flow? Would only open tanks be used 

 in this way? K. G. 



The plan of connecting the expansion 

 tank with the flows, rather than with a 

 return pipe, has no disadvantage and 

 there are several points in its favor. 

 Arranged in this way, it does away 

 with the use of air valves and the 

 bother of looking after them. It also 

 permits the air and steam to pass out 

 readily and there is less danger of the 

 water being thrown out through the 

 expansion tank than when the latter 

 is connected to a return, in case the 

 water gets to boiling. The connection 

 can be made to the flows with both open 

 and closed tanks. If properly con- 

 nected, the water in the tank would 

 circulate sufficiently to keep it slightly 

 warm at least, but even if cold w^ter 

 mingled with warm water the only 

 effect would be to equalize the tem- 

 perature. 



BRAMPTON, ONT. 



The Market. 



Brampton greenhouses have been 

 taxed to their utmost during the last 

 few weeks to produce anything like 

 the quantity of stock which the ever 

 increasing florists' business calls for. 

 In fact, there never was such a demand 

 for flowers as there is at present, and 

 the best quality of stock finds a ready 

 market everywhere. 



Various Notes. 



Walter Calvert has two new houses 

 devoted to violets, which in this sec- 

 tion are hardly as prolific this year as 

 last, notwithstanding the fine weather 

 conditions. 



Mark Henderson found chrysanthe- 

 mums again a profitable venture, and 

 for the rest of the winter he will de- 

 vote his space to successive crops of 

 lettuce, for the local market. 



Both R. Jennings and William Fend- 

 ley are cultivating carnations and vio- 

 lets extensively, and find it difficult to 

 grow a sufficiency of the latter for 

 their customers, even at $1.50 per hun- 

 dred, wholesale. 



Social events of late have created a 

 demand, especially for orchids and 

 American Beauties, such as has never 

 before been known at the Dale Estate,
