from beater to greenhouse, and install 

 250 feet of l^^-inch pipe in the house 

 in the form of a heating coil under the 

 benches. This is based on a tempera- 

 ture of 60 degrees. Seven pipes in a 

 coil running around three sides of the 

 house will be sufficient. L. C. C. 



A TRIP TO MT. CLEMENS. 



The writer recently spent a day among 

 the growers at Mount Clemens, Mich., 

 and regrets that the visit could not be 

 extended a week, as the hospitality of 

 the florists in the Bath City is unlim- 

 ited. 



August Von Boeselager's was the first 

 place visited. This is^ not the largest 

 place, but for neatness and modernness 

 it is above the average. The main prod- 

 uct so far has been carnations, but it is 

 Mr. Von Boeselager's intention to de- 

 vote considerable space to roses. La 

 Detroit, Kaiserin, Sunset, Killarney and 

 Bon Silene will be grown. In carnations 

 the most space will be given over to En- 

 chantress; in white. Moonlight and 

 Lady Bountiful will be the chief prod- 

 ucts. Rose-pink Enchantress and Mr. 

 Von Boeselager's own sport of Lawson 

 are also to be grown. In chrysanthe- 

 mums, only the old staple varieties will 

 be given space. Some space will also be 

 devoted to single and double violets. 

 The whole range is to receive a new coat 

 of paint. Mr. Von Boeselager believes 

 in having things up-to-date. One good 

 feature noticed was a rack made of or- 

 dinary ^-inch mesh wire netting and 

 nailed up in each house to hold the hose 

 when not in use, to prevent rotting. 



John Carey was the next man visited. 

 As usual, he was bead over heels in work. 

 It is a pretty hard matter to find out 

 from Mr. Carey just what his intentions 

 are for the future, but from present ap- 

 pearances it is certain that the usual 

 large variety of roses, carnations and 

 chrysanthemums will be grown. Some 

 space will also be devoted to violet cul- 

 ture. Although no new houses are 

 planned for this season, the old ones are 

 being given a thorough overhauling that 

 will make them look new. 



It's a long walk from Carey's to 



Small Steam Pipes 



What do you think of a on«-lncta 

 pipe feeding 720 feet of one-inch pipe, 

 or of a one-quarter inch pipe feed- 

 inK 188 feet of one-inch pipe coil ? 



All with a.pre88ure in steam mains 

 of less than zero or atmosphere. 



We are equaline this performance 

 and Becuring a complete circulation 

 and without any cracking; or pound- 

 ing. 



Will tell you more for the asking.

James Taylor's place, up near the ceme- 

 tery, especially with the thermometer at 

 about 90 degrees in the shade, but Mr. 

 Taylor's glad hand more than squared 

 matters. He was attired in a suit of 

 overalls somewhat besmeared with the 

 florists' best friend (cow manure) when 

 we stormed his place. All the houses 

 were practically empty, or in different 

 stages of emptiness, to make room for 

 next season's stock. Boston Market is 

 Mr. Taylor's favorite in carnations. 

 Lawson, Enchantress and Rose-pink En- 

 chantress will also be grown. Mr. Tay- 

 lor will have a large assortment of all 

 popular varieties of chrysanthemums, to 

 meet the demand this fall. A new cross 

 house is being erected in place of the 

 shed, which is being torn down. Mr. 

 Taylor's old dwelling is also to be re- 

 modeled into an office.

From Taylor's we cut across the rail- 

 road tracks to A. L. Stevens' green- 

 houses. The stock in Stevens' houses 

 showed that it is not being neglected, 

 even though this is the dull season. This 

 firm believes in getting all the returns 

 possible out of the houses; Lady Boun- 

 tiful is Mr. Stevens' favorite carnation 

 and most of bis glass will be devoted to 

 it. Lawson, Enchantress and Flamingo 

 are also on the list for 1908. It is still 

 doubtful if violets will be grown. 



Robert Klagge was probably working 

 harder than any man in the city when 

 we ran across him. Two new Atlaa boil- 

 ers, each sixteen feet by seventy-two 

 inches, have just been put into position,
