sixteen feet long.. The fire-box is four 

 feet long, three feet wide and three feet 

 high. A. T. V. 



Only one valve is required for each 

 coil, provided the pipes are connected 

 by headers at the lower end, and these 

 valves should be in the side of the 

 headers, about one-third of the way 

 down from the top. The amount of 

 radiation described is sufficient to main- 

 tain a temperature of 50 degrees. For 

 60 degrees add three or four more pipes. 



The boiler described would be about 

 eighty horse-power. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Trade has been excellent during the 

 last week and there is still a good sup- 

 ply of flowers to draw from. Mums are 

 still the whole show, though the supply 

 is shortening up a little. Carnations of 

 fine quality are now to be seen, and 

 they retail as yet at 50 cents per dozen. 

 Mums sell at $1.50 to $3 per dozen. The 

 latter price, however, is for something 

 special, the average prices being $2 

 and $2.50 per dozen. 



Roses bring $1.25 and $1.50 per 

 dozen, retail. Violets now sell at $1 

 per hundred blooms, and sweet peas 

 also at $1 per hundred. Some nice snap- 

 dragons are retailed at 75 cents per 

 dozen, both white and pink, these colors 

 selling the best. Candytuft and 

 alyssum help out a good deal in funeral 

 work. Small table ferns sell well; also 

 nicely grown Boston and Whitmani 

 ferns. 



Various Notes. 



During those days of the autumn 

 flower, the mum, some nice window 

 decorations are to be seen, a fine effect 

 being produced with these and autumn 

 leaves in their various beautiful shades. 



R. H. Woodhouse reports business as 

 fine. He is cutting lots of elegant car- 

 nations and some of his mums are a 

 treat to look at. Last week he shipped 

 two retail orders of fifty mums each to 

 Boston parties at a fancy price. He 

 will be "right there" with them for 

 Thanksgiving. Of short white mums 

 he is still cutting big quantities. 



Manuel B. Sylvia was a visitor last 

 week in Boston, attending the auction 

 .sale of nursery stock at N. F. McCar- 

 thy's. Nursery stock is in good de- 

 mand at Mr. Sylvia 's. 



A. B. Hathaway is still cutting some 

 nice sweet peas. He will force a lot of 

 bulbs this winter. W. L.
