contact with some of the water, causes 

 the knock, known as a water hammer. 



You have a good system, and I would 

 say that you can connect the other house 

 to the same flow and return, using the 

 same number of pipes as in the older 

 house. You may not have to run one or 

 two, but you have them if some of the 

 others go out of commission. G. T. E. 



HEAT FOR A SHOW ROOM. 



We are building one even-span, wood- 

 frame greenhouse, 24x63 feet, five and 

 one-half feet from the foundation to the 

 gutters and fourteen feet to the ridge. 

 There will be two lines of posts running 

 the length of the house, under the purlins. 

 There will be two feet of boarding at the 

 bottom of the house all around, with 

 glass above. There will be double doors 

 at each end. The house runs north-north- 

 east and south-southwest. It is intended 

 as a repository and showroom for a large 

 collection of general house plants, large 

 and small, choice and common. Hot 

 water will be used for heating. The fur- 

 nace will occupy an independent house at 

 one end, and only a few feet away. Our 

 coldest weather in this part of Oregon is 

 6 degrees below zero and we wish to be 

 fully prepared to overcome that, and a 

 little more if the tc-casion should occur. 



Please state how many flow pipes it is 

 best to use, their size, and where best 

 placed; also the size and number of re- 

 turn pipes. These return pipes will be 

 arranged in manifold fashion, around the 

 end and sides and upon the two feet of 

 woodwork below the glass. What tem- 

 perature should be maintained in winter 

 in such a house as this for the best all 

 around results? I. I. S. 



I would put in a 4- inch flow from the 

 boiler to the greenhouse, there divide into 

 three 2-inch flow pipes to run around the 

 house as far as the door, and then bring 

 them back, as returns, under the flows to 

 the main (4-inch) return, piping both 

 sides of the house the same. I shiniM 

 think about 60 to 65 degrees would be 

 the temperature for best results.

WABASH, I ND. 



The Conner-Ulsh Floral Co. has signed 

 a lease for the south side greenhouses, 

 which are owned by Hubert Haften- 

 kamp, of Grand Rapids, Mich. Mr. 

 Haftenkamp had owned the establish- 

 ment, while his brother-in-law, Frank 

 Goebel, conducted the business. The 

 latter recently took charge of Falls ceme- 

 tery and since then has not been able to 

 give suflScient attention to the green- 

 houses. For this reason the lease was 

 made. 



The Conner-Ulsh Co. has leased the 

 place for five years, with the privilege 

 of purchase. Mr. Conner, the chief 

 owner of the Conner-Ulsh business, 

 stated that the property will be thor- 

 oughly improved and placed in splendid 

 condition. His company had intended to 

 enlarge its north side space, as there is 

 not sufficient room. This lease makes 

 this unnecessary. 



Calvin Ulsh, brother of Alonzo Ulsh, 

 the junior member of the firm, will man- 

 age the south side branch. 



Enclosed you will find a check for the 

 renewal of my subscription to the Re- 

 view. I let it run out a few weeks ago 

 and I have missed the paper very much. 

 I think it is the best trade paper pub- 

 lished. — H. C. Holmes, Morristown, N. J.
