HEATING. 



Would a six-horse power boiler be 

 large enough for heating three houses 

 each 55x19 feet? and if too small for 

 three houses, would it do for two? 

 Also say how many rows of pipes re- 

 quired and best size. The crop to be 

 grown is chiefly carnations, and gen- 

 eral stocks of window plants. The 

 thermometer drops below zero some- 

 times, but most of the time is several 

 degrees above during winter. I may 

 say I am getting pipes from Chicago, 

 and the duty on any size less than 1% 

 inch is 35 per cent; above that size 15 

 per cent. PRESTO. 



If the three houses, each 55 feet by 

 19 feet, have glass on the roof only, 

 the six-horse power steam boiler will 

 heat them, but it is the limit of its 

 capacity, so that if the said houses 

 have any glass on their vertical sides, 

 the boiler will be hardly large enough, 

 without some forcing of the fire, 

 which would not prove economical. 

 The coils should be of 1% or 1-inch 

 pipe; any larger pipe will not give 

 desired results. In proportioning the 

 pipes, if 1%-inch pipe is used, he will 

 need one lineal foot of pipe to each 

 two and seven-tenths square feet of 

 glass on the house, and if 1-inch pipe, 

 one lineal foot to each two feet of 

 glass. HENRY W. GIBBONS. 



MIDDLETOWN, CONN.— Mr. Henry 

 Fountain, the florist, has put a new 

 front in his store which has made 

 quite an improved appearance in his 

 place. According to reports from 

 growers, carnations are not looking 

 very good, owing to the dry weather 

 we have had. Asters have suffered 

 terribly from the disease this season.
