middle house. For returns use ten 1^- 

 inch pipes in the middle house and 

 eight 1^-inch pipes in each of the 

 other houses. Two of the returns 

 should be upon each wall and the others 

 distributed under the benches. The 

 boiler described would surely deserve a 

 rating of fourteen or fifteen horse- 

 power, and would heat the three houses 

 in mild weather. The addition of an- 

 other boiler of the same size would 

 provide all of the heat required when 

 the outside temperature is 10 degrees 

 below zero. 



PIPING TWO LETTUCE HOUSES. 



Enclosed you will find a sketch of 

 my two greenhouses, as they will be 

 after they are rebuilt. As you will see, 

 they run east and west. The boiler 

 room, at the northeast corner, is twen- 

 ty-six feet long, cutting that number 

 o^ feet off the length of the north 

 house. I expect to heat with steam 

 and to burn slack coal. Will you please 

 tell me how to pipe these houses for a 

 gravity system, so as to hold the tem- 

 perature at 55 degrees in zero weather! 

 I shall use solid, ground beds. Lettuce 

 will be grown. How large a firebox 

 boiler will it be advisable to purchase, 

 so I shall not have to fire up too often 

 and so I can add another house, 25x140, 

 if I wisht Will 1-inch returns be satis- 

 factory! S. W. 



The sketch shows one house 29x130 

 and twelve feet high to the ridge, with 

 two feet of glass and two feet of con- 

 crete in the south wall. The other 

 house, which adjoins, is 18x104. The 

 north wall is of wood and the space be- 

 tween the houses, under the common 

 gutter, is open. 



We prefer to use 1 14-inch pipe for 

 the returns when they are more than 

 100 feet long, but 1-inch pipe may be 

 used in these houses. For 55 degrees 

 we would use in the larger house one 2- 

 inch flow pipe upon each of the wall 

 plates and either eight li/4-inch or 

 eleven 1-inch returns for the coils. 

 These may be placed on the side walls, 

 or two or three of the returns may be 

 in the center walk. For the house 

 18x104 use a li^-inch flow upon each 

 plate and three 1-inch returns in each 

 of the wall coils. 



For economy in the care of a boiler 

 for heating the three houses described, 

 it should have a rating of at least twen- 

 ty-five horsepower, with sixteen square 

 feet of grate. The chimney flue should 

 be about sixteen inches square and 

 thirty-five feet in height.
