at the point where they pass through 

 the partition, and carry them back to 

 the boiler alongside the other returns. 

 There should be a valve on each of 

 these pipes, as well as on four of the 

 other returns. The flow pipes should 

 be given a slight fall from the time 

 they enter the house. 



While it will be well to have most 

 of the ventilators on the side away 

 from the prevailing winds, five or six 

 could be placed on the opposite side 

 to good advantage, for use in warm 

 weather.

The indications are that the time is 

 close at hand for favorable purchases 

 by such eastern greenhouse establish- 

 ments as burn buckwheat coal and have 

 not already bought their supply tor 

 the season of 1912-13. Buckwheat is 

 to the greenhouse fraternity in the 

 anthracite district what Pocahontas is 

 to the growers farther west, the popu- 

 lar and most largely used fuel. Ac- 

 cording to an authority on the anthra- 

 cite situation in the New York mar- 

 ket, "the only evidences of o^ersuppiy 

 are in the steam grades. There the 

 demand is slow, and only the com- 

 parative lightness of receipts prevents

 1 and 2 buckwheat are being shaded 

 by independent shippers, who in some 

 cases are hard pressed to dispose of 

 all that IS coming forward. No. 3 is 

 showing greater firmness than the 

 other steam sizes at the moment." 



The anthracite market, other than 

 the steam sizes, is strong. The shut- 

 down in the mines following April 1 is 

 estimated to have reduced the sprsoti '« 

 output 9,188,000 tons. Se impoSa^ce 

 of this IS apparent when it is con- 



sidered that the total production of 

 all kinds of anthracite for the entire 

 United States is about 75,000,000 tons 

 per year. In spite of the apparent 

 shortage and the warnings of the coal 

 trade that famine conditions are likely 

 to prevail in the autumn, consumers 

 are holding off; the steam sizes are the 

 only ones that are selling. As another 

 New York authority puts it: "The 

 only kind of coal for which there is a 

 demand at the present time is what is 

 known as buckwheat, and its price has
