This cut shows the AUTOMATIC BY-PASS of a 

 STANDARD PUMPING ENGINE, which allows you to get 

 any pressure from 10 to 90 pounds per square inch and not waste 

 a drop of water. You can turn' off the faucets and change 

 hog6, open: your faucets and get a full stream. No expensive 

 tower and tank are necessary when you have a STANDARD 

 PUMPING ENGINE. You don't have to pay extra for this, 

 it's part of the machine. 



Send for catalogue now, you will need a machine very soon.

plant. By using overhead flow pipes and 

 holding the returns as high as possible, 

 all condensation can be carried to a hot 

 well and returned to the boiler by means 

 of a steam trap. A return tubular boiler, 

 brick set, to do this work should have a 

 capacity to handle about 5,000 feet of 

 radiation. A boiler rated at fifty horse- 

 power should do the work. A common 

 size of such a boiler is fifty-four inches 

 by thirteen feet, with 684 square feet of 

 heating surface. The grate surface will 

 vary a little with the kind of fuel used. 

 The rule is, one square foot of grate sur- 

 face to forty square feet of heating sur- 

 <'ace for hard coal, and one to eighty 

 for soft coal. For hard coal a fifty horse- 

 power boiler should have seventeen 

 square feet of grate and for soft coal 

 about nine or ten square feet.

The Market. 



There has been no room to complain on 

 business for Valentine's day, which was 

 much heavier than last year. Violets 

 held full sway, as usual, and most of the 

 houses were out of them early in the day. 

 There were loads of other stock, which 

 moved well, especially after violets had 

 run out. Bulb stock was in abundance 

 and, from all reports, everything was 

 cleaned up nicely. 



Azaleas are in good supply and they 

 move nicely at good prices. The demand 

 on funeral work is still heavy and takes 

 up stock just about as it comes in. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 meeting February 11. There was a good 

 attendance. The secretary read an invi- 

 tation from Mrs. Griswold, at Worthing- 

 ton, O., inviting the club to a supper and 

 a dance February 25. No doubt a big 

 crowd will attend. The members are all 

 worked up on the bowling question. They 

 voted to form a regular club and the fol- 

 lowing officers were elected: Captain, 

 Jacob Reichert; secretary, Wm. Metz- 

 maier; treasurer, Jas. McKellar. It was 

 decided to form a team of the five high- 

 est rollers, and any time any other mem- 

 ber makes a higher average he goes into 

 the team and the other one drops out. 

 So there will be some tall bustling to get 

 into the team and to stay in.

BULBOUS PLANTS FOR EASTER. 



Would you please advise me whether 

 hyacinths could be started under the 

 benches now and brought to bloom for 

 Easter. The temperature of the house 

 is about 55 degrees at night. I would 

 also like to start some jonquils now. 

 Please give me your opinion on this. 

 S. S. 



Both hyacinths and narcissi may be 

 started under greenhouse benches. After 

 this date, however, unless you are short

of bench room, it would be as well to 

 place them directly in the light. It is 

 much too early to house Dutch bulbs in- 

 tended for Easter. This comes on April 

 19 this year, and if tulips, hyacinths 

 and narcissi are brought in from March 

 25 to 30 they will be in season. A 

 month hence the days are much longer, 

 the sun has considerably more power and 

 all bulbous plants come along very falst. 

 You can start the jonquils or narcissi in 

 batches as needed. They will flower in 

 from three to four weeks in a night 

 temperature of 55 degrees. C. W.
