endeavoring to supply even the present 

 amount of radiation by means of a 

 2-inch main flow pipe. We would sug- 

 gest the sul>stitution of two 2^-inch 

 flow pipes for the single 2-inch' flow now 

 in use. Even this will not bring the 

 radiation up to what is needed for the 

 highest efficiency, but will probably 

 answer with careful attention to firing 

 in severe weather. The main returns 

 should be of the same size as the main 

 flow pipes. 



The lean-to house seems to have an 

 ample amount of radiation and if it is 

 not giving good results it is evidently 

 due to some defect in the arrangement 

 of the system. To get the best results 

 in the covered room, 10x18, about fifty 

 additional feet of pipe are needed.

PLANT TUBS 



EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR 



HVERYBODY agrees that Plaat Tubs made of 

 everlastina; Virginia White Cedar will 

 best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" brand 

 of White Cedar Plant Tubs are' made of this cele- 

 brated wood, and these goods are painted inside 

 and out with best oil paints, a rich green. 



They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large 

 size, and electoic- welded wire hoops (galvanized) 

 on the small size. The large sizes are trimmed 

 with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and 

 have perforated, removable bottoms. 



These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 24J< 

 inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large 

 for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth. 

 Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with 

 prices, furnished upon request.

 2-inch pipe in each one of the houses. 



M. B. S.— Ky. 



With everything properly arranged 

 and with proper attention to the firing, 

 there should be no difficulty in main- 

 taining 60 degrees in the houses de- 

 scribed with from three to five pounds 

 of steam. Unless there is glass in the 

 side walls, we would use ten lines of 

 1-inch pipe in each of the 20-foot 

 houses and six lines in each of the 10-

CAPACITY OF BOHJSB. 



I should like to know the number of 

 feet of 1%-inch pipe that a boiler of 

 the following description will care for: 

 The shell is 4x12 feet; the grate sur- 

 face is 4x5 feet, and the boiler con- 

 tains fifty 3-inch flues. 



C. J. H.— Colo. 



A boiler of the size indicated should 

 supply 5,000 to 6,000 linear feet of 1^4- 

 inch pipe without difficulty, and even 

 more than that with careful attention 

 to the firing.
