Joy, of the Joy Floral Co., Nashville, Tenn. "A machine is much cleaner and keeps the flowers much longer. We have also found that the York machine requires practically no re- pairs and our oldest machine is seven years old. We are of the opinion that the calcium brine tubes are better to hold down the temperature than the brine tanks with coils in ; A 4-ton York refrigerating machine, driven by a 20-horsepower gas engine, according to W. K. Brown, superintend- ent of the C. & G. L. Pennock range, at Lansdowne, Pa., cools a concrete room, 7x12x32 feet, lined with three inches of cork. He says: "The cost of operation is about 35 cents per hour for power and about 1 cent per hour for lubrication. A 100-pound cylinder of anhydrous am- monia will last several years, if the pip- ing is free from leaks. It is possible for us to reduce the temperature in the above-mentioned room at the rate of 10 degrees in ninety minutes to a point 45 degrees above zero. Below this point, however, a little greater length of time is required. In this operation a brine temperature of 15 to 18 degrees is main- ; Mr. Brown believes that the tise of the brine tanks in connection with the York machine is highly desir- able and, if electricity is available, he advises its use in preference to other forms of power. Another Ammonia Machine. A refrigerating machine and equip- ment suitable for florists' use is manu- factured by the Lipman Refrigerator Car & Mfg. Co., Beloit, Wis., in which anhydrous ammonia also is used as a refrigerant. This machine is used by a number of florists. &q
