If the boiler has a rating for 800 

 square feet of radiation, it will answer 

 for 50 degrees, but it will be desirable 

 to use one with a rating of 1,000 square 

 feet if a temperature of 60 degrees is 

 desired. The actual amount of radiation 

 required in each case, however, is about 

 200 square feet less than is here recom- 

 mended for the boiler. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Easter week was an unusual one in 

 many respects. Wednesday and Thursday 

 the thermometer registered 83 degrees, 

 and what it did to violets was plenty; 

 after that it cooled down a few degrees 

 and we had the most delightful Easter 

 weather on record. 



Stock of almost all kinds was plenti- 

 ful, especially Saturday, and everyone 

 got ail that was wanted at reasonable 

 prices, and stock was fine. Lilies, which 

 were expected to be short, came in just 

 about enough to take care of demand 

 and the quality was good. Beauties were 

 not plentiful, but they were not missed, 

 as the fine Killarney, almost as large as 

 Beauties, filled the bill, and most of the 

 trade say they do not care particularly 

 about the Beauties, as they can make 

 mor* money selling other roses. 

 . The plant trade exceeded all expecta- 

 tions, as there was more fine stock than 

 was ever seen here before, and it was all 

 sold. Little, if anything, that was good 

 was to be seen Monday morning and 

 the report from all sources was, "The 

 best Easter ever. ' ' 



The wholesale houses all make the 

 same kind of a report, "An awful grind, 

 but the business was all right." 



The violets which arrived in this mar- 

 ket Thursday and Friday showed the ef- 

 fects of the hot weather and the fact that 

 they verc left too long on the plants, 

 as most of them were falling off wneu 

 they arrived. 



Before every holiday, we hear the re- 

 tailers make the old cry that they are 

 going to sell plants and will not pay 

 any advance for cut flowers. However, 

 each year they buy more than the year 

 previous; there are cut flower customers 

 who will not take the plant bluff, and, 

 besides, a small bov can deliver $100

What W. J. Palmer & Son, Lancaster and

"DETROIT" AUTOMATIC RETURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been using two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity System 

 and find they keep the pipe clear of conden- 

 sation, therefore malcing the return do as 

 much as the flow. We are able to heat with 

 less number of pipe than formerly and keep 

 the houses far more even in temperature." 



"Detroit" Traps will do the same for you.
