boiler, carry a 3-inch pipe from the 

 boiler, and from some convenient point 

 2l^-inch flow pipes should lead to the 

 wider houses and a li^.-inch pipe to the 

 12-foot cool house. For the return 

 pipes from each house, l^A-inch will be 

 amply large, and these should be con- 

 nected to a 2-inch main return which 

 should lead to the boiler. 



Of course the flow pipes, as well as 

 the returns, should be given a slight 

 drop. Gate valves should be placed up- 

 on the flows and returns just within 

 each house, and at least one-half of the 

 returns in the coils should have valves 

 at both ends. There should also be an 

 automatic air-valve at the lower end 

 of each coil. 



A forty horse-power boiler will be 

 amply large for the houses described. 



NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. 



The New Bedford Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its rose show at Odd Fellows 

 hall June 23 and scored a fine success. 

 Occupying the center of the hall was 

 an oval of ferns, palms and shrubs. 

 Ranged around it were six green tubs, 

 holding wonderful rambler roses, ex- 

 hibited by M. H. Walsh, of Woods 

 Hole. Besides running his own garden 

 of roses, Mr. Walsh superintends the 

 wonderful gardens of Miss Sarah B. 

 Fay, whose collection is the largest 

 private collection of roses in the coun- 

 try, and who also was a large exhibitor, 

 as was H. H. Rogers estate. There was 

 a large showing of bottles of cut roses. 

 The show was free to the public, and 

 was largely attended, both afternoon 

 and evening. In the evening the cut 

 flowers were sold at auction. 



Harrisburg, Pa. — The Holmes Seed 

 Co. recently had a window decoration 

 which was said to be unusually attract- 

 ive in its scenic effect. It represented a 

 well kept lawn and was intended as an 

 advertisement of lawn mowers and 

 other lawn requisites. 



Lincoln, 111.— Otto Heimbreiker, 

 formerly of the firm of Schmalzl & 

 Heimbreiker, has started business on 

 his own account and proposes to make 

 a specialty of raising young chickens 

 during the winter months, as well as 

 growing vegetables. He now has four 

 greenhouses and eight chicken houses 

 ready for business. 



Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill? 



== INSTALL 



A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. 



Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utic«, N. Y., voluntarily writes:— 



" I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from you 

 last fall is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare 

 my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of 

 this year's coal over last year's; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than 

 the winter before. 



■■ There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform 

 heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I find that my 

 Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so 

 uniform at all times. 



" My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my 

 attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine." 



Are not facts like these worth an 

 Investigation ?

''DfTROir' AUTOMATIC RETURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been usinjr two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity System 

 and find they keep the pipe clear of conden- 

 sation, therefore maldng 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.
