JDNB 22. 1916. 



four benches in the house. I intend to 

 put two 2-ineh pipes — that is, one flow 

 and one return — under each bench. 

 This will make, in all, eight lines of 

 2-inch pipes. 



I want the expansion tank to be 

 placed in the upper story of the boiler 

 shed, which is about fourteen feet 

 above the main return. I want a 

 night temperature of about 50 de- 

 grees. The outside temperature never 

 drops below zero. The outlet of the 

 boiler is 4-inch, but I would reduce the 

 main flow about eight feet from the 

 boiler. Please let me know what you 

 think of my plan. C. E, M. — Ore. 



Although nothing is said about glass 

 in the walls, from the fact that they 

 are six feet in height it would seem 

 that there must be at least three feet 

 of glass in one wall and preferably in 

 each side wall, as well as probably in 

 one end below the level of the plate or 

 gutter. 



The statement regarding the outside 

 temperature is also rather indefinite. It 

 is stated that it never drops below 

 zero. If it goes as low as zero three 

 or four times each year, it will be ad- 

 visable to provide for a zero tempera- 

 ture, while if 10 degrees above zero is 

 the usual minimum temperature, con- 

 siderably less piping will answer. Even 

 with an outside temperature of 10 de- 

 grees above zero, we would not care 

 to risk the house with less than ten 

 2-inch pipes, and for zero twelve should 

 be used. This will make it possible to 

 place two pipes on each side wall of 

 the house. In case there is glass in 

 the walls, an additional return should 

 be provided for each three feet of 

 glass. 



While the arrangement of pipes sug- 

 gested may be used to good advantage, 

 we would prefer to run a 2%-inch flow 

 pipe upon each plate and another five 

 or six feet below the ridge, with seven 

 to nine 2-inch returns. Of these, two 

 might be upon each wall, or under the 

 side benches, and the others under the 

 middle benches. If it is preferred to 

 use 2-inch pipe, we would place the 

 flows on the plates and overhead, and 

 eonnect two returns to each flow. Run 

 the flow pipes downhill and connect 

 the expansion tank with the highest 

 part of the system.

PLANT TUBS 



EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR 



fBYERYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of 

 la everlasting Virginia White Cedar wiU 



best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" brand

 biuted 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 electric-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 24U 

 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 reauest.
