The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Dbceubeb 16, 1909. 



secured bad 2-inch returns been used in 

 the coils, there is no reason why all of 

 the coils, as now arranged, should not 

 circulate if the piping is properly put in 

 and the top of the boiler is two or more 

 feet below the lowest part of the returns. 

 I would have preferred, however, to u»e 

 a 2 1/4 -inch overhead flow, or two 2-inch 

 wall flows, and ten to fifteen 2-inch re- 

 turns. 



A TEXAS GREENHOUSE. 



We have a small upright boiler with 

 2-inch connections, for hot water. We 

 also have a lot of 2-inch pipe. We wish 

 to heat a house 20x100 and five feet 

 six inches to the gutter. In this part 

 of Texas we have quite a mild climate, 

 with a winter temperature which sel- 

 dom goes Jjelow 15 degrees above zero. 

 My plumber proposes to have the flow 

 pipes rise to a height of four feet above 

 the top of the boiler and then extend 

 on a downward slant to the farther end 

 Oi. the house, where thoy would be con- 

 nected directly with the returns. I 

 have proposed the installation of two 

 flows with a gradual ri^e to the farther 

 end, where they would drop straight 

 downward to the returns. In this lat- 

 ter case, would you put one line of 

 pipe on the north wall and one on the 

 purlin posts, or all on the north wall? 

 Or would you i)ut two flows on the pur- 

 lin posts and two returns on the north 

 wall? W. C. H. 



This question does not indicate the 

 <'la8s of plants to be grown in the green- 

 house, nor the temperature that is to be 

 required, but for 60 degrees I would pre- 

 fer to put in fifty per cent more radia- 

 tion. It would probably be possible to 

 hold the temperature uj) to .50 degrees 

 with the proposed system with the mer- 

 cury 15 degrees above zero. 



Either of the plans proposed would 

 give a good circulation, although I 

 would prefer to give the flow pipe a grad- 

 ual fall away from the boiler and then 

 bring the returns back as high as it is 

 possible to have them and still have them 

 where the heat is required. For a house 

 twenty feet wide, it would be well to nin 

 a flow pipe on each wall and connect 

 each of them with two 2-inch return 

 pipes, for 60 degrees. 



Using the other method, the pipes 

 could be connected with at the farther 

 end of the house by the use of manifolds, 

 which should be 2 inches in diameter. At 

 the other end of the house the coils could 

 be connected by means of a nipple, 

 which would join a tee upon one pipe 

 with a right and left ell upon the other.

The "riorist's Favorite" Out Flower Box is the best and neatest-made box on the mar- 

 ket to-day. The board used is a very fine, high-Krade Manila, highly calendered, tirm and 

 smooth. The inside is white, giving the box a very neat and attractive appearance. All of 

 the sizes listed are made from this grade of board; heavy stock in the large sizes and 

 lighter in the smaller ones. 



Our Improved Look Corner never unhooks. The creasing is such that the corners do 

 not break; however, they fold very easily and are quickly set up and make a very shapely 

 box. All covers are notched on the edge-thls Is an advantage in removing the cover; it im- 

 proves the looks and the tops are eaiiily distinguished if there is no printing. The large Ship- 

 ping. Design and Pillow Boxes have, a hole punched on each side of the top or cover, about 

 two inches from the edge, which is very convenient when removing the cover. All "Favorite" 

 Boxes are made full telescope, therefore stronc and rlsld, and will not collapse as the shal- 

 low-cover boxes do .
