BOILER AND PIPING. 



Please tell me the number of feet of 

 1^/4 -inch pipe to heat two houses 16x50 

 feet and one 20x30, each nine feet to 

 ridge, with three-foot side walls? Houses 

 are all connected. The boiler is thirty 

 inches wide and ten feet long, with 

 twenty-one 3-inch tubes. Is it large 

 enough? J. L. 



To maintain a temperature of 60 de- 

 grees in your houses during the coldest 

 weather will require for the house 20x30 

 fifteen runs of 1^4 -inch pipe, or better, 

 fourteen runs of 1^-inch and a 2i^-inch 

 overhead flow pipe, using the 1^4 -inch 

 pipes as returns. For each of the houses 

 16x50 there should be a 2-inch over- 

 head flow pipe and twelve runs of 1^4- 

 inth as returns. Part of these returns 

 should be supplied with valves so that 

 they may be turned off in case it is de- 

 sirable to run one house at a lower tem- 

 perature than the others. Not more than 

 two-thirds of the boiler capacity will be 

 required to heat the present range. Six 

 square feet of grate surface will be re- 

 quired for hard coal, and four square 

 feet for soft coal. An expansion tank 

 of at least twenty gallons capacity will 

 be necessary, and should, if possible, be 

 connected at the highest point in the 

 system. L. C. C. 



KANSAS QTY. 



Slock is about the same. Roses are 

 very small and carnations are very short- 

 stemmed, most of them being cut in the 

 field. American Beauties are scarce. 



John H. Vesey is cutting some nice 

 long-ftemmed dahlias that he is growing 

 Inside. 



R. S. Brown & Son are cutting some 

 good asters and eanna flowers. 



Kansas City florists who went to the 

 convention and to see the Pike were W. 

 L. Rock, Arthur Newell, Albert Barbe 

 and Samuel Murray, Miss Alma Beeler 

 and Mrs. Ellsworth, of Geo. M. Kellogg 's 

 letail store. 



Mrs. Fannie L. Brittain has returned 

 from an eastern trip of six weeks. 



Mr. and Mrs. Ed. A. Humfeld have re- 

 turned from a trip throughout Colorado, 

 looking fine. 



Hans Tobler, of Traverse City, Mich., 

 was here on a visit to his brother, Jacob 

 Tobler, the south side florist. L. M. S.
