Stuttle's Patent Cast Iron Pipe 



WITH PATENT JOINT CAST ON. 



Nothing so 

 GOOD 



For Hot Water 



YOU ought to get circulare and prices. Also circulars and prices on STUTTLE'S PATENT CLAMPS 



for joining boiler tubes, tighter, quicker, cheaper than by the old caulked-joint method.

one 44x108, containing fifty-one 2i4rinch 

 flues, with a round firehole through cen- 

 terp and one 36x108, horizontal, with 

 thirty 3-inch flues. We intend putting 

 in a larger boiler, and can get one 

 46x144, with forty-two 3-inch tubes, or 

 one 52x192, with sixty-four 3-inch tubes. 

 Would the one 46x144 be large enough 

 for the purpose? We grow roses, carna- 

 tions and mums; also bedding plants. 

 The boiler pit is seven feet deep. Will a 

 4-inch pipe be large enough for steam 

 main pipe? W. S. F. 



The boiler 46x144 inches, with forty- 

 two 3-incb tubes, should be ample to 

 carry the four houses, using steam. It 

 is a good plan to have a reserve boiler to 

 provide against accident. A 4-inch main 

 flow will do your work. Each of the 

 22-foot houses should have a 2%rinch 

 flow from the main riser to the far end 

 of the house, there dividing to supply 

 fifteen 114-iuch returns. The 16-foot 

 house can be handled with a 2-inch riser 

 and twelve l^^-inch returns. If the 're- 

 turns are carefully graded there will be 

 no diflBculty about returning the conden- 

 sation to the boiler, provided the water 

 line of the boiler is two feet or more be- 

 low the lowest heating pipes in the green- 

 houses. If you don't have the proj)er 

 fall you will have to put in a steam trap 

 to return the water of condensation to 

 the boiler. Better make the pit twelve 

 feet deep, if you can. 



HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS. 



I wish some further advice from you 

 regarding the treatment of Hydrangea 

 arborescens. Should it be cut back after 

 the flowering season, or in the spring, 

 like Hydrangea paniculataf 



L. A. G. 



Treat Hydrangea arborescens exactly 

 as you would H. paniculata, and it will 

 succeed well. The pruning can be done 

 any time after the foliage has fallen. If 

 put off until spring, finish it before 

 growth starts. C. W. 



PANSIES FOR NEXT SPRING. 



Next spring I would like to have pansy 

 plants in bloom and bud for commercial 

 purposes. Having never tried to grow 

 them and finding the books I have read 

 give such a vague idea, I wish I could 

 have the opportunity of finding some- 

 thing in the Beview^. I would also like 

 to know what priced seed I should use. 

 Also please state whether they should be
