MORE HEAT NEEDED. 



Please advi;?e me what changes tvou1<! 

 be best in order to secure a little more 

 heat in my greenhouses in severe weath- 

 er. I have a return flue boiler of eleven 

 sections, capacity about 2,200 feet of 4- 

 ineh pipe. This heats a rose house, 

 19x40, in which .56 degrees is required. 

 two carnation houses, 16x40, requiring .52 

 degrees, and a house 16x40 for general 

 stock, needing 45 to 50 degrees. I fall 

 5 or 6 degrees sliort of the required tem- 

 peratures in the coldest weather. In 

 the rose house there arc two flows and 

 six returns, all 4-incli, under the benches. 

 In one carnation house there are tw.i 

 flows and six returus, all 3-ineh, in the 

 other two flows and four returns, all 4- 

 inch. In the plant house there is a 4- 

 ineh flow feeding two 4-inch returns and 

 one 2-inch flow feeding six 1-ineh re- 

 turns hanging on the wall. If I coul I 

 afford to keep a night man I would be all 

 right, but I have to leave the fire three 

 or four hours at a time to get sleep. If 

 I increased the number of flows would I 

 get more rapid circulation ? 



W. P. E. 



There is sufficient radiation in all your 

 houses to maintain the temperatures de- 

 sired, providing the water is maintained 

 constantly at ISO degrees. If, as you 

 say, it is necessary to leave the plant for 

 three or four hours at a time it is likely 

 that the water cools off considerably. 

 With good anthracite coal, however, that 

 should not be the case. No statement i, 

 made in regard to the fuel used, but I 

 assume it is hard coal from the type of 

 boiler described. If not, perhaps the use 

 of hard coal during the coldest weather 

 will be a remedy. You do not state 

 whether the flow pipes are arranged on 

 an up-hill or down-hill system. If the 

 flow pipes rise from the boiler to the 

 far end of the house the distribution of 

 heat will be more satisfactory than if on 

 a down-hill system. L. C. C.

St. Clairsviixe, O. — W. S. Taggait 

 has sold his gieenhouses to M. J. Mor- 

 rison, wlio will continue the business as 

 ilorrisons Greenhouses, Frank Morrison, 

 manager. Mr. Taggart will remove to 

 southern California. 



G.4-RRETTSVILLE. O. — We are looking for 

 a good season, says C. E. Tinker. Sev- 

 eral growers were caught by the cold, 30- 

 below zero, and had their stock frozen,, 

 so bedding plants are likely to be in de- 

 mand.
