BOILER IN KBSIDENCE CELIiAB. 



I expect to build a small greenhouse, 

 10x25, at the east side of my resi- 

 denfte, connecting the heating pipes of 

 the greenhouse with a hot water heater 

 in the basement of the residence. What 

 size of pipes shall I use for the flow 

 and return, and how many and what 

 size of pipes shall I use for two benches 

 four feet wide, running the full length 

 of the house? The winter temperature 

 outside, in this part of Iowa, averages 

 about 10 degrees above zero. The tem- 

 perature wanted inside will be about 

 55 to 60 degrees. C. B. 



The data furnished are hardly suffi- 

 cient to warrant a really definite reply, 

 as the amount of radiation will depend 

 upon the number of square feet of 

 glass and exposed wall surface. If the 

 house does not contain more than 300 

 square feet of glass and the walls are 

 not more than four feet high, a tem- 

 perature of 60 degrees can be secured 

 in zero weather by using one 2-inch 

 flow pipe and three 1%-inch returns 

 under each of the benches. Unless the 

 top of the heater is below the level of 

 the floor of the greenhouse, it will be 

 well to run the flow pipes upon the 

 wall plates.

The Market. 



With almost a sunless January, stock 

 still is scarce and not of standard qual- 

 ity. Eoses are short and those that 

 come in are soft. The supply of carna- 

 tions also is light. Violets and sweet 

 peas are in better supply. Green goods 

 are not abundant. 



Various Notes. 



At the Whiting greenhouses carna- 

 tions are off crop at present, but they 

 have been doing well this season. A 

 good crop of double violets is being 

 picked. The young rose stock in the 

 grafting frames is looking fine. 



At John Coombs ' place they are busy 

 preparing for the Easter rush. A large 

 quantity of bulb stock is being brought 

 on. 



Louis Barton, of Elmwood, was for- 

 tunate in having a good cut of roses 

 all through January. He is running a 

 dairy on the side, as he was unable to 

 secure fertilizer for his roses. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., is cutting a good 

 crop of gardenias of high quality. The 

 grafting department is running in full 

 force; young rose stock is already being 

 shipped. William Buggie, who has had 

 charge of the carnation department for 

 a number of years, has been appointed 

 postmaster of Cromwell. The best 

 wishes of the craft go with him to his 

 new position. R. C. S.

Cleans a building of Rats and Mice in short 

 time, keeps it cleaned, for it is always ready for 

 use. Made of galvanized iron, can't get out of 

 order, lasts for years. Large number can be 

 caught daily. Go to Catcher mornings, remove 

 device inside, which only takes a few seconds, 

 take out dead rats and mice, replace device— it 

 is ready for another catch. Small piece cheese 

 is used, doing away with poisons. Catcher is 

 18 inches high, 10 inches in diameter. When rats 

 pass device they die, no marks left on them. 

 Catcher is always clean. One of these Catchers 

 set in a livery stable in Scranton, Pa., caught 

 over 100 rats in a month. One sent prepaid to 

 any place in United States upon receipt of $3.00. 

 Catcher, 8 inches high, for mice only, pre- 

 paid fl.OO. On account of shipping charges be- 

 ing prepaid, remittance is requested with order,
