You Will Save 



by installing The Martin Rocking Grate. Costs a little more 

 than ordinary grates, but the coal burns— it doesn't go into the 



ashpit. 



We refer to Peter Reinberg, Emll Buettner, Bassett & Washburn, Wietor Bros.. 

 Aflara Zander, Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Seed Co., and many others. 

 Tbey will tell you to order the Martin RooklnB Grate for the new boilers 

 to be put in this season. Write for catalogue and prices.

on the first floor. The data given, how- 

 ever, is not sufficient to tell just how 

 much radiation or how large a boiler 

 will be required, since this depends 

 largely on the amount of window sur- 

 face, which is not stated. The quantity 

 of each of the different sizes of pipes 

 is not stated. 



In a general way, a building of the 

 size and kind described will require 

 about 1,200 square feet of radiating 

 surface, plus two-thirds as much as the 

 area of glass in the windows, to heat 

 it to 70 degrees. For 65 degrees, the 

 quantity can be reduced fifteen per 

 cent. 



As a rule it is better to use 1%-inch 

 or 2-inch pipe for hot water, and unless 

 the boiler can be in a cellar or base- 

 ment, it might be better to use steam 

 for the building described, in which 

 case the amount of radiation can be 

 reduced one-half. A twenty-five horse- 

 power boiler would undoubtedly be suf- 

 ficiently large for heating the building. 



BOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



Last week's weather was good for 

 flowers. It was cool and cloudy, with 

 enough sunshine and rain to make 

 things grow. Hence the supply is abun- 

 dant and the demand is equally good. 

 Asters and sweet peas seem to be most 

 abundant, and the quality of both is 

 good, though many of the asters have 

 short stems, due to the dry weather 

 during July. Boses are scarce and 

 are sold about as soon as they come in. 

 White roses are at a premium and bring 

 a good price. Lilium Harrisii are 

 scarce and so are callas. Killarneys, 

 Marylands, Kaiserins and Wards are 

 all of good quality. Sweet peas are 

 much better than they have been for 

 some time. Lilies of the valley are 

 holding up well and bring a good price. 

 Gladioli are in good condition and much 

 more plentiful than at the last writing. 



Garden flowers are in great demand. 

 Many private gardens, being neglected 

 during the hot spell, suffered from 

 drought; consequently the owners of 

 these gardens must now come to the 

 florists for flowers for all occasions. 

 Hence the great demand, and all sorts 

 of garden flowers bring a good price. 

 Cornflowers retail at 10 cents per 

 dozen; Golden Glow, 25 cents per 

 dozen; phlox, 35 cents per dozen; gla- 

 dioli, $1 per dozen; asters, 50 cents 

 per dozen; yellow daisies, 25 cents per

Two Tanks vs. One 



Only the amall tank moves and by this construc- 

 tion we have overcome the objections to the large 

 tUtlDff traps with their large trunnions, caasing 

 excessive wear and friction. With the 



English Steam Traps 



all valves and working parts are made of bard brass 

 and are on the outside— therefore, easily accessible. 

 They never stick. Always free acting.

dozen. Carnations are few and far 

 between and there is little call for them 

 during August. 



Trade in general is rather dull, but 

 there is enough left to let one feel that 

 there is still some life throbbing under- 

 neath the lethargy of summer. A few 

 important funerals helped to make 



things more lively last week and a 

 decoration or two added their share. 



Various Notes. 



Exquisite pink gladioli and handsome 

 Easter lilies in fancy imported vases, 

 combined with Australian ferns, made 

 up the artistic window display at E. C.
