The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 7, 1904. 



PIPING A HOUSE. 



I intend to build a greenhouse 30z 

 100, nine feet to ridge. What is the 

 easiest and cheapest way to heat it by 

 hot water? What amount of pipes shall 

 I use! Shall I place the pit on the 

 north end or on the west side in the mid- 

 dle? The house will be used for carna- 

 tions, bedding stock, etc., requiring 

 about 48 to 50 degrees at night. 



J. G. S. 



Your house will require 800 feet of 

 radiation to maintain a night tempera- 

 ture of 50 degrees during severe weather. 

 To supply this amount of radiation witli 

 2-ineh piping it will require thirteen 

 runs of pipe through the house, i. e., 

 1,300 feet of 2-inch pipe. If the boiler 

 is to be located at one end, which is 

 probably bes^ a 3-inch riser should be 

 carried under the ridge to the far end 

 of the house and there divide to supply 

 the return pipes. Where the returns 

 are collected to re-enter the boiler a pipe 

 connected with an expansion tank should 

 be provided and the tank placed as far 

 above the top of the heating system as 

 possible; if it can be elevated fifteen 

 feet above the ridge of the house all 

 the better. The higher the expansion 

 tank the greater the pressure in the sys- 

 tem and the greater the pressure in the 

 system the higher the temperature which 

 can be obtained in the water in the boil- 

 er. An expansion tank with sixty gal- 

 lons capacity will not be out of propor- 

 tion for this plant. One of the best and 

 in the long run cheapest expansion tanks 

 is a galvanized iron hot water tank such 

 as is used in house plumbing.

ORANGE, N. J. 



The regular monthly meeting and ex- 

 hibition of the New Jersey Floricultural 

 Society for July was held on the first 

 instant in the society's rooms. Instead 

 of the brilliant display of roses of two 

 weeks ago, were the more stately Japan 

 iris and delphiniums which have never 

 been shown in such perfection in Orange. 

 It was of particular interest that the 

 same flowers come from so many differ- 

 ent hands, yet all of superior excellence. 

 William Barr's gloxinias were of large 

 size and with blooms which conceale-l 

 both pot and foliage. John Crogflay 

 Brown's collection of fruits and veg- 

 etables attracted by its tasteful arrange- 

 ment in which tomatoes, large for this 

 season, held a prominent place. The 

 plate of Lord Napier nectarine was "as 

 pretty as a picture." So close was the 

 contest for points that the entire even- 

 ing was consumed by the judges and 

 there was no essay or discussion. 



Among the exhibitors were: John 

 Crosby Brown, Peter Duff, gardener; 

 Wm. Barr, Arthur Bodwell, gardener; 

 Stewart Hartshorn, Arthur Capam, gar- 

 dener; A. Von Gaasbeck, Wm. Bennett, 

 gardener ; Mrs. Pierson, C. Ashmead, gar- 

 dener; C. Hathaway, M. Hornecker, 

 gardener; Wm. Runkle, D. Kindsgrab, 

 gardener; O. D. Munn, John Hays, gar- 

 dener; S. and A. Colgate, Wm. Reed, 

 gardener; E. J. Brocket, Thos. Maybury, 

 gardener. The judges were Arthur Cap- 

 am, Jos. A. Manda and Charles Ash- 

 mead. 



Among the exhibits not for competi- 

 tion were sweet peas treated by the 

 nitrogen fixing bacteria of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, Washington, by 

 Wm. J. Hesse, of Newark.
