800 square feet of radiating surface; 

 If one 3-inch overhead flow pipe is used, 

 eleven 2-inch returns will be needed in 

 each house, which will call for one more 

 return on the inner wall than is pro- 

 posed. Of course the house can be 

 heated in ordinary weather if only ten 

 returns are put in, but to maintain the 

 temperature stated, when the thermom- 

 eter is below zero, will not be econom- 

 ical unless at least one more pipe is 

 added. 



It would be better to run the flow 

 pipe downhill than to carry it with a 

 rise, and the use of three 2Vl'-inch flow 

 pipes, instead of one 3-inch, is sug- 

 gested. In that case nine 2-inch re- 

 turns would be sufficient. 



STATE COLLEGE, PA. 



The seventh annual Farmers' Week 

 at the Pennsylvania State College will 

 occur December 26 to January 2. 

 There will be much of general interest 

 to florists and nurserymen and consid- 

 erable of special application to the busi- 

 ness. C. H. Totty is on the program 

 for December 28, to talk on carnations 

 and chrysanthemums. The other lec- 

 tures on trade topics are by the in- 

 structors in the college. Last year 

 several florists attended during the en- 

 tire week,. and no doubt others will do 

 so this year. Senator Joseph Heacock 

 says it was one of the most interesting 

 experiences of his life. 



Kendallville, Ind. — The Johnson Flo- 

 ral Co. has had excellent success with 

 its poinsettias this season. 



Lawrence, Mass. — W. C. Campbell 

 has opened a new flower store in the
