The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 14, 1904. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Business the past week has been very 

 quiet. We have had a very dry spelJ 

 and it was hard on all plants, especial- 

 ly on field carnations, but on Friday 

 came a fine rain and it made things 

 look fresh again. The carnations in 

 this section are not up to last year, 

 growth rather small. 



The Kentucky Society of Florists lield 

 its monthly meeting July 5, at Eiver 

 View park, and it was largely attended. 

 The object of the meeting was to see 

 if the members would agree to raise 

 the prices on all kinds of plants as all 

 kinds of material .have advanced, espe- 

 cially coal, and lots of other things 

 which florists must have. 



Jos. Coenen & Co. 's house of carna- 

 tions, all the latest ones, is doing fine. 



F. Walker & Co. have moved into 

 their new store on Fourth avenue and 

 are ready to do a big business. 



Miss Alice Miller has moved from 

 her old stand to Jefferson, between Sec- 

 ond and Third streets. 



Wm. Mann is suffering with a bad 

 carbuncle. 



J. E. Marrett and family will attend 

 the Elks ' festival at Cincinnati July 18. 



Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Bohrman have Jeft 

 on their vacation and will be gone some 

 three weeks. They will visit Evansville 

 and the St. Louis World's Fair. 



Nanz & Neuner, out at St. Mathews, 

 are making a very fine rustic entrance 

 to their place. Hy. Lichtefeld. 



PIPING. 



Will you please state the amount of 

 return pipe a 2-inch flow' will feed? We 

 have a 3-inch main and wish to heat six 

 runs of 2-inch pipes 124 feet long, three 

 runs under each bench. Our idea was 

 to take two 2-inch flows from the 3-ineli 

 main and carry them to the far end of 

 the house, there feeding the 2-inch re- 

 turns. The boiler is four feet below 

 the returns and we can raise one inch in 

 each ten feet. C. & F. D. 



There is little doubt but that the 

 scheme proposed would work quite sat- 

 isfactorily. My idea would be to carrv 

 the 3-inch flow pipe under the ridge to 

 the far end of the house, there divide it 

 into 2-inch branches and feed three re- 

 turns under each bench from each of the 

 branches. A 2-inch pipe is capable of 

 supplying about 400 feet of radiation 

 and as the six 2-inch pipes 124 feet 

 long only have 481 feet of radiation, 

 one 2-inch supply is nearly large enough 

 to supply all six of them. With the 

 fall which can be given it is quite safe 

 to say that hot water can be made to 

 act quite satisfactorily in this length of 

 pipe, although in general it is not best 

 to endeavor to circulate hot water in 

 runs of pipe exceeding 100 feet in length 

 without a circulating pump.
