system will work, or do all the flows have 

 to be of equal height? F. W. B. 



The piping should be suflScient to 

 maintain a temperature of 55 to 60 

 degrees during severe weather. The plan, 

 as I understand it, should work satisfac- 

 torily, with the pipes carefully graded. 

 The flow pipes are larger than necessary 

 or desirable for quick delivery of hot 

 water to the returns. L. C. C. 



MORE DATA VANTED. 



I have a boiler eleven feet long and 

 five and one-half feet deep; round shell, 

 with water space all around. It con- 

 tains 4%-inch flues and 3-inch return 

 flues. Will this boiler heat three houses, 

 21 feet 8 inches wide and 120 feet long, 

 with side walls six feet high; one house 

 10x120 feet; one house 28x60, one house 

 20x36, and an oflSce 20x20! The boiler 

 heats my present place in good shape, but 

 I will rebuild and add new houses next 

 summer. L. O. 



You do not give suflScient data regard- 

 ing your boiler to enable us to answer 

 your question. It is not clear how many 

 houses you wish to heat, but I take it 

 you wish to heat three houses, each 21 

 feet 8 inches wide by 120 feet long, and 

 in addition one house 10x120 feet, an- 

 other house 28x60 and a sixth house 

 20x36, besides an oflBce room 20x20. 

 Please give length of flues, size of flues 

 and number of flues, as well as the type 

 of boiler, and whether you wish to use 

 hot water or steam. A diagram of the 

 plant would be useful. L. C. C. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market 



The week ending January 23 can go 

 on record as having been a good one. 

 The cloudy yet mild weather shortened 

 up stock all around, and, with a good 

 demand, everybody seemed to be satis- 

 fied. It also gave pink roses and carna- 

 tions a good color. White and Enchant- 

 ress carnations were much called for. 



Various Notes. 

 As a result of the good business thus 



Raised by 





An even temperature at a minimum fuel expense is assured by the use

gkntlkmkn:— You can strongly 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 sensitive as a watch. We will be in Chicago soon to take up 

 the vacuum system with you. Yours truly.

far this season, several growers are talk- 

 ing about adding more glass. The Hol- 

 ton & Hunkel Co. is doing so well 

 growing roses at the Brown Deer plant 

 that they will add two 400-foot houses 

 for tea roses. 



The Mueller & Schroeder Co. will put 

 up one 150-foot house for carnations. ' 



Manke Bros, are seriously thinking of 

 increasing their plant. They are show- 

 ing some Enchantress of fine quality at 

 the convention this week. 



Nic Zweifel already has his new house 

 under glass. This will give him 60,000 

 square feet in all. He is exhibiting some 



of his seedling carnations, which were 

 favorably commented upon at the recent 

 national flower show at Chicago, at the 

 Indianapolis convention this week. 



William Edlefsen, who celebrated his 

 sixty-third birthday January 19, in the 

 best of health and spirits, is in Pitts- 

 burg taking a much needed rest. 



C. C. Pollworth left for Madison, Wis., 

 Monday, January li5, and intended, if he 

 could get back in time to join the others, 

 to attend the carnation convention.
