is well below the level of the pipes, 

 nothing smaller than 1%-inch pipe is 

 commonly used with hot water. If 

 the pipes are considerably elevated, 

 or if the runs are quite short, it might 

 be possible to use li4-inch or evon 1- 

 inch pipe, but 2-inch pipe is generally 

 preferred. If the end nearer the heater 

 is to be kept the warmer, it will be a 

 simple matter to pipe each house inde- 

 pendently of the other. Carrying the 

 flow and return pipes through the warm 

 bouse will tend to raise the tempera- 

 ture several degrees. To heat this 

 house will require about 120 square feet 

 of radiation and this means 240 linear 

 fedt of li/^-inch pipe. This can be 

 run around the walls and connected 

 with the boiler by means of 2-inch flows 

 and returns. To heat the addition, rui^ 

 a 2iA-inch pipe from the boiler to the 

 farther end and there connect it with 

 tet 2-inch returns arranged in two 

 coils. Connect each of these coils with 

 the boiler by means of a 2-inch pipe. 

 A hotbed such as described- can be 

 used to good advantage for starting 

 vegetable and bedding plants in the 

 spring.

Various Notes. 



•i^hrist Wolf met with a sad misfor- 

 tune .Tune IS, his sixteen year-old son, 

 Clarence, being killed while out bicycle 

 riding. An auto ran into him, killing 

 him almost instantly. Mr. Wolf, his 

 father, is greenhouse manager for Chas. 

 G. Offerle. Mr. Wolf has the sympathy 

 of his large number of friends and 

 Itrother florists. 



The working force of the Baur Floral 

 <.'o. is now complete. Jack Kallenbach, 

 the foreman, is at work again after an 

 illness of forty-four weeks, caused by 

 the kick of a horse. It was found 

 necessary to amputate Mr. Kallen- 

 bach 's left leg six inches below the 

 knee. With him as foreman, Eric 

 Thompson as assistant foreman, Eobert 

 Birnie in charge of the rose section, 

 Ed. Liohtinger in charge of the car- 

 nation section and A. J. Baur, the 

 president of the company, looking after 

 its business affairs, they expect to grow 

 a larger and better stock of plants and 

 cut flowers than ever before. 



The Erie Floral Co., of which H. J. 

 Wise is manager, is getting the place in 

 fine shape, with seven houses, 30x150, 

 in roses, and twenty houses, 24x125, in 

 carnations. This firm has the reputa- 

 tion of growing some of the best cut 

 flowers in Erie. 



J. y. Laver's trade has increased 

 to such an extent that he could sell 

 about three times as much as his place 

 produces. J. E. K. 



Jermyn, Pa. — James Nicholson, of 

 Jefferson avenue, has bought some 

 greenhouses from Burton H. Park for 

 .$1,700. 



Shenandoah, la. — Mrs. M. L. Sherman 

 has decided to withdraw from business 

 for about a year, on account of failing 

 health.
