 which sold at 75 cents to $1 per dozen. 



Louisville, Ky. — William Walker re- 

 ports as follows: "I believe that every- 

 one in the trade had a good business on 

 Easter. As for ourselves, it was a rec- 

 ord breaker. The weather was great, 

 our stock of plants and cut flowers was 

 in satisfactory shape and we were kept 

 busy 'delivering the goods.' The out- 

 look for the future is good. The de- 

 mand is here, and it is up to us to sup- 

 ply it with the kind of stock that will 

 satisfy the people and encourage them 

 to the point where they will feel that 

 flowers are a necessity. ' '

PIPING IN NEV JERSEY. 



Please inform me as to the best way of 

 piping my greenhouse, which is 16x100 

 feet, with three feet of concrete and two 

 feet of glass in each side wall. The west 

 gable is also glass, down to within three 

 feet of the ground. The east end adjoins 

 the potting shed and boiler room. 



What size of main should I use across 

 the end, if I use one 2i^-inch flow on 

 each side of the house, to the far endt 

 How many 2-inch returns would I need, 

 to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees 

 in zero weather, with hot water? If 1 

 should want a temperature of 60 de- 

 grees, would it be necessary to put in 

 more flows or could I make up the radia- 

 tion by putting in more 2-inch returns! 

 If I put one large valve in the main, 

 from the boiler, could I let down the 

 temperature in warm weather by shut- 

 ting the valve, without injuring the 

 boiler? 



How many square feet of radiation 

 should the boiler have, to maintain a 

 temperature of 50 degrees, with a good 

 surplus for safety? Also, how much 

 radiation would be needed for 60 de- 

 grees? G. S. 



To answer for a house 16x100 feet, the 

 main flow pipe should be 3-inch, and 

 within the house it will be well to have 

 two 2^ -inch flow pipes, one upon each 

 wall. To maintain a temperature of 50 

 degrees, there should be seven 2-inch re- 

 turn pipes. In case it is desired to ob- 

 tain a temperature of 60 degrees in zero 

 weather, there will be no occasion for 

 making any change in the flow pipes, but 

 three additional 2-inch returns will be re- 

 quired. 



If there is to be but one house it will 

 be safer to rely upon regulating the fire
