STEAM OR WATER. 



Please let me know how many runs of 

 pipe I need for five houses covering 60x 

 150, built on the Dietsch short-span prin- 

 ciple. The walls are cement half way 

 up, the balance glass. These are to be 

 used for carnations and are to be 

 warmed by hot water. Or do you think 

 steam better? I must keep 54 degrees 

 when it is zero outside. P. O. K. 



To heat your range with hot water, 

 using 2-inch pipe, twenty-eeven lines of 

 pipe will be required. To heat it with 

 steam, using 1 14 -inch pipe, twenty-four 

 lines will be required. With runs 150 

 feet long steam is in general most satis- 

 factory unless some form of circulating 

 pump is used in the hot water system, 



A steam system will entail the ex- 

 pense of a night fireman unless hard 

 coal is used. This is the chief drawback 

 to steam, while the cost of installing hot 

 water is an item to be considered. If you 

 contemplate enlarging the plant in the 

 near future steam would be preferable.

" NEW CASTLE, IND. 



The stock is in fine shape with all the 

 growers here and each one is in line for 

 a very prosperous season. 



The South Park Floral Co. is just 

 completing two more large rose houses. 



Wm. Dittman has just purchased land 

 for an extension next spring which will 

 practically double his glass area. He 

 had a very good September, his cut be- 

 ing large at a time when' Beauties were 

 not abundant in the Chicago market, 

 with the result that his returns for the 

 month were larger than those for last 

 December. 



I AM well pleased with the Eeview 

 and think the dollar invested in my sub- 

 scription is bringing me big returns. — 

 Emil Koeppen, St. Louis, Mo.
