ers, even though only three houses are 

 to be built at first. A boiler which 

 will heat two houses to 65 or 70 de- 

 grees would provide 45 to 50 degrees 

 in three or four houses, and would be 

 found more economical for that pur- 

 pose than a larger boiler. This would 

 also leave one boiler in reserve, to be 

 used in case of a breakdown of the 

 other. 



Nearly all of the greenhouse boilers 

 in common use will give economical re- 

 sults. The use of the mercury genera- 

 tor makes it possible to heat the water 

 to a point above 212 degrees, and by 

 doing this the amount of radiation re- 

 quired can be considerably reduced. On 

 the other hand, the same or even a 

 little larger boiler capacity will be 

 needed and more fuel will be required 

 to obtain the same results as with an 

 open system. 



The size of the flue and stack should 

 be carefully adjusted to the boilers. 

 One rule is to have the area of the 

 flue about one-sixth of the grate area, 

 for boilers of the size that will be 

 needed for three or four houses like 

 the ones described. This would mean 

 a stack about eighteen inches in di- 

 ameter. The height would depend upon 

 the surroundings, but forty feet would 

 probably answer if this would bring it 

 well above the neighboring buildings. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



The summer season is now at hand 

 and it will be a case of vacations for 

 a couple of months. The month ended 

 well, with a number of weddings, and 

 figures show the largest number of li- 

 censes ever issued for June. There 

 were no large weddings, but the smaller 

 ones used a lot of stock. Sweet peas, 

 bachelor's buttons and other outdoor 

 stock are most in demand, with indoor 

 stock none too good in quality. Koses 

 are rather plentiful, but fly open so 

 quickly that they are a losing proposi- 

 tion. 



Various Notes. 



The Crippled Children's Guild held its 

 tag day a few days ago and sold car- 

 nations in the place of tags. The sum 

 realized was $2,300. A good day's busi- 

 ness, but not for the florist. This, how- 

 ever, is much better than giving the 

 tag, for someone sells the carnations. 



The firm of Altman & Cloudsley, styled 

 as the Lenox Flower Shop, has dis- 

 solved. Mr. Altman will continue the 

 business under the same name. Mr. 

 Cloudsley has been in the business a 

 number of years and has always taken 

 an interest in the doings of the trade. 

 He was connected with the William 

 Scott Co. before going into business for 

 himself. 



James Longley, who has been in the 

 employ of W. J. Palmer & Son, has left 

 to take a position as manager in Erie.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y. — John Ralph 

 recently put up the most elaborate dec- 

 oration ever seen at this place. It 

 was for a silver wedding celebration 

 at the mansion of W. L. Hall and 

 called for the use of large quantities 

 of Beauties, roses, peonies and carna- 

 tions, besides greens. Not only was it 

 a fine order, but it was handled so well 

 that it was an excellent busiuess card 

 for the florist. .

Mr. English is an American, born in 

 Chicago. The Trap bearing his name is 

 the only Trap that never sticks. The
