turns in the boiler-room and run into the 

 boiler with a 3-inch pipe. Put on a vent 

 pipe where the main return drops to the 

 boiler. Put a valve on the vent pipe and 

 open it when you start your boiler. This 

 is the place for the air to escape. When 

 steam comes out, close the vent. Anchor 

 all pipes at the main end and put a 

 swivel joint on the boiler end. Build 

 your houses with a pitch of three inches 

 to 100 feet toward the boiler; then the 

 steam system and everything will work 

 to the best advantage. Have plenty of 

 head-room in the boiler house.

STEAM BOILER AND PIPE. 



What size boiler for steam will be re- 

 quired to heat 11,000 feet of glass to 54 

 degrees in Kansas climate! I have sev- 

 eral thousand feet of 2-inch and 2% -inch 

 pipe and some 3-inch. Can it be used 

 for flows! If so, what should be the 

 size of the returns! M. B. 



A 48-inch return tubular boiler would 

 be the best size to install for this job. 

 It is rated about one-half over your re- 

 quirements, but it is always best to have a 

 little over, as you will be building some 

 more houses in the future. You can use 

 your 3-inch pipe for the mains and the 

 2-inch and 2 V^ -inch for the returns. You 

 can put in some 2-inch pipe, figuring as 

 three 114-inch pipes. Do not put this 

 as near the benches as you would 1%- 

 inch, as it will dry them up pretty fast.

LOV^ BUSINESS CHANGE. 



The firm of Hugh Low & Co., Bush 

 Hill Park, Enfield, England, has been 

 voluntarily dissolved and is to be con- 

 ducted in future by Stuart H. Low, one 

 of the former members, under the title 

 of Stuart Low & Co. You may perhaps 

 think it well to make some editorial 

 comment on the alteration of the per- 

 sonnel of such an old and world-renowned 

 firm, in which so many of your own 

 leading gardeners have graduated. In 

 the early part of last century it was 

 already a power in the horticultural 

 world, under the late Hugh Low, whose 

 enterprise brought to notice many varie- 

 ties of Mexican and Californian conif- 

 erse, New Holland plants. Cape heaths, 

 camellias, etc. When the reins were 

 taken by the late Stuart Henry Low, 

 orchids were a specialty, and no comer of 

 the world was safe from his collectors, 

 his brother, Sir Hugh Low, Blunt, Smith, 

 Boxall, Tucker, BruckmuUer, Lehmann, 

 White and Curnow all sending home 

 large imports of what are now the main 

 occupants of our orchid houses, and dur- 

 ing his regime the glass at Clapton
