MINNEAPOLIS. 



Cttrrent G>inment 



Thanksgiving week was a profitable one 

 for the florists here, notwithstanding the 

 bad weather preceding, and on the day 

 itself — coldi dark and rainy. The people 

 did not get out in such numbers as they 

 would if the weather had been more 

 agreeable, and there was a consequent 

 falling off in sales. Stock was plentiful, 

 except in carnations, which showed a 

 little shortage. Violets are coming in 

 more plentifully, and roses are good 

 everywhere. 



James Souden went awgy above his 

 last year's sales, and pronounces himself 

 well satisfied with the first holiday of the 

 reason. 



R. A. Latham had his usual good busi- 

 ness, and sold a large quantity of chry- 

 santhemums. 



The Minneapolis Floraf fco. Bold out 

 all its stock Thanksgiving eve, not having 

 enough to fill late orders. This firm 

 has a good crop of mums coming in be- 

 fore Christmas. 



Otto Will has left for Caldwell, Kan., 

 to be away from the city for some time. 

 Rumor has it that Mr. Will has suc- 

 cumbed to the charms of a southern lass, 

 and that he will not return alone. Cupid 

 was ever a sly fox, and at last our 

 genial, tall brother is caught in the toils, 

 and, judging from his exuberance of 

 spirits of late, he is a very willing cap- 

 tive. Congratulations and the best wishes 

 of the trade are with him.

THE USE CM' 2-INCH PIPE. 



We have two houses, 14x50 and 20x100, 

 which we wish to heat with hot iirater, 

 maintaining a temperature of 56 de- 

 grees. In this part of Texas the out- 

 side temperature is seldom lower than 

 15 degrees above zero, but it has gone as 

 low as zero. We have a small boiler, 

 with 2-inch connections, which we think 

 sufiScient to heat both houses. We also 

 have a lot of 2-inch pipe which we wish 

 to use. Can the 2-inch size be usedf 



W. C. H. 



There is no reason why the 2 -inch pipe 

 should not be used. In fact, I prefer it 

 for hot water to smaller sizes. The ob- 

 jection to it is that it is a little harder 

 to install than l^^-ipch or 1^4 -inch pipe.

SCARCELY ENOUGH RADIATION. 



I am located in eastern Iowa and 

 have a greenhouse 25x70, sixteen feet 

 to the ridge and eight feet to the gutter, 

 which I wish to heat with hot water; 

 Can I heat it with fourteen 2-inch pipes, 

 sixty-five feet long, using a 2-inch flow 

 to feed the coils t I have a boiler with 

 a capacity of 2,500 feet. J. G. C. 



You may be able to heat the house to 

 45 degrees in severe weather with this 

 installation. A temperature of 50 de- 

 grees requires the installation of sixteen 

 2-inch pipes, and unless you will feel

 better add two more lines of 2-inch pipe.

TO ESTIMATE RADIATION. 



What is the accepted rule for comput- 

 ing the number of lineal feet of pipe 

 and feet of radiation to a given glass 

 areaf Practical constructors have a rule 

 for estimating the necessary number of 

 running feet of J ^ -inch pipe, with other 

 sizes, in relation to the glass exposure. 

 Please make this problem plain. 



SUBSCBIBEB. 



After careful tests under varying con- 

 ditions, engineers have decided upon cer- 

 tain constants as representing the safe 

 piping for houses. These constants vary 

 for different boiler temperatures and for 

 the normal temperature desired in the 

 house. To illustrate: To maintain a 

 temperature of 70 degrees in a house 

 with hot water, when the boiler tem- 

 perature is 160 degrees, will require one 

 square foot of radiation for every 3.2 

 square feet of exposure. If the water 

 is 180 degrees, then one square foot of 

 radiation will carry four feet; at 200 

 degrees, 4.5 feet. If 1%-inch pipe is 

 used, it requires 2.301 lineal feet of pipe 

 to make one square foot of radiation. 



Now, given a house 20x100, with 3,360 



square feet of exposure: To heat this 



I house to 70 degrees, with water at 180 



degrees, will require as many square feet
