Where There Is Condensation

— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in 

 Bteam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per- 

 fectly — return .the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that 

 impulse — write now.

 Run the flow pipes downhill. A boiler 

 rated for 2,000 square feet should 

 answer. 



FROM STEAM TO HOT WATER. 



I have two houses, each 30 x 65 feet, 

 fourteen feet to the ridge and five feet 

 to the eaves, with four feet of glass in 

 the south sides, none in the north and 

 all ends glass to the sills. A thirty 

 horse-power boiler, return tubular type, 

 is located between the houses at the 

 west end, and the top of the boiler is 

 below the returns. These houses are 

 now piped for steam, but I intend to 

 change to hot water. What plan would 

 you suggest in order to obtain a tem- 

 perature of 50 degrees, with an outside 

 temperature of 15 degrees below zero! 

 There are no benches. Mj' location is 

 central Connecticut. H. A. N, 



For the main flow and return use 

 4-inch pipes; from the main flow one 3- 

 inch pipe can be carried to each of the 

 houses. If more convenient, the 3 fnch 

 flow and return for each house may con- 

 nect directly with the boiler. In each 

 house use three 2Vi-inch flow pipes. 

 Run one under the ridge and one on 

 each wall plate. In addition there 

 «hould be three coils of four 2-inch 

 pipes each, in each house, as returns. 



PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



There is not much change in business 

 flince last report. Chrysanthemums are 

 coming in quantities and are realizing 

 fair prices. The wholesalers complain 

 that the cost of packing boxes for 

 chrysanthemums is so great that there 

 is not much profit in handling them. 

 There seems to be plenty of everything 

 seasonable coming in. We have not had 

 a real killing frost to date. 



Various Notes. 



The retailers are all making beau- 

 tiful window displays of chrysanthe- 

 mums and autumn foliage, the prepared 

 oak sprays coming in just right. 



The show at Schenley park is at- 

 tracting great crowds. The attendance 

 •October 27 was 20,000. The display 

 •keeps getting better every day.

at 8. A. F. Convention August 20. Chicago, 111.; also by the many 

 visiting florists who attended the convention: Close spacing of 

 the flues ; the long fire travel, making the water heat more 

 rapidly and giving the full benefit of the fuel ; also the ease with 

 which the boiler can at all times be INSPECTED and 

 KEPT CLEAN both inside and outside, which preserves the 

 life of all boilers.
