OASDENEBS' ASSOCIATION. 



The National Association of Gar- 

 deners has selected the Murray Hill 

 hotel, Forty-first street and Park ave- 

 nue, New York city, as its headquarters 

 during the International Flower Show 

 week. 



The hotel is conveniently situated 

 with reference to the Grand Central 

 Palace, being only five sho'rt blocks 

 from the hall and the same distance 

 from Broadway, so that it is also easy 

 of access to the city's amusement 

 center. 



The management has set a rate of $2 

 per day for single person, and $3 for 

 two persons in a room, including priv- 

 ilege of bath. The men's dining hall 

 will be set aside as the rendezvous 

 for members to congregate morning, 

 noon and night. Breakfast, lunch and 

 dinner will be served in this hall, at 

 a reasonable price. The hotel manage- 

 ment promises to provide every facility 

 to make the hotel a hospitable hostelry 

 for the gardeners during their stav. 



Members can communicate direct 

 with the hotel for reservations of 

 rooms. Those who intend to attend 

 the International Show will do well to 

 reserve their rooms at an early date, 

 as a big crowd is looked for; as the 

 national association's headquarters will 

 be a popular place, those that apply 

 late may find that they cannot be 

 accommodated. M. C. Ebel, Sec'y 



Orchard Park, N. Y. — H. J. Warning 

 recently installed a No. 60 Qiblin 

 standard hot water boiler.

RETURN TRAPS 



help to maintain a 

 uniform tempera- 

 ture throughout the 

 houses by keeping 

 Steam coils free 

 and clear of con- 

 densation. 



By automatically returning the condensation directly to boilers at almost 

 evaporation temperature, "Detroit" Traps effect a great saving in coal.

Greenhouse Heating. 



SuBSCBiBEBs are invited to write the 

 editor of the Heating Department, de- 

 scribing their troubles or asking any 

 questions regarding the heating of green- 

 houses, the piping or boiler-room. But 

 please do not ask us to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. Each boiler adver- 

 tised in The Review is a good boiler, and 

 the advertisers sell them on their merits. 



IN INDIANA. 



I am planning on building a house 

 20x50 or perhaps 20x80, running east 

 and west and connecting a house on the 

 end running north and south, and would 

 appreciate information as to how to 

 bench and pipe with hot water. The 

 crops will be carnations, lettuce, gera- 

 niums, smilax, alyssum, lilies and such 

 things as I can grow in 50 to 52 degrees 

 in Indiana climate. B. A. A. 



The sketch that accompanied this in- 

 quiry showed one house 12^^x40 feet, 

 with another 20x50 feet across the end, 

 forming a T. The boiler is between the 

 houses and has a rating of 1,250 feet. 

 It has a 3-inch outlet and a 4-inch in- 

 take. 



To heat the narrow house run a 2^^- 

 inch flow pipe under the ridge and six 

 2-inch returns on the walls, using three 

 pipes for each coil. At least one pipe 

 on each wall should have a gate valve 

 located at some convenient point, as 

 four returns will heat the house in all 

 but the coldest weather. 



The other house has a door at each 

 end and one between the two houses, 

 which complicates matters to some ex- 

 tent. If the house is fifty feet long it 

 will require 300 square feet of radia- 

 tion to warm it to 52 degrees in zero 

 weather. Carry a 3-inch pipe from 

 the boiler up to a point a foot under 

 the ridge and run a 2^4 -inch flow

Grinned 



broadly. "Why, no," he 

 said, "I never tear out 

 leaky pipes or joints any 

 more — I just slap on an 

 Emergency Pipe Clamp 

 or a Climax Steam Joint 

 Clamp and forget 'em!" 



With that, he walked off whis- 

 tling — why shouldn't he? He 

 sent for our catalogue long 

 ago, and used it! 



There's a catalogue here be- 

 longing to you.

through the longer (east) end of the 

 house, and a 2-inch flow to the other 

 (west) end. At the east end drop a 

 21^-inch feed pipe to each of the side 

 plates and with each of them feed a coil
