The Weekly Florists' Review* 



•^ 



August 4, l9io. 



erly placed, but the heater men in this 

 oity do not understand greenhouse pip- 

 ing. Therefore I should much appre- 

 ciate your kindness if you would in- 

 foml me just how this house should be 

 piped. I am located in New York 

 state. C. H. H. 



'•If they run around the four sides of 

 the house, the ten 1^4 -inch pipes will 

 supply an abundance of radiating sur- 

 faice, but the pipes should have been of 

 a larger size 4or so long a run. The 

 great trouble, however, is in the use of 

 too small a connection between the i 

 boiler and the coils. There should have ' 

 lieen three connections at least, and 

 four would have been better. Even ; 

 by using the full number of connections, 

 it, is doubtful whether a satisfactory 

 •irculation can be secured, unless a 

 •Ibsed system is used, with the present 

 arrangement of the coils. 



i The best way of arranging the heat- 

 iijig system would be to use three 2i/^- 

 iilch flow pipes, running one on each 

 wall and one near the center of the 

 liouse to the west end, and connecting 

 •ach flow with five 2-inch return pipes. 



BUFFAI.O. 



The Market. 



An unusual amount of funeral work 

 lor this season helped nearly every- 

 body last week. Social functions are 

 few and there is little call for flowers 

 aside from this. Sweet peas are sold 

 in large quantities, owing to the low 

 price. Asters are on the market, but as 

 yet are quite short-stemmed. Gladioli 

 are not so plentiful and the market 

 keeps cleaned up. 



Florists' Picnic. 



On Wednesday, July 27, the banner 

 picnic of the Buffalo Florists' Club was 

 held at Fort Erie Beach. The attend- 

 ance was the largest on record, 108 

 people sitting at the tables, and, in ad- 

 dition, some left after the games were 

 run. The weather became threatening 

 toward the end, but the boys kept right 

 •n and not a person left until the ball 

 game was stopped by a shower. The 

 games were run off quickly and the un- 

 necessary delay, which usually occurs, 

 was avoided. Hot competition followed 

 in nearly all the events, which ended 

 as follows: 



Ladle*' race — First, Miss Jensen; second, Mrs. 

 Smitb; third. Miss Berner. 



Cfalldren's race, under 12 years— First, Vertle 

 gUttery; second, Beulah Slattery; third, Harr> 

 Longley; fourth, Lydla Forbach. 



Men's race — First, S. A. Anderson; second, L. 

 Hock; third, E. Slattery. 



Three-legged race— First, Grerer- Walters; sec- 

 end, the Klnkle brothers. 



Boys' race — First, Jimmy Zimmerman; second, 

 J. Sautner; third, T. Tobln; fourth, Elmer 

 Neber. . 



Toung men's race — First, K. Klnkle; second, 

 Boeder Klnkle; third, T. Tobln; fourth, K. 

 Klockow. „, , , 



Quarter-mlle walk— First, Revere Klnkle; sec- 

 md, Arthur Hey; third, Bussell Mark; fourth, 

 E. StunU. „ ^ „ J 



Potato race— First, E. Walter; second, Roeder 

 Klnkle; third. Revere Klnkle; fourth, E. Stuntz. 



Running hop, step and jump — First, David 

 Scott, 36 ft. 2 In.; second, R. E. Klnkle, 35 ft. 

 6 In.; third. Grever, 84 ft. 9 In. 



The last two events on the program 

 were the ball game and the tug of war. 

 In each event the store men were pit- 

 ted against the growers and everybody 

 expected an easy victory for the grow- 

 ers in the latter event, but, unfor- 

 tunately, Joe Streit had his dancing 

 pumps on and the growers were much 

 handicapped. The store men won the 



What i^ the Most Vital Point 

 in Grate Construction? 



. Grate makers and nsers agree 

 that the most important point 

 is to keep the air spaces open 

 as long as possible under all 

 conditions. , j. 



We guaranteljiM'heep the 

 air spaces of the 



Martin Anfl-rrictioo 

 Rocking Grate 



open longer under any condU 

 tions than can be done by anj 

 other grate in existence. 

 The hottest fire you can build will not warp a " Martin," and it can be 

 installed without disturbing the brick worjk.

Mr. Florist, if you were shown: 



That by the installation of a good tilting steam trap 

 you would effect a saving in fuel sufficient to pay for 

 the trap in from three to six months. 



That you would increase the eflSciency of your 

 steam lines by draining them of all condensation. 



That this pure hot condensation could be returned 

 to the boilers .as feed water by means of this trap 

 without the assistance of pump or injector. 



Would it not be a matter of considerable import to you ? 



The MOREHEAD Tilting Return Steam Trap will do this and more.
