upon each plate and the others on the 

 purlins, or under the ridge. Eun the 

 flows at the purlins about one foot below 

 the glass, or two feet from the glass if 

 under the ridge. The boiler is amply 

 large for a house 18x75 feet. 



CAPACITY OF BOIKBB. 



Would you advise me as to the ca- 

 pacity of the boiler and the size and 

 quantity of pipe necessary to heat three 

 greenhouses, 15x60 feet eachf The side 

 and end walls are four feet high and 

 it is ten feet to the ridge cap. One 

 house, disconnected, has ten feet of ce- 

 ment wall; the others have walls of 

 wood covered with asphalt. There are 

 sheds at the north end of all the houses. 

 At present we have flue heat in each, 

 but wish to install hot water heat, with 

 suflBcient temperature to grow carna- 

 tions. Can cut flowers be grown with 

 flue heatt J. K. H.— Pa. 



The hot water boiler for the three 

 houses should have a rating of about 

 1,050 square feet of radiation for hard 

 coal, or 1,200 square feet for bituminous 

 coal, and the grates should be respec- 

 tively twenty-four and twenty-six 

 inches in diameter for most makes of 

 heaters. This, however, is not uniform. 



Fop radiation, use two 2% -inch flow 

 pipes either on the plates or purlins and 

 three 2-inch returns on exposed walls 

 and two returns on each inside wall of 

 each house. This calls for six 2 1/^ -inch 

 flows and sixteen 2-inch returns for the 

 three houses. While hot water or steam 

 heat is by all means preferred, cut flow- 

 ers may be grown successfully in green- 

 houses heated with flues. 



Alliance, O. — A. C. Eastwood, of 15 

 South Arch avenue, has purchased the 

 Barber greenhouses at Beloit, 0. The 

 purchase includes twenty acres of land, 

 six greenhouses and all of the equip- 

 ment. He intends to add other green- 

 houses to the range this summer. 



To stop that 



pipe leak per- 

 manently— 

 cheaply— use 

 Emergency 

 Pipe Clamps.
