i\ill give you eight or ten pounds of pres- 

 sure ; thirty-three feet will give fifteen 

 pounds. 1 would not advise the use of 

 l'/4-inch pipe for hot water on 100-foot 

 runs ; 2-inch will be all right. The next 

 larger size of boiler would be better. A 

 ;;0x42 is rated to carry 600 to 700 feet. 

 You have a little over 600 feet, which is 

 :i full load for the boiler. It is cheaper 

 to run a larger boiler than to drive one 

 iit almost its full capacity all the time.

The Market 



The warm weather was broken sud- 

 denly by cold rains and at last a heavy 

 snowfali. As a result, stock is scarce. 

 Mums are becoming much more plentiful 

 ;tnd are considerably lower in price. 

 Carnations improve slowly and at the 

 present time are scarce. Roses are good, 

 especially Beauties, which always sell well 

 'it this time of the year. Dahlias are all 

 frozen; Ave saw the last October 16. 

 'osinos sells well in bunches of twenty- 

 five. 



Various Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 •lub was held October 12 and, while not 

 largely attended, there was plenty of in- 

 'orest. The regular business of the club 

 was attended to in quick fashion, and 

 then everybody listened to the paper by 

 \^'. A. Adams, on cheap sales. Consider- 

 ■ible comment was passed after the read- 

 ing, which was a help to everybody pres- 

 '■ut. Another matter of much importance 

 \vas also brought up, and that was the 

 flo-vver show proposed for the coming fall. 

 fresiJent Slattery was given a few days 

 in which to select the committee whom he 

 wished to act. The show was such a de- 

 cided success last year that everybody is 

 imxious for another. 



G. F. Guenther, of Hamburg, has added 

 to his range again, putting up two new 

 houses. The stock is all in tiptop shape
