PIPING. 



In reply to the inquiry of J. D. S., as- 

 suming his houses are level, the method 

 he proposes, of starting a circulation 

 from the near end of each house, drop- 

 ping into the return main at the far end, 

 and have this return main extend through 

 the house back to the rear end again, is 

 practicable but not desirable; it would 

 entail a trench the entire length of each 

 house to accommodate the return main. 



A more simple and effective plan is 

 suggested by the a<.'eompanying plan; it 



Flows Bner at A T* eoiLi

consists of the steam pipe or flow rising 

 directly from the boiler to the highest 

 point overhead, then grading downward 

 in the potting shed along the end of the 

 houses; from this main connections would 

 be run through the partition and drop 

 to each eoil as indicated, the coils then 

 grade all the way down around the house 

 from A to B, then dropping into the main 

 return connection. In this manner, by 

 valving the several pipes, one or more 

 circuits around the house can be opened. 



The main steam connection from the 

 boiler should be 3-ineh and the return 

 connection 2-inch, reducing at the neces- 

 sary points as shown. Of course, with 

 this plan, it will be necessary to step over 

 the pipes to get out of the house at the 

 far end, but a small platform at the door 

 readily overcomes the slight inconven- 

 ience. Henry W. Gibbons.

FLUE nTTINGS. 



Are there any fittings on the market 

 to be used for connecting 2-ineh and 2^2- 

 inch flues? B. Co. 



In reply to the inquiry of B. Co., fit- 

 tings for 2%-inch tubes or flues can be 

 procured from any representative house 

 manufacturing greenhouse heating fit- 

 tings, but I know of no one making a line 

 of fittings especially for 2-inch tubes and 

 flues. In my practice I use for connect- 

 ing 2-inch tubes 2% -inch wrought iron 

 collars, caulking in the joints, and have 

 some of these collars threaded on the 

 outside at one end for insertion in the 

 regular 2%-inch screwed steam fittings. 



New York. Henby W. Gibbons. 



Olean, N. Y. — D. E. Herron has glass 

 and other material on the ground for a 

 large addition to his greenhouse plant. 

 The new houses will require 12,000 feet 

 of glass and this addition will double 

 the size of his plant. 



I WOULD no more be without the Ee- 

 VIEW than I would be without a boiler. —
