PIPING. 



We have three houses running north 

 and south. In our old system of heat- 

 ing the boiler was at the north. The 

 houses slope to the south. We have five 

 2-inch pipes just under the gutters and 

 branching off into 1^-inch pipes under 

 the benches for returns. They of course 

 drain back to the boiler. Could we hitch 

 our boiler to the south end of these 

 2-inch pipes and drop into the 1^4 -inch 

 pipes at the north end by raising them 

 at the north and lowering at the south 

 and get as good results! K. F. C. 



I see no reason why you should not 

 arrange the pipes so as to work satis- 

 factorily in the way you suggest. It is 

 not necessary that the high point in a 

 hot water system be immediately over 

 the boiler; in fact, it is well in systems 

 where small pipes are used to have the 

 highest point in the system at the point 

 farthest from the boiler. The returns 

 should, however, in all cases, have a 

 good fall toward the boiler.

DONTT PAINT PIPES. 



Our place is heated by steam and our 

 pipes are close to the ground. They are 

 rusted considerably and we would like 

 to know if it is advisable to paint them 

 with oil and lampblack. Or what else 

 would you recommend for the purpose? 



W. P. C. 



This question has been answered be- 

 fore, but it will do no harm to restate 

 the matter. It is not advisable to paint 

 the radiating pipes in greenhouses. 

 Rusty pipes give off more heat than 

 painted ones and the fumes resulting 

 from almost any "paint" are very in- 

 jurious to plant life. L. C. C. 



Mitchell, S. D. — The Newbury's have 

 completed three new houses, each 14x120, 

 and have all their roses and carnations 

 planted. They have also added a room 

 15x30 to the office. 



HuNTiNGTOK, N. Y. — The Huntington 

 Horticultural and Agricultural Society 

 decided at its last meeting to offer money 

 prizes at its next annual fall exhibition, 

 which takes place in September. 

 Liberal prizes are already being re- 

 ceived and it is anticipated that the 

 next show will exceed its predecessors in 

 size and interest, Any offers of prizes 

 should be sent to Walter Shaw, chairman

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage 

 of the same, must be possessed with gooa judgment and are generally suc- 

 cessful. One of our successful growers will this year take out 6,000 feet of 

 wooden gutt ers, which are on ly 5 years old, and replace the same with 6,000 feet of 

 the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order. 



Our long list of orders of this kind are is best reference. By writing any of 

 the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the
