PIPING. 

 We are erecting a short-roofed carna- 

 tion lioux- J::\7S. :iNc. i palm house Ux 

 l i. with an ell 5,x20. These houses have 

 walls 6| feel high and are 10J feet to 

 ridge. We -hall use a Kroesehell hot- 

 water boiler and J' inch flow and 2-inch 

 return pipes. How many flows and how

 as low as 20 degrees below zero. We 

 also have a rose house 18x44, and would 

 like to know how many 2-inch hot-water 

 pipes should be painted with sulphur to 

 keep down mildew ? 1). H. II. 



It will be necessary to have more pal 

 i ii ul. ii - .i- to the glass surface in the 

 several houses in order thai an intelligent 

 reply may be given. A sketch should be 

 made showing arrangement of roofs and 

 sidrs, showing what is glass and what is 

 solid wall: also a rough ground plan 

 showing the relation of the houses to 

 each other and boiler cellar and arrange- 

 ment of benches and paths. For ch ickirjg 

 mildew in rose houses one 2-inch pipe un- 

 der each bench may lie painted, at first 

 with the sulphur, and if not found suf- 

 ficient more can lie painted later. The 

 prompt effectiveness of the sulphur paint 

 on hot-water pipes depends upon the 

 temperature of the pipes; therefore, if 

 strong firing is being done a less number 

 of painted pipes will be necessary than 

 if very slow tiring is being done.

PIPING SMALL HOUSE. 



1 have a greenhouse 20x40 feet, having 



glass in one end and on side walls. The 



heater has four flows and four retur/s, 



2-inch. How shall I pipe the house? 



For heating the greenhouse described 



to a night temperature of liO to 65 de- 

 grees, seventeen lines of 2-ineli pipes will 

 be required. The distribution of this 

 surface would lie five pipes under each 

 side bench, two flows and three returns 

 under each, and one eoil of seven pipes 

 under flu- center bench, three flows run- 

 ning undeT the east side of tl enter 



bed near the edge, and four returns undei 

 the west side. A 2-inch How and return 

 main from the boiler to each of the three 

 coils will be ample.
