will be required? How many 2-incli 

 flows will one 3-inch main take care 

 off G. B. W.— O. 



We like to have at least one-half of 

 the radiation under the benches in a 

 carnation house, but care must be taken 

 in watering to soak the soil sufficiently 

 to prevent the drying out of the bot- 

 toms of the beds. 



There is nothing in the letter of 

 G. B. W. which gives any idea of the 

 size of the house; hence we cannot 

 give a definite answer to the question 

 regarding the number of pipes. For a 

 house twenty feet in width and not to 

 exceed 100 feet in length, 2-inch pipe 

 may be used for the flows, although 

 we would prefer to use 2i/^-inch flows 

 and would use 2-inch pipe for the re- 

 turns. In houses less than fifty feet 

 long, 1%-inch returns may be used. 

 We would not care to use 1^-inch re- 

 turns in houses more than fifty feet in 

 length, unless the systems are under 

 pressure. For a house 20x50, with two 

 feet of glass in each wall, we would 

 use for carnations three 2-inch flow 

 pipes and either seven 2-inch or nine 

 1%-inch returns, all of which may be 

 under the benches. 



Just how many 2-inch pipes can be 

 supplied by a 3-inch main will depend 

 largely upon the length of the pipes. 

 For the best results, we would not at-

tempt to carry more than 600 square

We should like to have your opinion 

 on the piping of a greenhouse for gen- 

 eral plants. We shall use hot water 

 heat. A rough outline of the house is 

 attached. Aa you see, it is 14x36 

 and runs east and west, with the boiler 

 at the northwest corner. The north 

 side is weather-boarded and is five feet 

 high. The south side contains twenty- 

 four inches of glass above eighteen 

 inches of weather boards. The east 

 end is weather-boarded to a height of 

 three feet; the balance is glass. The 

 west end is against the potting shed, 

 which contains the boiler. It is de- 

 sired to keep the boiler on the ground 

 level, and thus the opening for the re- 

 turn pipe would be just six inches 

 above the surface of the ground.

pipe two feet below the ridge to the 

 father end of the house and then, after 

 dropping down to the level of the 

 plates, connect the flow pipe to nine 

 1%-inch return pipes in two coils, by 

 means of two 2-inch pipes. Run these 

 coils to the corners of the house and 

 then along the side walls, or under the 

 side benches, to the boiler end of the 

 house, connecting each coil with the 

 boiler by means of a 2-inch pipe. 



Use five return pipes in the coil on 

 the side where there is glass in the 

 wall and four returns in the other coil. 

 Keep the coils well up on the walls, as 

 this tends to improve the circulation. 

 If it is possible to do so, we would 

 recommend dropping the boiler about 

 eighteen inches below the level of the 

 ground. Give the flow pipe a slight 

 drop and connect the expansion tank 

 with the highest point in the system.
