The Weekly Florists' Review. 



June 1. 1903. 



of the leading florists of Louisville, Ky., 

 is visiting her daughter here. Your cor- 

 respondent was employed by Mr. Geisel 

 in the year above mentioned. 



George "Wagner closed his store on 

 Maryland avenue the past week. The 

 store goes back to its original lessee, 

 E. H. Michel, of the Michel. Plant and 

 Bulb Co. 



Charles Schoenele will soon leave bach- 

 elor 's quarters and join the benedicts. 

 Then "Rose" will have another thorn. 

 Charlie is at present with Mrs. M. M. 

 Ayers on Grand avenue. 



Frank Fillmore, state vice-president of 

 the S. A. F., will be on hand at the next 

 meeting of the club with blank applica- 

 tions for those wishing to join the society 

 before the August meeting. 



Fred Meinhardt, whose place is ad- 

 jacent to the cities of the dead and who 

 does the bulk of the work there, has had 

 all he could possibly do this spring and 

 there are scarcely any bedding plants 

 left for sale. \ 



On Friday night a banquet was ten- 

 dered Messrs. Weber and Miller by a few 

 friends at the Missouri Athletic Club. A 

 large floral ship adorned the head table, 

 fifteen attending. 



The next Florists' Club meeting will 

 take place next Thursday afternoon at 

 John Steidie's place, in Central, Mo. 

 The members are requested to meet at 

 the corner of Delmar and De Baliviere 

 avenues in time to take the one o'clock

HOT WATER HEAT. 



I am building a house 24x80 feet for 

 mixed stock, to be heated by hot water 

 in IV^-inch pipes. How many runs of 

 pipe do I need to carry a night tem- 

 perature of 50 degrees when it is 20 

 degrees below zero outside? How should 

 the pipes be distributed, all under the 

 outside benches or part under the middle 

 benches? The sides of the house are five 

 feet high, with three feet of boards and 

 tar paper and two feet of glass. The 

 ridge is twelve feet high and both gables 

 are glass. JIow large a boiler do 1 

 need? J. H. B. 



With both ends of the house filh^l 

 with glass, and exposed on all sides it 

 will be necessary to put in twenty lines 

 of lV-!-in<'h piP^ ^" order to maintain 

 the temperature you mention. It will bs 

 desirable to place twelve or fourteen 

 of the lines of pipe under the side 

 benches and the balance under the middle 

 bench. If a 2-inch overhead-flow pipe be 

 used eighteen returns will be sufficient. 

 Valve some of the pipes, for you don't 

 have 20 degress below every night in 



winter. A boiler of about five or six 

 rated horsepower, or one having about 

 seventy-five square feet of heating sur- 

 face, will be required. However, a lar- 

 ger boiler than that actually required 

 is always preferable. L. C. C.
