It is the neatest and best work- ing set I have. I am so well pleased with it that if I was beginning new again I would have all 2-inch pipes for hot water. Cooling down is all a myth; heating u]) is the question, and that is accomplislied in much less time with the small than with large pipes. My boilers are self-ieeders and there is only a slight declinein the temperature of the water in the pi])es after leaving them six to eight hours. Marine boilers £irc made and repaired in this place and I got cast steam boiler tubes nearly as good as new at low rates for ;dl my houses; we cut and fitted them up our- selves. That decided the tpiestion of steam or hot water for me in favor of the latter, and as yet I do not regret it. John Spalding. New London, Conn. PLANTS FROM POTS.
