much forcing for Easter. I should say 

 that in your state, if placed in a cool 

 greenhouse two weeks before Easter, 

 they would be in season. Much de- 

 pends on the weather. If cold and dull, 

 two or three more days might be needed. 

 If they come out rather early, replace 

 them in the cellar, where they will keep 

 fresh much longer than in the green- 

 house. C. W. 



ELBERON, N. J. 



Hortictslttiral Society. 



The first annual dinner of the Elberon 

 Horticultural Society took place Feb- 

 ruary 10, at the Deal Country Club. The 

 tables were beautifully decorated and the 

 menu was all that could be desired. 

 About 100 partook of the feast. Arthur 

 Herrington acted as toastmaster. Among 

 the notable guests present were the Long 

 Branch city council, John Shore and W. 

 E. Maynard. 



The Elberon Horticultural Society held 

 its regular meeting February 15. After 

 routine business had been transacted, N. 

 Butterbach read a paper on * ' Roses, ' ' 

 which was listened to with marked atten- 

 tion and was followed by a spirited dis- 

 cussion by all the members present. This 

 evidence of interest pleased Mr. Butter- 

 bach so much that he thanked the mem- 

 bers for the pleasure it gave him to read 

 to such an enthusiastic meeting. 



A hearty vote of thanks was given Mr. 

 Butterbach. W. B. 



Beavek, Pa. — It is reported that the 

 Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad will 

 -soon begin the construction of green- 

 houses on ground owned here. Flowers 

 and plants grown in these greenhouses 

 will be distributed among the various 

 stations of the road, to adorn the lawns 

 around the depots. 



WoRCESTEK, Mass. — Early in the 

 morning of February 16, one end of a 

 boiler at H. F. Littlefield's greenhouses 

 was forced out by an explosion and some 

 glass in the boiler-room windows was 

 smashed. The explosion was discovered 

 before the greenhouse temperatures had 

 dropped enough to injure the plants. Oil 

 stoves were put in barely in time to save 

 the stock from blight. The boiler was 

 quickly repaired and the total loss was 

 slight.

ESTIMATING RADIATION. 



In building a boiler, how many square 

 feet of heating surface to the foot? One 

 square foot of boiler heating surface will 

 heat how many square feet of hot water 

 radiation? j jj ip 



It is estimated that one square foot of 

 heating surface in a hot water boiler will 

 provide heat for eight square feet of 

 radiation in the heating system. 



If a pipe heater is in question, the 

 heating surface will depend upon the size 

 of the pipe used, each square foot of ra- 

 diation being supplied by two lineal feet 

 of 11/,-inch pipe, or two and three-tenths 

 lineal feet of 1^4 -inch pipe, or one and 

 three fifths lineal feet of 2-inch pipe.

B. H. I. 



The boiler in question is rated between 

 seventy and eighty horse-power, probably 

 seventy-five horse-power, and has a heat- 

 ing surface of approximately 1,000 square 

 feet. The grate area will depend upon 

 the character of the fuel to be used. If 

 the fuel is hard coal, there should be 

 one square foot of grate surface to forty 

 of heating surface; if soft coal is used, 

 one to eighty. The boiler should, there- 

 fore, have a grate with twenty five square 

 feet of surface for hard coal or twelve
