ORANGE, N.J. 



The tenth anniversary of the founda- 

 tions of the New Jersey Floricultural 

 Society was observed in an appropriate 

 manner on October 7. Short addresses 

 were made by the charter members pres- 

 ent and by Arthur Herrington and Chas. 

 H. Totty, among the visitors. The floral 

 and vegetables exhibits were choice and 

 filled the tables in the center of the hall, 

 while the decorations of palms and ferns 

 were from the collections of John Cros- 

 by Brown and William Bunkle. One 

 specimen adiantum four feet across re- 

 ceived 95 points at the hands of the 

 judges. 



Interest centered, however, in the riv- 

 al display of orchids from Henry Graves 

 and William Barr and the Cattleya labi- 

 ata of Edwin Thomas and Arthur Bod- 

 well were seen side by side. There were 

 also several other interesting displays.

TROUBLE VITH CIRCULATION. 



We have six houses running east and 

 west from a central boiler shed, three on 

 each side. The houses are 125 feet long 

 attached and each contains two four-foot 

 benches and three walks. The side walls 

 are eight feet high and the houses are 

 well built. Each house has two flows, 

 all 3-inch except those on the south side 

 of the middle houses, which is 2% -inch. 

 The returns are all 1^-inch, twelve un- 

 der the benches in each south house, nine 

 under the benches in each of the middle 

 houses, five under the south bench and 

 six on the north wall in each north 

 hoTise. The flows are close to the gutters. 

 The main from the boilers is 6-inch until 

 it passes the north house, 5-inch to the 

 middle house, 4^-inch to the next flow 

 and 3-inch to the last one. The. whole 

 system has a fall of one inch to twelve 

 feet. The return at the boilers is a 6- 

 inch and has four feet drop. The ex- 

 pansion tank is over the boilers, where, 

 also, is the highest point in the flow. 

 We use two eight-section cast iron boil- 

 ers each with grate 40x38 inches and 

 352 square feet of fire surface. There 

 appears to be a sluggish circulation 

 through the entire system, although all 

 ooilg heat up alike. Best gate valves 



with full openings are used. We must 

 have 60 degrees when it is 20 degrees be- 

 low zero outside. Can you suggest a 

 remedy for the difficulty? H. K. 



The system seems to be well arranged 

 and the piping should be ample to main- 

 tain the temperature desired with a quick 

 return of the water to the boilers. The 

 only point which occurs to me as a draw- 

 back is the length of the flow and returns 

 used. When the flow and return pipes 

 exceed 100 feet in length, hot water on 

 the gravity system is seldom altogether 

 satisfactory. If the expansion tank 

 were to be elevated several feet above 

 the highest point in the heating system 

 it would undoubtedly somewhat hasten 

 the flow df water and would at the 

 same time somewhat increase the tem- 

 perature of the water as it leaves the 

 boiler by placing the system under a 

 higher pressure. If the boilers are set 

 so as to have a good draft and good 

 fuel is used they should be amply large 

 to provide the desired temperature. 



I am inclined to believe that by mak- 

 ing the most distant pointj the highest 

 point in the system, a slightly increased 

 efficiency would be obtained but whether 

 or not the added eflBciency would repay 

 the expense of the modification is a 

 question I cannot answer. I am inclined 

 to think it would not. 



The one alternative which suggests 

 itself in this connection is that of plac- 

 ing a circulating pump in the returns 

 near the boiler and forcing the water 

 through the system at the desired rate, 

 depending upon the outside temperature.

BEST FOR RETAILERS. 



Enclosed is a dollar, for which send us 

 the Beview for one year. We think it 

 the best paper for the retail trade.
