Last winter, of course, was a tough 

 problem anyhow. We made red lead 

 joints, with the addition of some other 

 material, and have not had a leak. If 

 you can put us right, we shall be 

 greatly obliged to you.

From the description of the piping, 

 it would appear that there are two 

 4-inch flows and two returns on each 

 side of the house, 20x65 feet, and that 

 they run across the end of the hauler 

 but just how much the boiler is Welow 

 the level of the returns, or how much 

 slope is given to the piping, is not so 

 clear. While nine pipes would be de- 

 sirable for the heating of the house to 

 60 degrees, there should be no difficulty 

 in securing practically that temperature 

 with eight 4-inch pipes. 



The trouble is undoubtedly with the 

 arrangement of the piping. The boiler 

 should be so located that the lowest 

 part of the returns is above the top of 

 the boiler. As it is stated that there 

 is a drop of five feet in the returns, this 

 is probably the case, and there should 

 be no trouble about securing good cir- 

 culation. The piping should be ar- 

 ranged with the flows running slightly 

 uphill, the slope being perhaps one inch 

 in ten feet, with the returns running 

 downhill just underneath. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



At the joint meeting of the Minne- 

 sota Horticultural Society and the Min- 

 nesota Rose Society, held June 14 and 

 15 at the State Agricultural College, 

 the exhibition of flowers was said to 

 be one of the best ever seen in the 

 state. The flowers were staged in the 

 drill hall. 



The meeting on the first day took 

 the form of a picnic dinner on the col- 

 lege campus. In the afternoon a pro- 

 gram of short addresses was given by 

 members of the trade and others, with 

 J. M. Underwood, of Lake City, pre- 

 siding. Among the speakers were: Dean 

 A. F. Woods; C. F. Harrison, of York, 

 Neb.; Charles Haralson, superintendent 

 of the state fruit breeding farm at Ex- 

 celsior; A. Brackett, of Excelsior'; 

 Prof. A. R. Kohler; Clarence Wedge, 

 of Albert Lea; W>man Elliot, of Min- 

 neapolis; Charles Nordin, of Minneapo- 

 lis; Mrs. J. P. Neil, of Duluth; Mrs. H. 

 T. Tillotson, president of the Rose So- 

 ciety; Oliver Gibbs, a flower grower of 

 Florida, and Prof. Le Roy Cady, of the 

 agricultural station. 



Nake Your 

 Boiler an Asset, 

 Not a Liability 



A boiler costs enough so that every florist should be anxious to 

 get the most possible for his money; he should closely investigate sev- 

 eral styles before choosing. The more you investigate the more sure 

 it is that you'll buy the Superior Standard. It was designed spec- 

 ially for greenhouse work after a close study of what was needed. It 

 is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but 

 —more flues give more heat ; more flues require less fuel ; the water 

 heats quicker and hotter because the volume of water heated by each 

 flue is smaller. All we ask is a chance to show you.
