Greenhonse Heating. 



PUT THE SYSTEM RIGHT. 



In the work of heatinjj the houses it 

 is impossible to overestimate the value 

 of strict attention to detail, and to good 

 workmanship throughout. An excellent 

 scheme may be easily spoiled by what 

 might be considered trifles in the mat- 

 ter of getting out levels, or through in- 

 sufficiency of valves, or by the use of 

 valves of inferior make and pattern. 

 Things may go right for a time on a 

 new system of piping, even if the work 

 is not really well done, but after a 

 time some little item may go wrong 

 and throw the whole system into bad 

 working, and necessitate expensive re- 

 pairs. 



The first consideration in the arrange- 

 ment of a system of heating should, of 

 course, be the boiler, and here several 

 things have to he considered, such as the 

 kind of fuel which is to be used, the 

 water with which the boiler has to be 

 fed, and lastly, the amount of piping 

 that has to be heated. In connection 

 with the last-named point, economy at 

 the outset is likely to lead to extrava- 

 gance during the whole jieriod of the 

 existence of the ap])aratus. for a boiler 

 which is not really well above its work 

 has to' be fired hard in severe weather; 

 consequently the wear and tear on boiler 

 iind grate bars is excessive. Moreover, 

 the hard stoking consumes an excessive 

 quantity of fuel. This strain upon the 

 apparatus and the waste of fuel may 

 be avoided by having a boiler that lias 

 a capacity for more piping than is used, 

 and by using in combination with it 

 more than the average jiiping in the 

 houses, says a writer in an English gar- 

 deners' magazine.

Gentlemen:— You can siroogly and unhesitatingly recommend the 

 "Eclipse" piston type reducing valve to florists. We have two purchased 

 of you last year. We would not have them out for double their cost and 

 find them as s<>n8itive as a watch. We will be in Chicago soon to take up 

 the vacuum system with you. Yours truly,

most anything that looks like a flower 

 finds a ready market. Of course it is 

 time for the regular fall business to 

 open, and it is expected that there will 

 be a good demand, but the fact that 

 flowers are scarce has helped things 

 greatly and the price has been boosted 

 accordingly. The principal demand is 

 for funeral flowers, white and light col- 

 ors going best. 



Boses show considerable improvement 

 ill quality. The cool nights are doing 

 them worlds of good. There are not 

 enougji coming in to take care of the de- 

 mand, though, and the price rules fairly 

 high for the season of the year. Beau-

 regularly quoted figures. Other varieties 

 of red roses are equally scarce and in 

 good demand. Carnations are slow in 

 coming into bloom this year. There are 

 few on the market, though they are of 

 fair quality. Asters are about done, but 

 dahlias are making up for them and are 

 selling well and at a good price. R. B.
