 north side. W. L. C. 



You fan make the t'hanjje as indicated, 

 but it will be well for you to use the 

 four 2-in(*h pi[)es now aervinjj as flows 

 for returns, place them either on the side 

 walls or uncler the benclies and run the 

 .'{-incli riser under tlie ridge of the house, 

 as suggested. You can diHj)en8e with one 

 of the four pipes if you clioose, but if 

 you tlirow out four 'J-inch pipes and in- 

 stall only one 3-inch flow you will reduce 

 the radiation somewhat, which is not de- 

 sirable, as you now have just about the 

 rijjht amount for a temperature of fiO 

 degrees. L. (!. C.

 olus fields of Mr. Crawford also were a 

 feature. Among the exhibitors were Wm.

 amateurs. Papers were rea<l as follows:

 grown. Large quantities of funeral 

 work are shipjied to neighboring towns. 

 There are also two acres in celery and 

 onions, in which the stock is excellent. 

 The firm's second season, beginning Sep- 

 tember 1, gives great promise of a trade 

 that will take the entire output.

 ence ill carnati«ms and roses, etc.. has 

 charge of that part of the work. There 

 is also a concrete cooling room for cut 

 flowers, a work shop and sales room 14x 

 93 feet, with a C(mcrete floor. There is 

 over a half mile of macadamized walks 



in the greenhcuises, which are located two 

 IjJocks from a railroad station, in the 

 heart of the city. The coal and other 

 materials are all unloaded from the cars 

 into the bins or work room. A contract 

 has been made for Pyrolite coal for the 

 coming season, in the belief that any of 

 the many g<iod grades of coal are more 

 economical than cheap grades. C. S.
