at least 180 degrees will be main- 

 tained. Under these condtions a 6-inch 

 riser, or main, will provide for the 

 houses. I^. C. C. 



•ToHNSTOWN, Pa. — The partnership of 

 Schrader & Schmidt has been dissolved 

 and William Schrader will start a new 

 business on his own account. 



Aberdeen, S. D. — On Decoration day 

 one and one-half inches of rain fell in 

 a very brief time and C. A. Spink's 

 greenhouse was struck by lightning, 

 about 200 feet of glass being destroyed.
