PIPING A ROSE HOUSE. 



We are working on plans for a rose 

 house which we expect to build early 

 the coming year and wish a plan for 

 heating it. The rose house will be 21x 

 200, five feet to the plates, eleven feet 

 to the ridge. It will be connected on 

 the south side to our other houses and 

 will have a row of 20-inch glass in the 

 north side. It will have three benches, 

 each five feet wide. We have a 3-inch 

 main steam line, which comes up the 

 west end of the other houses. It 

 feeds three 200-foot houses. Would we 

 have to lay another line or would the 

 3-inch line be large enough to supply 

 the rose house? Please give us a plan 

 to heat this house to 58 degrees when 

 the temperature outside is 20 degrees 

 below zero. T. W. C. 



It is quite unusual to be able to pro- 

 vide heat for three houses 200 feet long 

 with one 3-inch flow. Each of the 

 houses should, under ordinary condi- 

 tions, be provided with a 2 1/^ -inch flow. 

 Each house demands about 1,000 feet of 

 radiation. The four houses, therefore, 

 need about 4,000 feet, which will re- 

 quire at least a 4^-inch main to safely 

 carry them. If the present plan is sat- 

 isfactory for the three houses upon it, 

 an independent 2 14 -inch riser can be 

 carried from the boiler direct to the 

 new house. A good plan for piping the 

 new house would be to carry a 2%-inch 

 riser to the most distant end of the 

 house and there divide it into three 2- 

 inch pipes, each to supply a manifold 

 built of tees and nipples to carry three 

 1%-inch returns under each of two of the 

 benches and four 1%-inch returns under 

 the bench on the most exposed side of 

 the house. L. C. C. 



ELBERON, N, J. 



The regular meeting of the Elberon 

 Horticultural Society was held on No- 

 vember 20, President W. D. Robertson 

 in the chair. There was a large attend- 

 ance. Nine new members were elected 

 and eight more nominated, and one life 

 member. An essay was read by W. H. 

 Waite on ''Gardens and the Garden- 

 ing Profession," which was well re- 

 ceived. There was a large exhibit of 

 cut flowers, notably a fine vase of En- 

 chantress carnations from W. D. Eobert- 

 aon, which scored ninety points; a fine 

 vase of Nelson Fisher carnations and 

 some splendid blooms of Golden Chad- 

 wick chrysanthemums from A. Bane, 

 scoring ninety points. 



Pecatonica, III. — John Winchester 

 has discontinued growing cut flowers, 

 finding it better to draw his supplies 

 from wholesale markets. 



ABUNDANCE (Whits) 



The phenomenal yielder, the freest, 

 earliest bloomer in existence, the most 

 profitable carnation ever offered to the 

 trade, easily gives four times as many 

 flowers as the freest bloomer already 

 introduced; a bench planted Aug. 31 is 

 now in full bloom to which there will 

 be no let up until thrown out next sum- 

 mer; come and see it, it will pay you If 

 you are in the market for a carnation 

 that will give you plenty of flowers at 

 all times and not only at certain times. 

 A good size, long stemmed flower. You 

 can make no mistake by stocking up 

 with It. Price for well-rooted cuttings, 

 SIO.OO per 100 ; $75.0U per 1000 ; 500 at 1000 rate ; 

 cuttings delivered as soon as rooted; 

 send in your order early as orders are 

 filled in strict rotation. Unrooted cut- 

 tings at same rates with 26 extra on 

 each 100. Cash before delivery.
