PIPING. 



Please tell ms liow to pipe the house 

 described below for hot water. House 

 20x76, with 10x20 boiler room. Want 

 to use 1 1-4 inch and 2 or 3-inch feed 

 pipes, whichever are best. Walls 2 1-2 

 feet from plate to ground. Rafters, 12 

 feet. Boiler is a Capitol Mascot, made 

 by V. S. Heater Co. Temperature in 

 coldest weather to be maintained at 48 

 degrees. Outside temperature sometimes 

 falls to as low as 1-5 degrees below zero. 

 Also please state how much, if any, the 

 boiler should be placed below surface of 

 ground. E. C. 



In reply to E. C, for the heating of 

 the house in question, twelve lines of 

 2-inch W. I. pipes should be used, two 

 'flows and two returns vinder each of the 

 side benches and under the center bench, 

 as indicated in accompanying figure. A 

 3-ineh main flow and return should ex- 

 tend from the boiler into the greenhouse, 

 there branching into three 2-inch mains, 

 as shown. The top of the boiler should 

 be not less than 10 inches below the floor 

 of the greenhouse, and more if practica- 

 ble. Hexry W. Gibbons.

GOVERNMENT SEEDS. 



Soon the generous government will be- 

 gin its annual distribution of free seeds, 

 and this year lorty million packages will 

 be sent out. The rumor that free flower 

 pots would be sent with them proves to 

 be a canard. Free hoopskirts and other 

 cages are possible, however, but free beci' 

 seems a long wav ofl'. 



Awarded the only first- 

 class certificate of merit

 can Florists, at Boston, 

 Uass., Ane. 31, 1890. for
