Greenhouse Heating. 



- Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Review to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of it? adaptation.

HOUSES ON DITFERENT IiEVELS. 



I have two greenhouses, one 18x50 

 and the other 15x45, and am about to 

 install the boiler. A sketch of the 

 houses is enclosed. Will you kindly tell 

 me how to plan the construction so I 

 can add another house if necessary, 

 possibly south of the present houses, 

 where the dotted lines appear on the 

 sketch? I wish to grow carnations and 

 mixed stock for a retail trade. The 

 carnations will probably be planted in 

 the north house. What size of boiler is 

 needed! Please state the right size and 

 arrangement of the pipes. 



M. E. R.— Mich, 



The sketch shows that the two houses 

 run east and w:est, with the south house 

 three feet lower than the other. The 

 third house, the construction of which 

 is proposed, will extend to the south 

 from the east end of the present south 

 house. 



There is a chimney at the northeast 

 corner of the north house and we are 

 asked whether we should place the 

 boiler at the east end of the south 

 house, using the present chimney, or 

 place both chimney and boiler at the 

 west end of the south house". The slope 

 of the land makes it necessary to place 

 the boiler at one end of the south house, 

 and if the chimney at the end of the 

 north house is of the proper size we 

 would arrange to use it. The boiler 

 should be either in a basement or a 

 room partitioned oflf from the green- 

 house. 



If a temperature of 50 to 55 de- 

 grees is to be maintained, we would 

 use a boiler rated for 600 square feet 

 of radiation for the present two houses, 

 In case the third house mentioned will 

 be about the same size and is to be 

 heated to 60 degrees, the boiler for the 

 Ihree houses will require a rating for 

 1,000 square feet of radiation. For the 

 north house we would run a 2%-inch 

 main under the ridge, and connect it at 

 the farther end of the house with ten 

 2-inch returns. Five of these may be
