 The 82d annual convention will be held at De- 

 troit, Mich., June, 1907. 



The season's peony price lists indi- 

 cate that several growers are well 

 stocked on Festiva maxima. 



The statisticians have figured out that 

 the railroads of the United States use 

 80,051,000 cross-ties each year. 



The Flushing Nurseries, Flushing, N. 

 Y., have been incorporated with $1,000 

 capital stock, the incorporators being 

 T. P. Lawlor and P. H. Lawlor, of 

 Flushing, and L. E. Lawlor, Brooklyn. 



The Storrs & Harrison Co., Paines- 

 ville, O., says that every season it re- 

 ceives a number of inquiries as to the 

 Stringfellow method of pruning and some 

 few try it, but not enough to show that 

 the practice of cane planting is gaining 

 converts. 



The Nebraska State Horticultural So- 

 ciety is in session at Omaha this week. 

 The officers are: President, J. H. Had- 

 kinson, Benson; first vice-president, H. 

 S. Harrison, York; second vice-presi- 

 dent, C. H. Green, Fremont; treasurer, 

 Peter Youngers, Geneva; secretary, L.

The first steamship service ever oper- 

 ated exclusively for the exportation of 

 American apples is being arranged fju 

 by Harry M. Isaacs, of a firm of fruit 

 importers of London. The ships, which 

 will ply between Boston and London and 

 Hull, will sail every two weeks and will 

 have a capacity of 20,000 barrels. 



The executive committee of the 

 American Apple Growers' Congress has 

 decided to hold the fourth annual meet- 

 ing of that body at St. Louis August 

 14 and 15 and has issued a call to that 

 eflfect. An arrangement has also been 

 made for an excursion for the members

HEATING SMALL HOUSES. 



I wish to ask you for information 

 about heating a house 14*4x20 feet, 



sides three and one-half feet, ridge eight 

 feet, three benches, two walks, to grow 

 miscellaneous stock. The lowest tem- 

 perature has been 13 degrees below zero, 

 and there are only a few days when we 

 need to heat in daytime during winter. 

 I heated the house with one air-tight 

 heater placed in the center below the 

 surface of the ground. What size of 

 boiler, and size and number of pipes, 

 will be required? How deep should the 

 boiler be placed, and how shall I ar- 

 range the pipes? I intend later to add 

 another house the same size. E. F. 



A small, upright heater, like the 

 Wilks, rated to care for 150 to 200 feet 

 of radiation, will be ample for this house. 

 A 2-inch flow carried under the ridge to 

 the far end of the house and returning 

 by eight 1*4: -inch pipes should be suflS- 

 cient to heat this house amply in your 

 climate. L. 0. 0.
