piece of 4-inch pipe about fourteen feet 

 long, which runs along the side wall 

 and is then connected with four 2-inch 

 pipes running back on the side walls 

 and ending in a small piece of 4-inch 

 pipe, which serves as the return to the 

 boiler. With this piping I have not 

 been able to maintain a temperature of 

 over 50 degrees in the house in freezing 

 weather. I am located in the western 

 part of New York state. Can you help 

 me out of my trouble? H. K. 



The four 2-inch pipes should be suffi- 

 cient to maintain a temperature of 50 

 degrees in freezing weather, 'but for 

 use in zero weather, which is common in 

 northern states, six pipes will be needed. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The retail business last week was 

 quite satisfactory, and according to the 

 •way some of our leading florists in 

 the west end were buying at the whole- 

 sale houses they must have been busy. 

 Society was alive with weddings, din- 

 ners, parties, receptions and balls, and 

 these events, of course, greatly help 

 the florists. 



Stock in all lines has not been any 

 too plentiful and all of our wholesalers 

 sold up pretty clean all of last week. 

 Monday we were having our first real 

 snow of the season and if the dark 

 weather continues it will keep stock 

 scarce this week. Everything in all 

 grades is selling well, especially car- 

 nations. These are short in supply. 

 There are a good many roses coming 

 in, but they clean up well. Chrys- 

 anthemum blooms are still arriving. 



In bulbous stock, Eomans, Paper 

 Whites, valley and lilies have big de- 

 mand, but not any too many are 

 offered. Values are almost up to 

 Christmas., prices. 



Bouquet green is to be had at from 

 $10 to $15 per hundred pounds. The 

 local florists who ordered in advance 

 at $5 per hundred pounds were in their 

 glory for a while until they were noti- 

 fied last week that their orders could 

 not be half filled, and there is a big 

 howl among them. Holly is going to 

 be cheap this year. At present it is 

 being ottered here by our commission 

 men at $4 per case. The advance 

 shipments show the holly in good 

 shape and well berried. 



Various Notes. 



J. J. Burke has sold his store at 

 Grand and Finney avenues to Miss 

 May Burns, who of late was in the 

 employ of Miss M. S. Newman. The 

 new firm will be known as the Burns 

 Floral Co. Mr. Burke's future plans 

 were not learned. 



Henry Emunds, proprietor of the 

 West Park Floral Co., at Belleville, 

 says that he had an exceptionally good 

 season with chrysanthemums, and will 

 have 1,000 blooms between now and 

 Christmas of the new white, Miss 

 Nonin, with blooms almost as large as 

 Timothy Eaton. 



Alex Siegel says his two stores are 

 doing well. The one recently opened 

 in the big department store at Eighth 

 street and Washington avenue is in 

 charge of Charles Connon. 



Grimm & Gorly's Washington avenue 

 store had a big run of funeral work 

 all last week.
