The Weekly Florists' Review: 



Apbil 27, 1911. 



a temperature of 50 degrees will require 

 about 900 feet of radiating surface. To 

 supply this, three 2%-inch mains can 

 be used. One of these can be carried 

 on each of the purlin posts. The cen- 

 ter flow can be used to feed two coils 

 of Xhree pipes each, running from either 

 side of the door at the end of the house 

 farthest from the heater, around to the 

 dooy at the other end of the house. The 

 other flows can feed two other coils of 

 three pipes each, which will extend 

 along the side walls only. 



Thj\t there may be no misunderstand- 

 ing, it may be well to explain that, 

 when completed, there will be three 

 flow-pipes running the length of the 

 house and six 2-inch returns upon each 

 of the side walls, with three of the 

 pipes upon each wall extending around 

 to the doors at the ends of the houses. 

 Arranged in this way, it will be possi- 

 ble to shut off the flow through the 

 pipes on the outer rows of posts, thus 

 reducing the amount of radiation one- 

 half. 



While it would not be quite as effi- 

 cient, in case it is preferred to use 2- 

 inch pipes as flows, it can be arranged 

 by placing two flow pipes on the center 

 row of posts and using one of these to 

 feed each of the coils which pass along 

 the ends of the houses. The other ar- 

 rangements would be as explained 

 above. 



MONTGOMERY, AI*A. 



Easter trade was something out of 

 the ordinary. The season was forward. 

 Eoses of fine quality were in bloom in 

 nearly every garden in the city and oth- 

 er flowers were abundant. Yet the de- 

 mand for pot plants and cut flow'ers was 

 something unprecedented. Lilies, of 

 which there were an abundance for this 

 city, were gobbled up clean at 25 cents 

 per flower and bud. All other stock, 

 both plants and cut flowers, sold at 

 equally good prices, so that everybody 

 was thoroughly satisfied. Paterson, as 

 usual, had a large part of the business, 

 the store force having to work from 

 early Friday morning until late Satur- 

 day evening without cessation. Trad6 

 before Easter and since has been excep- 

 tionally good. Heretofore Easter has 

 not been considered one of the big days, 

 but during tha last two years it has in- 

 creased wonderfully, until now it is 

 pushing the usual holiday trade close 

 for first place. H. L. Von Trott reports 

 trade good and prospects bright. 



Considerable complaint is made 

 against some northern firms shipping 

 goods here, not only of delayed ship- 

 ments but of loose and indifferent pack- 

 ing. There is no excuse for shipping 

 stock 1,000 miles in pasteboard boxes, 

 with no outside protection and tied 

 loosely with a string. 



Decoration day here does not amount 

 to anything to speak of, though we 

 have two, the Confederate, which is 

 most generally observed, and the Union, 

 which is little observed. Outside flow- 

 ers are used almost exclusively.
