room; that is, six feet between the re- 

 turn and water line. Give the boiler 

 about a half-inch pitch toward the back, 

 Eun the main up to the roof of the boiler- 

 house. Put in a concrete or brick trench 

 across the space between the houses and 

 boiler-room. Eun the main in this and 

 branch off with a tee for each house. 

 Put the main on the grade of the house. 

 Eun the main across the end of the house, 

 with tees where the pipes come. Put a 

 1%-inch pipe under the edge of each 

 bench on either side and run four 1^4- 

 inch pipes on the outside walls. Put two 

 pipes, one on each side of the gutter 

 posts, to be used to melt the snow. Anchor 

 the main end by driving into the ground 

 pieces of pipe next to the large main. 

 Eun the pipes into a common return 

 across the low end of the house. Put the 

 main return pipe on the same pitch 

 toward the boiler as the house pitches 

 away from it. Put the same in a tile 

 pipe to keep out water and earth. This 

 brings the main and return about sixteen 

 or seventeen inches apart in the boiler- 

 room. Put on a tee where the return 

 turns down to the boiler and have a 

 siphon cock out of the top, with the valve 

 down, so a man can reach it. This will 

 let the air out of the system. Always 

 open the valve when starting the boiler. 

 By doing so you will have steam around 

 in about five or ten minutes. 



Do not use a bend to take the expan- 

 sion, but offset the opening in the re- 

 turn pipe about six feet. That is, turn 

 the corner of a bench and connect with 

 the return six feet from the crossing 

 points of the 1%-inQh pipe and the re- 

 turn. The spring of the six feet of pipe 

 will take the expansion. G. T. E. 



WiCKFORD, E. I. — Peter S. Byrnes' new 

 greenhouses, near his residence on West 

 Main street, have been completed. 



Gboton, Mass. — At this place is lo- 

 cated what is said to be the only insti- 

 tution in the United States intended 

 solely for the instruction of girls in 

 practical gardening. It was founded by 

 Mrs. E. G. Low, at Lowthorpe, her coun- 

 try home, and is named the Lowthorpe 

 School of Landscape Gardening and 

 Horticulture. A diploma is conferred 

 at the end of a two years' course. 



EocKFORD, III. — C. H. Woolsey, East 

 State and Longwood streets, has just 

 doubled his facilities, by an agreement 

 with Ed Dempsey, whereby he takes 

 over the greenhouses on Corbin street, 

 formerly occupied by Ingalls. The Cor- 

 bin street greenhouses were burned last 

 winter, but will be put into first-class 

 shape at once. M. H. Smith, formerly 

 with Morton, at the Wissner greenhouses, 

 will be placed in charge.
