turns. To maintain a temperature for 

 carnations, when the temperature drops 

 several degrees below zero, there should 

 be two 2i^'-inch flow pipes and eight 2- 

 inch returns. If it is desired to use the 

 1%-inch return pipes, they can be used 

 for three l^^-inch returns, and, with 

 two S%-inch flows and five 2-inch re- 

 turns, will give the desired radiating 

 surface. For the lean-to use one 2-inch 

 flow and three l^^-inch returns. 



The total amount of radiation for the 

 proposed house, including the lean-to, is 

 less than 825 square feet, and a boiler 

 rated for 1,000 square feet should there- 

 fore furnish a fair margin. 



OIL STOVE FOB BOTTOM HEAT. 



I need some bottom heat only for 

 kentia seeds, so that I require only a 

 small fire apparatus. I wish to know 

 whether it would do to put a Perfection 

 smokeless oil stove beneath the bench. 

 Although these stoves are widely adver- 

 tised as smokeless they spread some- 

 what the odor of oil and I should like to 

 know whether this odor would be in- 

 jurious to the seeds. If you know of 

 any other small heating device, I should 

 like to be informed about it. A. J. V. 



The Perfection oil heater does excel- 

 lent work, and would probably do no 

 harm if the wick can be cleaned every 

 day, if the behavior of the heater is 

 carefully watched and if it is cleaned 

 once a day. Nearly all of the com 

 panies manufacturing greenhouse boil- 

 ers make small sizes, but as no state- 

 ment is made of the size of the house, 

 no details can be given. 



THE COAL MABKET. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co., Philadel- 

 phia, make the following statement 

 with regard to the present status of the 

 coal market: 



"The summer schedule of prices on 

 anthracite coal went into effect April 

 1 and is the same as was in effect last 

 year, with the exception of the chestnut 

 coal price, which has been advanced 25 

 cents per ton. The customary advance 

 of 10 cents per ton will be made on all 

 domestic sizes monthly, beginning with 

 May. 



"The prices for steam sizes, buck- 

 wheat, rice and barley, are strong, 

 owing to the fact that the demand for 

 the domestic sizes has not been strong, 

 and there has been a restriction of out- 

 put. In addition to that, however, each 

 year sees an advance in the price of 

 steam sizes of anthracite coal, as the 

 supply is not sufficient for the demand. 

 Prices in all sizes of steam coals will be 

 at an advance over last year. There 

 will probably be some of the lower
