manner the two rooms should be piped 

 independently, but since the low tem- 

 perature room is to be located at the 

 most distant part of the heating system, 

 it can be heated in connection with the 

 other room by dropping out two runs of 

 pipe on that side of the partition. If 

 --inch pipe is used, fifteen lines should 

 be provided in the portion to be carried 

 iit 55 degrees, and twelve or thirteen in 

 the lower temperature room. Two 2-inch 

 tlow pipes will be ample to care' for the 

 |hirteen returns which would be left, 

 ihese can be placed under the benches or 

 under the purlins, as you choose. An 

 f'xtra return can be added to the system 

 in the large room to supply the added 

 'adiation necessary for the increased 

 temperature of that room. L. C. C,

A RAMBLER'S NOTES. 



Your readers will be pleased to know 

 our old friend, William Scott, of Buf- 

 falo, is around again after his illness. 

 Just now he is rusticating at Corfu and, 

 incidentally, giving his son David point- 

 ers on bringing in. a big crop of roses 

 and carnations for Easter. At the home 

 place William, Jr., is manipulating flow- 

 ering plants. They have a fine lot of 

 hybrid roses in pots. Lilies are uncer- 

 tain. 



Both of the Kebstocks, of Buffalo, are 

 making fine window displays. This 

 being St. Patrick's anniversary, the 

 shamrock and green carnation are 

 abundant. 



H. Keitsch & Son find large increase 

 in business since occupying their new 

 store, which they have fitted with every 

 facility for handling high-class trade. 



W. F, Kasting is preparing for the 

 biggest Easter on record in his place 

 at Buffalo, and does not look for a 

 scarcity in any line. His capacious 

 storeroom is one of the largest, and any- 

 thing in the floral line can be obtained 

 from his able manager, Emile Brucker.

 falo, Foreman Charles Sandford has a

gorgeous display of flowering plants, in- 

 cluding a fine strain of cineraria from 

 Farquhar; not an off color in the col- 

 lection is a desideratum for the florist. 

 I also noted an equally choice batch at 

 the beautiful place of Mrs. Thompson, 

 at Canandaigua, where W. Ballantyne is 

 the able superintendent. A beautiful 

 sight was a peach house in full bloom, 

 buds well set, a promise of big crops. 

 This estate was planted last fall and is a 

 charming spot. Bobbink & Atkins fur- 

 nished several carloads of stock, while 

 the Julius Roehrs Co. has the order to 

 furnish the orchid house.

John Wise, formerly of Aurora, has 

 charge of the Kasting greenhouses at 

 Erie and is shipping first-class stock into 

 Buffalo. 



J. B. Keller's Sons, at Rochester, re- 

 port excellent business all through Lent. 

 One of the firm had just returned from 

 the east, where he bought heavily of 

 decorative stock. The call for palms is 

 on the increase and many who have * 

 neglected to carry as full line as for- 

 merly are stocking up. Their collection 

 of herbaceous plants is complete and the 

 stock is large. 



At the Kimball Conservatories, Roch- 

 ester, Colin Ogston showed me some fine 

 specimens of Angraecum sesquipedale 

 carrying spikes over two feet in length.
