flow pipe, but care should be taken that 

 there is no more than 400 square feet 

 of radiating surface, including that of 

 the flow pipe. 



About four coils, each consisting of 

 one 2M!-inch flow pipe and three 2-inch 

 returns, or three coils with four re- 

 turns, will heat a house 23x80 feet to 

 60 degrees. F. R. ' 



CINCINNATI. 



The Qateway to the South. 



The summer demand last week proved 

 fair. The supply was none too large 

 and was usually taken up in a hurry. 

 Gladioli and roses are the leaders; the 

 former because they have the real qual- 

 ity and so far have been cleaning up 

 nicely, and the latter because they are 

 the largest single factor in quat'tity. 

 The new cuts from the young or dried 

 down stock are beginning to come in 

 and are proving good. 



Asters are coming in better and 

 within a few days should offer both 

 variety and quantity. Other offerings 

 include Easter and auratum lilies, water 

 lilies, hardy hydrangeas and carnations. 

 The call for ferns is good, but plu- 

 mosus and Sprengeri are not moving 

 any too well. 



As a whole business is much better 

 than a fortnight ago, when we had one 

 awfully dull week. It is to be hoped 

 that with the increasing supply there 

 will be a proportional increase in de- 

 mand. 



Club Outing. 



The Florists' Club's annual outing 

 was held at Coney Island Thursday, 

 July 18. Every boat that left the 

 wharf carried its quota of the trade 

 who were putting aside business worries 

 and cares for the day. The winners 

 of the contests were as follows: 



Men's bowling — Joe Beran, first; Ed Witter- 

 staetter, second; C. E. Critchell, Charles Wit- 

 terstaetter and Charles Murphy, tied for third. 



Ladles' bowling — Mrs. R. A. Murphy, first, the 

 prize being a pretty handbag that had been made 

 by Mrs. A. C. Hecicman, Jr., and given by her to 

 the committee for a prize; Mrs. Granducci, sec- 

 ond; Mrs. Sunderman, third. 



Boys' ball game — Won by growers, Ben 

 George, Jr., captain. 



Men's ball game — Won by growers, Ed. Schu- 

 mann, captain.

 more plentiful and selling better than 

 last year at this time.

 although It used more fuel than yours. I 

 also have your Generator, which Is giving
