tember 1 before anything like normal 

 full capacity is reached by the mining 

 interests of this country. Then will 

 come the car shortage. There always is 

 a winter shortage, and this year, with 

 every one hollering for coal, the short- 

 age is to be worse than usual. 



"The best interests of the coal trade 

 are not in high prices; we do not like 

 to see wide fluctuations. Too high 

 prices invariably mean a reaction and 

 are followed by low prices — but we can 

 see nothing in it except abnormally 

 high prices for coal this winter. 



"It is an old saying that delays are 

 dangerous. You can tell all the florists 

 that delays are more dangerous this sea- 

 son than they ever were before. They 

 ought to buy their coal and get it on 

 the place as speedily as possible." 



TWO MICHIGAN HOUSES. 



Will you please inform me how to 

 pipe my two connected houses for hot 

 water? The houses run east and west. 

 House No. 1 is 201^x92 feet, and eleven 

 feet to the ridge. It is to be used for 

 general stock, such as bedding plants, 

 mums and miscellaneous plants. House 

 No. 2, for carnations, is 14x84 feet and 

 has three feet of glass in the south 

 wall, which is seven feet to the gutter. 

 I have a Kroeschell No. 1 boiler, lo- 

 cated in the northwest corner of house 

 No. 1. The top of the boiler is three 

 feet down. 



I have an old house, niaety-two feet 

 long, which is piped as follows: One 

 3-inch flow along the purlin to the east 

 end, where it is divided into 2-inch re- 

 turns. Two of these returns are under 

 the north bench, three alongside the 

 second bench and three alongside the 

 third bench, with four 3-inch returns 

 under the south bench of a lean-to. This 

 has given good results. The three 2- 

 inch returns along the second bench 

 were not used all last winter. All re- 

 turns are controlled by valves, with one 

 air cock on the west end of the 3-inch 

 flow, which is also the highest point of 

 the system. I also have one 2-inch flow 

 and one 2-inch return running under the 

 north bench to the dwelling house, but 

 I will have to make it larger. 



The boiler, as I said, is located in the 

 northwest corner of house No. 1, where 

 there is also a potting shed. The boiler 

 Mas two 4-inch flow openings and two
