Where There Is Cofldeosatioo 



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

 steam 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.

are double boarded to a height of twa 

 feet; above that they are glass. I am 

 now heating the house to 55 or 60 

 degrees with six runs of ll^-inch pipe 

 on one side and across one end, and 

 one 2-inch flow overhead, using steam. 

 The pipe is all on one side on account 

 of three other houses which abut at 

 right angles, with doors opening into 

 each. Please inform me how much, if 

 any, pipe I shall have to add if I 

 change to hot water. Also tell me how 

 many lineal feet of 2-inch pipe or 

 flues, bricked in the same as in a 

 water tube boiler, will be required to 

 heat the house with hot water to 55 

 or 60 degrees, in this New York 

 climate. 



I have another house, 22 x 110 and 

 eleven feet to the ridge, with sides five 

 feet high, two and one-half feet of 

 which is glass. This house contains one 

 3-inch flow and two 2-inch returns on 

 each side. Is this sufficient pipe to 

 maintain a temperature of 55 degrees, 

 using steam? L. F. 



If only one side of the house is ex- 

 posed, it should be possible to maintain 

 the . temperature specified if one 2%- 

 inch fiow pipe and three 2-inch returns 

 are added to the present radiation. The 

 flow pipe could be run along the plate 

 on the side adjacent to the other 

 houses, and, if possible, the returns 

 should be under the benches. A pipe 

 boiler to heat the house described will 

 require forty-eight feet of 2-inch pipe. 



The house 22 x 110 feet should have 

 two more l^^-inch returns if it is to be 

 heated economically with low pressure 

 steam.

The supply in every line continues 

 large. There is a good general but not 

 an active demand. Nearly all good 

 stock is taken up by the buyers, but 

 the prices are fair, that is all. 



Every variety of rose is coming in 

 strong and roses are, as a whole, of 

 good quality. The American Beauty 

 cut, too, is large and the blooms are 

 uniformly of the best quality. The 

 feature of the chrysanthemum market 

 is the elegant Bonnaflfon that are being 

 offered. Most of the blooms are more 

 like show flowers than commercial ones. 



Is the Temperature 

 Maintained in Your 

 Plant During 

 Your Absence? 



It should be, but you don't know 

 that It is. Now, 'fess up! 



How valuable would a complete 

 record of the temperature of each 

 hour of the night and day be to you? 

 A great many dollars. Is the answer. 



Do you realize it?
