The Florists^ Review 



March 19. 1914. 



amount of radiation that can be heated 

 varies with the construction of the 

 boiler, but, as a rule, a grate area of 

 four square feet will handle 800 square 

 feet of radiation, and the boilers of 

 that size are usually rated at about 

 1.000 square feet of radiation. With 

 the boiler described, however, I would 

 not expect to handle more than 500 

 square feet of radiation. 



The addition of two more sections 

 will add materially to the capacity of 

 the boiler, provided five or six feet are 

 added to the height of the chimney. 

 I would consider that such a heater 

 should keep the houses at 45 and 55 

 degrees, respectively, with the radia- 

 tion as installed. Covering the pipes in 

 the cellar will also add to the capacity 

 of the boiler, as will taking pains to 

 clean the sections every week. In case 

 the changes suggested are made, it will 

 be possible still further to add to the 

 capacity of the boiler by attaching a 

 mercury generator, but this will be done 

 at a greater expense for fuel, as it will 

 be necessary to force the fire to ke^ 

 the water at the boiling point in the 

 heater. 



GLEN COVE, N. T. 



The- March meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 March 11 at Pembroke hall, with Presi- 

 dent H. Gaut in the chair. Herman 

 Gold, of Roslyn, was elected to active 

 membership. Petitions for membership 

 were received from Leon Mampoy, of 

 Boslyn, and Edward Rorke, of Locust 

 Valley. The judges for the monthly 

 exhibits were T. Elmslie, Geo. Ash- 

 worth and T. Twigg, and their awards 

 were as follows: Twelve spikes mixed 

 antirrhinums, F. Honeyman, first; fifty 

 single violets, F. Honeyman, first. Mr. 

 Bedstone, of Hitchings & Co., was a 

 visitor and addressed the meeting. 



At the April meeting Mr. Wilkinson, 

 of the New York state department of 

 agriculture, wilj deliver an address on 

 "Home Gardens," after which there 

 will be a smoker, or social evening. As 

 this is the first to be held, it is hoped 

 the members will help the committee 

 of arrangements in every way and 

 make it a point to attend, so as to make 

 the evening a success. The meeting is 

 called for 6 p. m., instead of 7 p. m., 

 as usual. The exhibits for the next 

 meeting are to be twelve narcissi, 

 twelve early flowering tulips and one 

 pot or pan of hyacinths. The meeting 

 will be held at Pembroke hall. Glen 

 Cove, Wednesday evening, April 8, at 

 6 p. m. Harry Jones, Cor. Sec'y.
