does not give satisfactory results. One 

 of them, 20x75, is piped with two 3- 

 inch flows and ten 2-inch returns. 

 Another is a small house, ten feet by 

 thirty-eight feet nine inches, and seven 

 feet high. For it a 2-inch flow is taken 

 from one of the 3-ineh pipes in the 

 house 20x75; it contains five 1%-inch 

 flows and three 1^-inch returns. The 

 temperature in this house went as low 

 as 40 degrees last winter. The third 

 house is thirty-three feet ten inches 

 by thirty-four feet six inches, and ten 

 feet high. It is piped as follows: 

 Twenty-eight 1-inch pipes, connected 

 with a 2-inch manifold and a 2-inch 

 pipe to the boiler. This house requires 

 a temperature of 50 degrees at night. 

 The small house should have a tem- 

 perature of 60 degrees at night. 



E. 8. 



For the new house, twenty-nine feet 

 two inches wide, use two 2i4;-inch flow 

 pipes and twelve 2-inch returns. The 

 boiler should heat all of the housed 

 easily. Not only should all of the flues 

 be kept open, but it would be better 

 if the steam space were filled with 

 flues also. The plan suggested would 

 be dangerous. 



The amount of radiation in the other 

 houses is about right, but in the house 

 thirty-eight feet nine inches long it 

 would be better to use two 2-inch flows, 

 with three IMt-inch and three 1%-inch 

 returns. In the house thirty-three feet 

 ten inches by thirty-four feet six 

 inches, use two 2i^t-inch flows and 

 either eighteen l^^-inch or fifteen 2- 

 inch returns.

The Market. 



Two or three good, soft rains, lasting 

 for several hours each, have resulted in 

 material improvement in vegetation 

 throughout this state and everthing is 

 showing to better advantage than a 

 fortnight ago, but the growth had been 

 seriously retarded and the various crops 

 will be two or more weeks late. 



Carnations are practically out of the 

 local market and the few that are 

 seen are poor. Asters are coming in 

 slowly and are in fair supply, whites 

 being rather short. They bring 1 to 

 2 cents at wholesale. Gladioli are be- 

 coming more popular every year, princi- 

 pally in the light shades. A fine strain 

 of deep red was offered the last fort- 

 night, but practically went begging. 



The New 



"Detroit" Return Trap 



The only successful modifications in Tilting Traps made 

 in years have been embodied in the "Detroit." Improve- 

 ments in the design and construction of "Detroit" Traps 



have been made 

 possible by an- 

 other recently al- 

 lowed patent con- 

 trolled by this 

 company. 



In writing for 

 prices, advise 

 number of square 

 feet of glass in your 

 houses, together 

 with horse -power 

 of boiler and steam 

 pressure carried.

Our factory is busy getting out Traps

 three the last six months, paying the big 

 duty on them, because our Traps are 

 money makers.

Roses have sold better this summer than 

 in many years, ranging from 1 to 8 

 cents at wholesale. Whites have been 

 scarce, but an improvement is noted. 



Various Notes.

 formed at Greystone and plans are al- 

 ready under way for a flower show
