There should be no difficulty in se- 

 curing a temperature of 60 degrees bv 

 using one 2-inch flow and eight l^^-inch 

 returns. The boiler should have a rat- 

 ing of about 600 square feet of radia- 

 tion and should be two feet below the 

 returns. Place a coil of four pipes at 

 each side of the north door.

Progress in Greenhouse Building. 



In the record of what has been ac- 

 complished in the building trades in 

 this city during the year, the improve- 

 ments and extensions of greenhouses 

 occupy an important place. It has been 

 roughly estimated that $35,000 to $40,- 

 000 will have been expended by local 

 florists in that way before the end of 

 the season. 



P^ed L. Lainson, 1309 Canning street, 

 is spending about $12,000 on his plant. 

 He has added to his area under glass 

 from 35,000 to 4O,00O square feet, giv- 

 ing him a total of about 100,000 square 

 feet. He has also remodeled his heat- 

 ing plant and added a new boiler. \ 



Henry Meyer, 321 Benton street, has 

 torn down his greenhouses, rebuilt 

 them, enlarged them, and modernized 

 the entire plant. The improvements 

 will cost^ several thousand dollars. 



L. H. JSeams, 500 North Twenty-sixth 

 street, has enlarged and improved his 

 "plant at a cost of several thousand dol- 

 lars. 



Thomas Capel, 1270 East Pierce 

 street, has built a new boiler room and
