steam pressure at all times sufficient to 

 operate a pump and pump the return 

 water to the boiler from a receiving cis- 

 tern ; this, however, would entail con- 

 tinual additional fixed expense. Without 

 question, the cheapest and best method 

 would be to employ a competent mason 

 to build a water-tight pit sufficiently 

 deep to bring the maximum water line 

 of the boiler below the circulating coils 

 in the greenhouse; this is not an impossi- 

 ble operation, and, in the end, will prove 

 the cheapest and most satisfactory. 

 New Yorli. Henry W. Gibbons. 



PIPING. 



In reply to L. E. A., the size of the 

 mains is ample for the work placed upon 

 them. The trouble lies in too little 

 radiating surface in the coils. 

 For the house, 22 feet wide, as- 

 suming glass on the roofs only, there 

 should be not less than nineteen lines 

 of 11/4-inch pipe, or if glass on one side 

 wall, twenty or twenty-one lines to in- 

 sure a temperature of 60 degrees on cold- 

 est nights with easy firing. For the 

 heating of an eleven-foot house, nine or 

 ten lines would be required. The smoke- 

 stack of his boiler should be about twen- 

 ty-five to thirty feet, the height being 

 governed somewhat by the geographical 

 and other conditions surrounding it. 

 New York. Henry W. Gibbons. 



Des Moines, Ia. — W. L. Morris has

 Thirtieth street and will at once erect 

 on same a range of houses containing 

 12,000 square feet of glass. Next" season

 tage Grove avenue to the new location.
