from the boiler through the shed? From 

 this I wish to run the piping along the 

 side -walls and middle partition wall. T 

 have a quantity of l^^-inch pipe which I 

 wish to use as returns. On the north 

 wall I have a 2 1^ -inch pipe which I wish 

 to use as a flow. How many l^^-inch 

 returns must I have on the north wall? 

 If I place a 2^ -inch flow also on the 

 south wall and on each side of the mid- 

 dle partition, how many l^^-inch returns 

 will be needed in each case? These flows 

 are all to branch off from the main which 

 will run through the shed. The returns 

 would all enter a main return, to connect 

 with the boiler again. What would be 

 the size of this main return? I wish to 

 maintain a temperature of 50 degrees. 

 The outside temperature seldom goes be- 

 low zero. I will not have raised benches.

In my judgment you would do well to 

 modify your whole plan, if the area at 

 your disposal and the lay of the land will 

 permit. Run the houses north and south. 

 Place the boiler-house at the north end 

 and center it on the partition between the 

 two houses. For all houses save rose 

 houses or large shed houses, the even- 

 span north and south house gets the most

light during the winter months. To heat 

 these houses with hot water, use a 2-inch 

 flow and eight li/^-inoh returns on each 

 wall of the houses, i. e., four 2-inch flows 

 from the boiler direct to the four 

 walls on which coils are to be arranged. 

 If this cannot be arranged for, carry a 

 3-inch flow direct to each house and di- 

 vide it to supply the two 2-inch supply 

 pipes for the coils of ll^-inch returns.

Mark Aitken has almost recovered 

 from his long illness.' The boys are 

 glad to again see him around. During 

 his absence the business was ably taken 

 care of by Carl Goodenough. Fine stock 

 is being produced in the greenhouses, 

 under the careful eye of W. Morgan. 



Frank Burfitt took hold again at his 

 old stand, 500 Broadway, Chicopee Falls,

J. Kobinson, Sr., is improving in 

 health. He had quite a hard siege. 



W. Schlatter & Son are picking fine 

 violets. They think highly of the new

N. F. Higgins has been kept busy 

 with wedding decorations, being obliged 

 to hire outside help. 



Osterman & Steele report good busi- 

 ness with funeral work. They capture a 

 big share of the work for secret orders.
