Floriculture. 156 The Florists^ Review 21. 1!>22 mmmMM «Ss*^ZK»ne<SS*^«R»KS*S£*' TSS^'a mmmmmm Franklin Park Houses at Boston It is generally conceded that this is the largest single park range built at one time, devoted solely to the propagating and growing of bedding plants and the housing of decorative palms. There are ten houses in all, two of which were for- merly in Mount Hope C'emetery. They were built for the City eighteen or twenty years ago. Our contract called for taking them down and re-erecting them at Franklin Park. The heating system for the range is gravity steam. The Park Department advises us that in the coldest weather of last winter, the palm house wing, which is farthest from the boiler, was heated to 65 degrees throughout the night, with but a pound of steam showing oil the boilers. The architects were Haven and Hoyt, who have been retained on many of Boston's important works. We will gladly furnish you any further particulars, along with interior views of the model work roont and greenhouses.
