The Florists^ Review

is the best way to arrange the piping? 

 Will you also name a few roses that 

 I can grow in pots? Will the house 

 be too small for growing a few carna- 

 tions for local customers? I wish to use 

 the house for general purposes in con- 

 nection with a retail trade. If my 

 plans are carried out, I shall enlarge 

 the space under glass until the whole 

 lot is occupied. J. M. — Ind. 



The description and sketch are not 

 entirely clear and we cannot be sure 

 whether the addition is to be a lean-to, 

 like the original house, or an even- 

 span house. The sketch shows three 

 feet of glass in the side wall of the 

 lean-to, but whether there is glass in 

 either side of the new house is not 

 stated. However, we shall consider it 

 even-span, with glass in one wall. Had 

 the size of the grate been stated, we 

 should be able to make some estimate 

 of the capacity of the boiler, but we 

 can only say that if it has a grate 

 twenty inches in diameter it should 

 heat the two greenhouses to 60 degrees 

 in zero weather, with the new house 

 fourteen feet wide. 



The heater can be placed in a cellar 

 under the kitchen, and from it one 2"^- 

 inch flow pipe should lead into the 

 present greenhouse. If the new house 

 is even-span, we would run this flow 

 pipe overhead, just under the ridge, and 

 would connect it at the farther end of 

 the extension with six 2-inch pipes, of 

 which three should be on each side 

 wall and should be carried as far as 

 the door at the southwest end of the 

 present house and the one in the north- 

 west wall leading to the basement. At 

 those points connect each coil with a 

 2%-inch main return leading to the 

 boiler. 



This will give sufficient heat for 

 growing carnations and bedding plants, 

 but we would discourage giving much 

 attention to roses. A few Baby Eam- 

 blers might be bought in the fall, either 

 field-grown or from 3-inch pots, and 

 brought into bloom for sale as house 

 plants at Easter. 



A NEW SEMI-IBON HOUSE. 



I expect to build a greenhouse, 21x40 

 and five and one-half feet to the eaves. 

 There will be twenty-eight inches of 

 glass in each side wall; the lower part 

 of the walls will consist of concrete 

 blocks. One of the gables will be ex- 

 posed; the other will adjoin the service 

 building. I shall use hot* water heat. 

 The house will be a semi-iron frame 

 stock house, of Lord & Burnham con- 

 struction. The roof will have a 6-inch 

 pitch. How much pipe will be needed 

 for the flows and coils? Will a Rippley 

 hot water boiler heat this house to 60 

 degrees in zero weather, or will it bo 

 necessary to use two, yoked together? 

 Should the coils be hung on the walls 

 or placed beneath the benches? If be- 

 neath the benches, please state the dis- 

 tance from bench to pipes. 



D. E. W.— Ind. 



For heating a house 21x40 feet, with 

 twenty-eight inches of glass in the side 

 walls, to 60 degrees in zero weather, a 

 boiler With a rating of 500 to 600 

 square feet of hot water radiation will 

 be needed. For an establishment re- 

 quiring less than 1,000 square feet of 

 hot water radiation, we would use but 

 one boiler, owing to the extra labor 

 in operating two boilers. Fpf , larger 

 TADges it is desirable to htive an extra
