lows per linear foot: 2-inch, 3.6 pounds; 

 1^-inch, 2.7 pounds; 154-111611, 2.25 

 pounds; l-inch, 1.7 pounds. 



To maintain a temperature of 50 de- 

 grees in zero weather, we generally 

 reckon , that twenty-five feet of hot 

 water radiation will be required for each 

 100 feet of glass. This is for the water 

 at 150 to 160 degrees. If the water 

 can be maintained at an average of 

 180 degrees, which we do not advise, 

 twenty-one feet of pipe will heat 100 

 square feet of glass. 



POSITION OF FLOW PIPES. 



In The Eeview of March 23, page 91, 

 in your reply to 6. B. W. — 0., giving 

 directions for the piping of a green- 

 house 20x50, you say: "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." Do you mean that all 

 of the returns may be under the benches, 

 or all of the piping, both returns and 

 flow pipes! 



We are planning a house 18x50, five 

 feet high at the sides and eleven feet 

 high to the ridge. The south wall will 

 contain two and one-half feet of glass, 

 on hinges. The north wall will have 

 no glass, as it will be close to another 

 building. There will be glass in the 

 east end from the height of the eaves 

 upward. We shall heat with hot wa- 

 ter. Would it be satisfactory to use 

 about the same piping as is recom- 

 mended in the paragraph from which 

 I quoted, and should the fiow pipes 

 be, preferably, above or below t The 

 house will be used mainly for growing 

 carnations, with some mixed stock, and 

 for propagating. C. B. P. — 111. 



The use of overhead fiow pipes im- 

 proves the circulation in a hot water 

 system, but when the returns are two 

 or three feet above the top of the boiler 

 it is possible to place the flows as 

 well as the returns under the benches, 

 and thus secure the benefit of the bot- 

 tom heat. 



For a house 18x50, with two and one- 

 half feet of glass in the south wall, to 

 be used for carnations, we would use 

 three 2-inch flow pipes and either sev- 

 en 2-inch or nine 1^-inch returns, as 

 suggested for G. B. W. Another method 

 of piping would be to use two 2%-inch 

 flows and either eight 2-inch or ten 1^^- 

 inch returns. If the flows are overhead, 

 there is seldom any trouble in securing 

 a good circulation.
