from the size of the grate and fire-pot, 

 it should heat both hoiises easily. 



For the larger house it is suggested 

 that a 2-inch flow be run a foot or 

 iwo under the ridge to the farther end 

 of the house, and that five 1^-inch re- 

 turns be placed on the walls, or a part 

 of them may be under the benches if 

 preferred. In the house 16x24 feet use 

 a 1%-inch overhead flow and six 1%- 

 inch returns. The return coils can 

 start at the opposite end of the houses 

 from the boiler and follow around on 

 the walls, at a slight fall, say one inch 

 in fifteen teet. There should be an 

 air valve near the lower end of each 

 coil and shut-off valves should be placed 

 at both ends. 



HEAT FOK VIOLET FRAME. 



Will a return tubular steel boiler, 2x6 

 feet, heat more than my present house, 

 which is 22x94 and twelve feet to the 

 ridge? The house is three-quarter span, 

 with 8-foot rafters on one side and 16- 

 foot rafters on the other side. There 

 are two feet of glass in the lower wall 

 and a .5-foot board wall on the other 

 side. Would the boiler heat a cold- 

 frame, 6x90 feet, on the east side of 

 the greenhouse? The frame is to be 

 used for violets. The greenhouse wall 

 would form one side of the frame. 

 There are fourteen lengths of 2-inch 

 pipe in the house; four of the pipes 

 are used as flows and ten of them as 

 returns. I grow carnations, lilies and 

 potted plants. I am situated on a hill, 

 with a bold western exposure, in the 

 eastern part of New York state. 



A. O. C. 



The data regarding the boiler .is not 

 sufficiently complete to give an accurtite 

 idea of its capacity, but the present 

 house is probably all that it can be 

 relied on to heat. The house contains 

 about 850 square jEeet of radiation, 

 which is about all that a boiler with a 

 grate two feet in diameter can carry 

 economically. However, it is possible 

 that the capacity of the boiler may be 

 rather more than is required in the 

 house described, and if the coldframe is 

 to be warmed from the present boi^er| 

 two of the pipes should be taken out 

 of the carnation house and used for 

 heating the violet frame.

The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Zanesville Florists' Club was held Oc- 

 tober 19 at the home of F. E. Hum- 

 phrey, on Nortir Seventh street. The 

 principal business attended to was the 

 election of officers. All the old officers 

 were reelected except the secretary,
