The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Seftembee 1, 1910. 



Any suggestion will be gratefully re- 

 ceived. We are located in northern 

 Colorado. L. J. E. . 



The calculation for the boiler is cor- 

 rect and the stack will answer if forty 

 feet high. 



While 3,000 square feet of radiation 

 will carry 12,000 feet of glass at 50 de- 

 grees in zero weather, it will require 

 careful firing to do it at 20 to 23 de- 

 grees below zero. To heat a house such 

 as (described, it will be best to use three 

 2%-ineh flow pipes and twelve 2-inch 

 returns. A 6-inch main will be large 

 enough for the heater. The boiler de- 

 scribed should give good results with 

 hot water and there will be no objec- 

 tion to connecting the returns at the 

 ends, as proposed. 



I do not care to carry more than 

 200-foot radiation with 2-inch pipe in 

 greenhouses. 



SAULT STE. MARIE, MICH. 



This locality was recently visited by 

 a hail storm of unusual severity, and the 

 amount of broken glass might have 

 reached rather startling figures if it 

 were not for the fact that the total area 

 of greenhouse glass in this city is com- 

 paratively small. The fall of hail was 

 unequaled in the records of the city 

 weather bureau, which extend back 

 twenty-two years. A new record was 

 established in two respects, in the size 

 of the hailstones and in the duration of 

 the storm, which appeared to be con- 

 fined chiefly to the Soo. 



At the greenhouses of Philip Eawlin- 

 son about 400 square feet of glass were 

 broken. William E. F. Weber, of the 

 Soo Greenhouses, lost about seventy-five 

 square feet. Mr. Weber 's place was not 

 in the thickest of the storm, and he was 

 also so fortunate as to have his glass 

 insured, which was not the case with 

 any of his neighbors. 



Otto H. Weber, in the Canadian Soo — 

 Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. — lost about 100 

 square feet of glass at his new place, 

 where only one of his three houses had 

 as yet been glazed. The old houses had 

 been torn down some time before, thus 

 preventing what might have been a 

 much heavier loss. The damage to stock 

 was not as serious as might have been 

 expected. 



Fort Wajrne, Ind. — Christian Young, 

 who has had an experience of forty 

 jears as a market gardener, says he has 

 never before passed through so dry a 

 season as the present one, and the 

 drought has been especially disastrous 

 for people in his line of business.
