The Florists' Review 



Febbdaby 3, 1916. 



One-inch pipe may be used in the 

 coils for steam heating. To raise the 

 temperature 15 degrees above the tem- 

 peratures furnished by the present hot 

 water plant, the various houses will 

 require the following steam radiation: 

 In the house 25x50, put in one 1^-inch 

 overhead feed pipe and bring back 

 three 1-inch returns on each side wall. 

 In the house 17x32, add one flow and 

 two returns on each wall. For the 

 house 15x20, put in one 1 14-inch flow 

 and two 1-inch returns on each wall. 

 In the lean-to, use a 1%-inch flow on 

 the back wall and carry two 1-inch re- 

 turns around on the outer walls. 



The two independent houses will re- 

 quire about 100 square feet of steam 

 radiation each. To furnish the required 

 steam for this radiation, a 10-horse- 

 power boiler will be needed, and if con- 

 siderably larger than this it will re- 

 quire less frequent attention. A hori- 

 zontal boiler is preferable to one with 

 vertical tubes when set on the surface. 

 Constant attention will be required if 

 wood is used as fuel.

A PROMINENT CARNATION RROWER SAYS THIS 

 STANDARD RECORDINB THERMOMETER 



ABOUT 

 THE 



Lancaster, Pa. 

 Standard Thermometer Co., Boston, Mass. 



Gentlemen: Please send me 25 record plates 

 like the enclosed sample, and I want to say 

 that the machine, bought a good many years 

 back, is keeping up its good work right along. 

 I think it a very useful adjunct to good plant 

 growing, and it should be in every greenhouse, 

 as reference to it may often tell what is 

 wrong with a batch of plants. 



Very truly yours, Albebt M. Hebb. 



The actuating element of the Standard Record- 

 ing Thermometer is of lamina metal, which, be- 

 sides being extremely sensitive to temperature 

 changes, is practically indestructible. Record 

 charts are furnished either daily or weekly, and 

 the whole mechanism is contained in an attractive 

 metal case fitted with lock and key, which insures 

 the record from being tampered with. 



The clock movement is of extremely high grade; 

 everything about the instrument is up to the high- 

 est possible standard of manufacture.
