amount of radiation will be required, 

 and for a house 20x40 feet, without 

 glass in the side walls, from 200 to 300 

 square feet of radiation will suffice, 

 according to the temperature desired. 

 By putting in two 2-inch flow pipes and 

 six 2-inch returns, it will be possible 

 to obtain a temperature of '60 degrees, 

 and by adding one or two more returns 

 higher temperatures can be obtained if 

 desired. 



To heat the house 20x40 feet, a 

 heater rated for 250 to 300 square feet 

 of radiation will suffice, but if other 

 houses will be added soon the boiler 

 should be of sufficient capacity to take 

 care of the increased area. 



While flues could be used, they would 

 not be as satisfactory as hot water. 

 Natural gas makes an excellent fuel for 

 hot water heating, but could not be 

 used with hot air flues. Even with hot 

 water, the boiler room should be cut 

 off tiom the greenhouse proper. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



There is a sufficiency of stock to 

 meet all demands; in fact, the last few 

 days the stock tended to accumulate. 

 The receipts in general brought only 

 fair prices; carnations and valley alone 

 held a steady price. The volume of 

 business was, nevertheless, large and 

 the gross receipts satisfying. 



In roses, Beauties are meeting with a 

 fair request. The two Killarneys and 

 Kaiserin find ready purchasers. Bride 

 and Maid, especially the latter, are a 

 second choice. 



A large supply of carnations of good 

 quality has been on hand. They sold, 

 but were not eagerly picked up by the 

 buyers. White carnations are an ex- 

 ception. Compared to the numbers of 

 the other colors offered they were rela- 

 tively scarce and met a good request. 



Peonies from many local growers are 

 offered in every wholesale house. Their 

 quality is good. Plenty of lilies, double 

 T^hite narcissi, jasmine and sweet peas 

 s|re offered. Valley and eattleyas meet 

 vith a ready sale. The quality of the 

 ilew southern ferns is exceptional and 

 ijiany are shipped. The supply of other 

 greens is easily sufficient. 

 , All indications point to a good busi- 

 ness on Memorial day. Many large or- 

 ders from local and out-of-town buyers 

 have been booked. The wholesalers ex- 

 pect plenty of stock of all kinds to 

 meet the demand. 



Various Notes; 



C. . E. Critchell is receiving large 

 duantities of double white narcissi. 

 These flowers are splendid keepers. He 

 is also offering valley from George & 

 Allan 's, and eattleyas, which he expects 

 throughout June. Mr, Critchell says 

 he expects to have plenty of stock to fill 

 his orders for Memorial day. 



William Murphy is receiving ship- 

 ments of splendid giganteum lilies from 

 A. S. Burns, of Spring Valley, N. Y. 

 The good condition of the blooms upon 

 arrival commends especially the con- 

 signor's careful packing. Mr. Murphy 

 also is handling exceptionally large lots 

 of good carnations and sweet peas. 



Peter Weiland, quite well again, is 

 back at the greenhouses after his so- 

 journ at Hot Springs. Weiland & 

 dinger are cutting excellent Kaiserin 

 and White Killarney.

What W. J. Palmer & Son, Lancaster and

"DETROIT" AUTOMATIC RETURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been using two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity System 

 and find they Iteep the pipe clear of conden- 

 sation, therefore making the return do as 

 much as the flow. We are able to heat with 

 less number of pipe than formerly and keep 

 the houses far more even in temperature." 



"Detroit" Traps will do the same for you.

The Standard 

 Steam Trap 



Is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist, because it is durable and does 

 its work without trouble and annoy- 

 ance, saving its cost by the economy 

 in coal bills.
