 and it will bring all heat where it is most 

 needed. 



The expansion or supply tank should be 

 at the high point in the system and from 

 two to five feet above the highest pipe.

The Market 



Business is opening up rather slowly 

 this week, but still the week is young 

 and there is plenty of time for improve- 

 ment. Last week business was fair. The 

 demand continued good at all times, and 

 stock of all kinds moved off at good 

 prices. This was a decided contrast to 

 the week before, when there was a big 

 glut and stock had to be moved at any 

 price. 



"While prices are low, still it is gratify- 

 ing to see the stock all sold up at night. 

 Beauties are coming fast and they are 

 selling at the lowest price so far this sea- 

 son. It is so much per hundred now, in- 

 stead of so much per dozen. Brides and 

 Maids are also plentiful and the quality 

 in most cases is poor, which has a little 

 to do with the price. Carnations are 

 equal to the demand. There is quite an 

 assortment of flowers on the market now, 

 besides the usual roses and carnations, 

 and they take well. The pulDlic likea a 

 change now and then. 



We are having some decidedly bad 

 weather. It is cloudy and raining most 

 of the time and it is also pretty cold. 

 These conditions, if they continue for 

 any length of time, will be sure to cut 

 down the supply of flowers and will also 

 work an improvement in the prices. 



Various Notes. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Society was held in the club 

 room Saturday, May 8, and was well at- 

 tended. Many matters of importance

 the nine-tenths?
