In order to maintain the temperature 

 you desire, about 500 feet additional 4- 

 inch pipe will be necessary. With pipe 

 of this size, it would be well to plan, 

 if possible, to arrange it all under the 

 benches. Four-inch cast pipe does not 

 lend itself well to the overhead style of 

 piping. L. C. C. 



CHARCOAL IRON FLUES. 



We are using a tubular boiler and 

 have to put new flues in it this year. 

 We have just been told that charcoal 

 iron flues are more durable than steel. 

 We should like your opinion. M. J. 



The charcoal iron was formerly ex- 

 tensively used for boiler tubes, but in 

 recent years steel has almost entirely 

 replaced it, so much so that charcoal iron 

 tubes are hard to get and much more 

 expensive. The charcoal iron tubes are 

 undoubtedly superior, but whether the 

 difference will justify the trouble and 

 cost is a question. L. C. C. 



LOCATION OF MAIN RETURN. 



We are planning to heat with steam, 

 with coils of 1-inch pipe for returns on 

 the side walls of the -houses. Each group 

 of these would be joined together at the 

 «nd of the house and then connected to 

 the return main, which would run on the 

 ground across the ends of the houses 

 and then to the potting shed and boiler 

 room. This return main would empty 

 into the receiving tank, from which the 

 condensation would be returned to the 

 boiler by a steam trap. Must this re- 

 turn main be below the water line of the 

 receiving tank, or will it do to leave it 

 on the ground level and then place the 

 receiving tank in a shallow pit or well 

 beside the boiler and low enough so that 

 it will be below the level of the return 

 main, thus keeping the return main 

 drained all the time? W. H. 



Jf you have a good drop from the coils 

 into the main return and can place the 

 receiving tank low enough so the return 

 will drain into it, there will be no diffi- 

 culty. Do not arrange it so there can be 

 any back pressure by water rising in the 

 main or secondary returns. L. C. C. 



Winona, Minn. — The old Central 

 greenhouses, at the corner of Howard 

 and Washington streets, which have been 

 vacant since Mrs. Siebrecht removed to 

 the Fourth ward, are now being torn 

 down. 



The Standard 

 Steam Trap 



is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist because it is durable, and does 

 its work without trouble and annoy- 

 ance, saving: its cost by the economy 

 in coal bills.

MARION, IND. 



Gunnar Teilmann has bought out J. 

 W. Bernard, purchasing the greenhouses, 

 stock, store, fixtures and all that goes 

 with the business. He is intending to 

 remodel the entire place and run it in 

 connection with the Maple Heights 

 Greenhouses, which he has made well- 

 known by his success with chrysanthe- 

 mums, especially with the early flower- 

 ing of Monrovia. The purchase will give 

 him the best location in the town and a 

 glass area of about 30,000 square feet. 

 He says he expects to more than double 

 his retail business. August 12 Mr, Teil- 

 mann had a number of Monrovia with 

 well developed blooms of good size. He 

 has three or four benches of early va- 

 rieties of chrysanthemums, among which 

 is an early white, named Princess Eliza- 

 beth, which he considers especially prom- 

 ising. August 12 several plants were 

 showing color in the buds. It is an
