Greenhouse Heating. 



TEMPEBATUBE IS NOT STATED. 



I am mailing to you a blue print of 

 my new greenhouse. Will you please 

 advise me as to the best way of ar- 

 ranging the piping for a hot water 

 heating system? The house runs east 

 and west and is of first-class construc- 

 tion. It contains four benches. 



S. C. H.— N. Y. 



The blue print shows a house 28x75. 

 Its walls are six feet high, with 37-inch 

 Bashes in each. The boiler house and 

 workroom are at one end of the green- 

 house. 



There is nothing either in the letter 

 or blue print to indicate what tem- 

 perature is desired in the house, 

 but most houses are piped either for 

 60 to 65 degrees or for 50 to 55 de- 

 grees. We would suggest, therefore, 

 for a rose house, the use of three 2%- 

 inch flow pipes, running one about three 

 feet below the ridge, and one of the 

 others on each plate, or at the purlins. 

 Connect these flow pipes with the re- 

 turn coils at the farther end of the 

 ' house. Eun three 2-inch returns under 

 each of the four benches and place two 

 on each side wall, below the flow pipe. 



If a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees 

 is desired, use three flows and twelve 

 returns, placing two under each bench 

 and upon each wall. 



PrPINQ IN A MILD CLIMATE. 



We have a greenhouse 18x85 and nine 

 feet high to the ridge, with two and 

 one-half feet of glass in the side walls. 

 There are solid beds at the sides, to 

 make the house warmer, and there is a 

 bench in the center. We should like 

 to have you tell us the best way to heat 

 this house for carnations. The winters 

 here are quite mild; the outside tem- 

 perature seldom drops below 24 degrees, 

 and then only for one night at a time. 

 The winter temperature averages from 

 35 to 45 degrees at night. We are 

 thinking of using four 3-inch blue-flame 

 kerosene burners, under a boiler with 

 water circulation. We do not wish to 

 be up at night to attend to the boiler. 

 Your advice will be highly appreciated. 



M. N. T. P.— Ga. 



We have had no experience in heat- 

 ing greenhouses under such climatic 

 conditions as those mentioned, but we 

 are confident that there will be no diffi- 

 culty in maintaining a temperature 

 suited to carnations if a 2i^-inch flow 

 pipe is run with a slight fall about two

WHY THE KROESCHELL? 



Here Is One Out of Hundreds of Testimonials 

 Open to Your Perusal from Practical Growers in 

 Every Section of the Country— MEN WHO KNOW 



The Edgfar Establishment, Waverley, Mass. Famed for Quality 

 Entire Plant Heated by Kroeschell Boilers 



"Begarding the Eroeschell, it is the best we have ever had and satis- 

 factory beyond our expeclations. It heats up especially quick and has saved 

 us considerable already in the price of fuel. When we are in need of another 

 boiler, we will give the Kroeschell the first consideration." 



(Signed) WM. W. EDGAR CO., Waverley. Mass. 



The KROESCHELL has replaced hundreds of cast iron boilers. 

 In every case higher temperatures are secured with the KROE- 

 SCHELL with the same piping and with less fuel. 

 The KROESCHELL is making the most wonderful greenhouse 

 heating record in the world. Our boilers were installed to heat 

 2,304,450 sq. ft. glass in 1914. Florists who have used other 

 makes are constantly giving the KROESCHELL the highest praise. 



THAT CONTENTED FEELING 



When the KROESCHELL is on duty, your mind is at ease. The 

 longer you have it the more you believe in it. THE KROE- 

 SCHELL IS ITS OWN BEST REASON.
