GREENHOUSE HEATING j 



From The Weekly Florists' Review, Dec. 20, 1906. 



A HEATING RECORD 



1 have two houses. e:»ch 23 x 100, in which I grow lettuce ;ind general 

 stock. I keep a night tempenture 50 to 52 degree-i. They are heated with 

 hot water. 1 nad a special boiler made to order that has proved itself be- 

 yond my expectations. In the winter of 1905-6 I used thirty-one tons of 

 coal at $1,90 and ten cords of 3-foot wood worth about $2.50 per cord. This 

 I thought very reasonable. Tlie circulation is perfect. I^ast winter in 

 moderate weather, that is, not windy and outside temperature 20 degrees or 

 so above zero, I would leave the boiler nine hours with a variation of bui 

 3 degrees. 



Ten days ago 1 was called to Cleveland over night. The outside teni 

 pcraturc was 46 degrees at 2.40 p. m., when I left the boiler, with a grad 

 ually sinking merciiry. There being no men about, I left instructions that 

 the boiler should not be touched until next morning. My wife, on my 

 return next evening, reported that at 7 p. m. it became quite windy and b\ 

 9.30 was freezing, with stormy outlook. When she awoke at 6 a. m.. the 

 outside temperature was 26 degrees, and the greenhouses were 47 degrees. 

 I think this is a record for fifteen hours and twenty minutes with- 

 out attention. 1 would like to hear from anyone who can beat it.
