noted. Whether or not this is accom- 

 plished will depend upon the radiation 

 in the houses and the firing of the boiler. 

 The house 34x60 feet can be heated 

 by using nineteen runs of 2-inch pipe, 

 extending the length of the house. These 

 can be arranged in manifolds of four 

 pipes, each supplied by an independent 

 flow, the flows carried either overhead or 

 under the benches. L. C. C. 



ALCOHOL AS FUEL. 



Can you tell me how many units of 

 heat there are in a gallon of denatured 

 alcohol, and how many units there are in 

 a ton of hard or soft coal? I am think- 

 ing of building a range of greenhouses 

 of about 10,000 or 12,000 feet of glass, 

 and wonder if it could be heated with 

 alcohol. I am now using hard coal; it 

 cost me a little over $.'500 last winter to 

 heat 6,000 feet of glass. I am looking 

 at the difference there would be in the 

 work to be done. S. N. M. 



From the best information at hand, I 

 learn that the heat units in a pound of 

 alcohol are just about the same as in 

 a pound of the best bituminous coal. In 

 order to compete with coal at present 

 prices as fuel, the alcohol would have to 

 •sell for from 3 to 4 cents per gallon.

RocKLEDGE, Fla.— Alexander Millar, 

 formerly in business here, is now located 

 at Dallas, Tex. 



Abilene, Kan.— Ray Miller, of the 

 Walnut Hill Greenhouses, has pulled 

 down his oldest house and is putting up 

 two new ones. 



Gloversville, N. Y.— G. W. Pool has 

 nearly completed the erection of a new 

 house twenty-seven feet wide, annexed to 

 his old range. This makes five houses al- 

 together, three in carnations, one in roses, 

 and one in palms. He has a new oflBce 

 also, in which he keeps a line of fancy 

 jardinieres for sale. 



When yon order that new boiler, omit the 

 common stationary grate bars and get the
