CARNATION AND ROSE HOUSES. 



I t'xpect to erect a greenhouse and 

 would ask about the piping. The carna- 

 tion house will be 18x60 feet and con- 

 tain 1,440 square feet of glass, and the 

 rose house will be 18x30 feet and con- 

 tain 720 square feet of glass. The 3- 

 inch flow pipes will enter the rose house 

 under the bench and, rising a foot, sup- 

 l)ly live runs of pipe going around the 

 house with proper fall, while a continua- 

 tion of this 3-inch flow will go under 

 the walk to the center bed and again 

 rise a foot to supply two runs under 

 the center bed. The carnation house is 

 laid out in the same way: one 3-inch re- 

 turn for the whole system. 1 prefer to 

 have all the pipes under the benches. 

 Is this piping satisfactory? Would a 

 hot-water boiler rated as having 1,300 

 square feet of gross radiation be too 

 large for this plant? F. D. B. 



I believe that with hot-water under 

 pressure you will receive better service 

 if you carry the flow from the boiler to 

 the farther side of the house and there 

 break it up to supply the five returns 

 under the bench, arranging the return at 

 the point you now propose to place the 

 flow pipe. ' The present system gives the 

 hot-water from the boiler at a point 

 where the house is protected and leaves 

 the cooler returns on the exposed side of 

 the house; by reversing the system as 

 suggested, the hottest water will be car- 

 ried to a distant point to supply pipes 

 on the exposed side of the building. If 

 11/^ -inch pipes are to be used, the piping 

 planned will be satisfactory except that 

 the runs in the 60-foot house are too 

 long, nearly 140 feet; long circuits of 

 this sort are not desirable. If 2-inch 

 pipe is used 280 feet will supply the 

 rose house and 692 feet the carnation 

 house with the necessary radiation.

The Eeview surely gets there as an 

 advertising medium; when I sent you 

 an advertisement of Jeanne Nonin chrys- 

 anthemum stock plants, the orders began 

 coming even before the paper reached 

 me. — W. J. Olds, Union City, Pa.

Now is the Time 



TO SEND FOR OUR ESTIMATES and decide on your contemplated 

 building work. An early order is early delivered, and early deliveries afford 



?'ou much more time for painting and careful erecting. If you wait until 

 ater, there will be " others " who have waited too long, and everyone then 

 wants their work " at once."

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 has this year taken out 6cx}o feet of 

 wooden gutters, which were only $ years old, and replaced the same with 6oco feet of 

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



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

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