the draft will probably be greatly bene- 

 fited. Sometimes a metal extension of 

 fifteen or twenty feet can be used at 

 small cost and to good advantage when 

 the chimney itself would not permit the 

 extension to this height if brick were 

 used. 



RADIATING SURFACE OF PIPE. 



It is eviuent, from the nature of many 

 inquiries received by the Beview, that a 

 considerable number of florists have no 

 accurate way of estimating the extent of 

 radiating surface in a specified length or 

 quantity of piping. In other words, they 

 have no way of estimating what amount 

 of piping is necessary to supply the re- 

 quired radiation. When they are in- 

 formed that a certain size of greenhouse 

 requires a certain number of square feet 

 of radiation, they are stUl in doubt as to 

 how much piping they must install. 



The following table shows the amount 

 of radiating surface, expressed in frac- 

 tions of a square foot, in each lineal foot 

 of pipe of the sizes commonly used :

By means of this table, it is easy, of 

 course, to compute the radiating surface 

 in any stated quantity of piping. In 125 

 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe, for instance, 

 there are 125 times .622, or 77.75 (nearly 

 78) square feet of radiation.

The Market. 



Satisfactory reports continue to be re- 

 ceived from all sides concerning the Eas- 

 ter business, all of them being in like 

 tenor— "Best ever." As a ruli, in this 

 city, atter eac^one of the so-called "flo- 

 rai bohdays" business is stagnated and 

 nothing doing. Last week, however, 

 proved an exception, as there was an un- 

 usually good trade. Weddings, recep-

 BoUer for Greenhouse Heatlnc* 



Centralize 

 Your Heating Plant 



The economy in heating large ranges of 

 glass from a central plant is so great that the 

 first cost is repaid in a few years. 



Following are a lew plants wtaloh 

 we deelflrned and Installed : 



THOMAS YOUNO. Jr. 

 Bound Brook, N. J. 

 150,000 square feet Klass heated by steam 

 from a central plant. The exhaust from 

 pomps ia passed thronffta a condenser, which 

 beats two 160-foot propagatftaff hooMa with 

 hot water. 



F. R. PIERSON 00. 



Scarborongh on Hudson, N. T. 



150,000 square feet glass heated by steam 

 from a central plant. The steam is passed 

 throuah condensers and the water is forced 

 through the houses with circulators.

 was not these entirely that caused the

 especially good demand, while funeral 

 work has been brisk.
