HORTI CULTURE

account of its volume, it will heat or 

 cool very slowly, and the circulation 

 is unable to compensate for this, the 

 result is that it will be too slow un- 

 der the varying conditions to meet the 

 requirements. 



I do not want it understood that I 

 mean to imply that the heat in the 

 water cannot be made more effectual, 

 and utilized to a better advantage with 

 the forced circulation than without it, 

 as I agree with the advocates of this 

 system in this. But I do contend, and 

 I believe all must agree with me, that 

 it takes longer to heat a large body 

 of water than a small one, and even 

 with the smaller mains and less 

 amount of water in the system on ac- 

 count of such, the rise in temperature 

 of even this lesser amount of water 

 is slow, when required in a limited 

 time, and, when not needed, even if 

 the circulation is stopped entirely, it 

 will remain hot much longer than de- 

 sired, especially if other outside in- 

 fluences are giving all the heat de- 

 manded without requiring any arti- 

 ficial heat. 



Steam heat is the fourth source of 

 artificial heat for such service, and 

 while it has been used with a greater 

 or less degree of satisfaction, accord- 

 ing to the method or plan it has been 

 installed under, it is certainly the 

 most flexible and easiest controlled 

 heating medium yet considered when 

 ■installed and handled as it can be, 

 under the most modern and improved 

 methods.
