PIPING. 



Please tell me how I can arrange my 

 pipes to heat my greenhouse vrith 

 steam, the top of the boiler (not the 

 dome — I have a return flue portable) 

 being one foot above greenhouse floor ? 

 Or, would it be more practical)Ie to heat 

 with hot water under these conditions? 



Can I get any circulation by having 

 my return pipe enter boiler above water 

 line? One practical florist tells me that 

 I can. 



J. H. H. 



tn reply to .7. H. H.. we can give him 

 no information regarding the pipe ar- 

 rangement, as he has neglected to give 

 us any description of the greenhouse in 

 question. The boiler place<l with its 

 top one foot above the floor of the 

 greenhouse may be used either for water 

 or steam, as desired. In either case it 

 would be necessary to run the flows 

 over-head to the far end of the house, 

 bringing the return back under the 

 benches. A circulation can be created 

 by the return pipe entering the boiler at 

 any point below the water line in a 

 steam system, or below the flow outlet 

 in a water system, but such arranse- 

 ment would not be very desirable; the 

 returns in either case should enter the 

 boiler at or near the bottom.

PRESERVING STEAM PIPES. 



Eeplying to "Sul]scrilx'r," for preserv- 

 ing steam pipes u.sed in greenhouse heat- 

 ing from corrosion, the l>est method is 

 to paint thou with red lead and linseed 

 oil when first installed. This will in no 

 way retard radiation, and is an absolute 

 preservative. If the color is objected to, 

 a light coat of lamp black and boiled oil 

 thinned with turpentine can be applied 

 after the red lead is thoroughly dry.

PRIMULA POISONING. 



For poisoning from primula obconica 

 I would recommend putting the affected 

 hand into very hot water, as near the 

 scalding point as it can be borne. A 

 spoon dipped into boiling water and 

 then placed on a mosquito bite will stop 

 its itching. This remedy is simple but 

 effective. William Lee.

 Dear Sir: I have used your Wire 

 Carnation Supports for the last two 

 years, in all about I2.1K)U. They fill 

 the bill in every particular. Nothing 

 could be more satisfactory, and it 

 would give me a great deal of pleas- 

 ure if I can bespeak a good word for 

 vou to the trade, and you are at lib- 

 erty to refer to me at any time. 

 Yours very truly,

 Dear Sir:— After using your Model 

 carnation support in two of our 

 houses the past winter we have come 

 to the conclusion that it is perfectly 

 idapted to. supporting carnation 

 placts and shall use them on all our 

 plants the coming season. We were 

 much pleased with the sunplicity, strength and neat ap- 

 pearance ot the support. Yours truly,
