INCREASING BOILER CAPACITY. 



Is it praciicable to put ton 4-iiieli 

 pipes on bottom of boiler in order to get 

 more heating capacity? Boiler is 04- 

 inch shell, 14 feet long and has 34 flues. 

 My idea was that it would increase the 

 heating capacity of boiler one-third. The 

 boiler has to heat 44,688 square feet of 

 glass to 55 degrees at night and 60 to 65 

 degrees during the day. We carry a low 

 pressure — 5 to S lbs. It has carried 

 same amount in weather above zero, but 

 if adding pipes is practicable I would 

 like to increase the heating capacity in 

 preference to adding another boiler. 

 Pipes to screw in boiler at bottom, using 

 T end, making one entrance do for two 

 pipes. Boiler is arranged so that heat 

 goes first to rear end and then returns 

 through flues and out to chimney. 



S. J. P. 



Replying to S. J. P.. I very much 

 question the practicability of adding 

 heating surface to the boiler in question 

 in the manner he describes.' The heat- 

 ing surface in such boilers is seldom, if 

 ever, in excess of the amount required 

 to maintain a proper ratio with the area 

 of the grates, and any additional heating 

 surface placed as he suggests would 

 require either additional grate surface 

 or an increased height to the smoke 

 stack to induce stronger draft, and also 

 more frequent firing, which intense fir- 

 ing would have an injurious eff'ect upon 

 the boiler; it would be better to install 

 a second boiler to do the additional work, 

 connecting the two to common mains.

PAINTING STEAM PIPES. 



Have just given the interior of my 

 houses a fresh coat of white paint. The 

 steam pipes look very unsightly. How 

 can 1 whiten them permanently without 

 affecting radiation? C. L. D. 



Replying to C. L. D., we know of no 

 white paint which can be used satis- 

 factorily on the steam pipes of a com- 

 mercial greenhouse. If it is desired to 

 paint them for appearance only, use 

 lamp black and turpentine with just 

 enough oil to give it a body, but, if the 

 intense black color is objectionable, a 

 little white lead might be added to give 

 a gray or slate color tint ; if, however, 

 the paint is to preserve the pipes, a coat 

 of red lead should first be used.

 Mr. Theron" N. Parker,

 Dear Sir : I have used your Wire 

 Carnation Supports for the last two 

 years, in all about 12,U00. 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 

 you 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 

 adapted to supporting carnation 

 placts and shall use them on all our 

 plants the coming season. We were 

 much pleased with the simplicity-, strength and neat ap- 

 pearance ot the support. Yours tiuly,
