will De exposed, Eaised benches will 

 be used in this house. 



The south house will be 23x60, five 

 and one-half feet high to the gutter and 

 fourteen feet high to the ridge. The 

 east end, three and one-half feet of 

 which will be boards and the balance 

 glass, will be exposed. The ^ west end 

 will be protected by a workroom, which 

 will be built over a boiler cellar seven 

 feet deep. The south wall will be 

 boarded to a height of three and one- 

 half feet; the other two feet will be 

 glass. In this house there will be a 

 raised bench on each side and two solid 

 beds in the center. 



The two houses will be separated by 

 a partition composed of three and one- 

 half feet of glass and two feet of 

 boards. Please state the size and num- 

 ber of pipes that will be needed and 

 the proper size of boiler. However, I 

 wish to get a boiler large enough to care 

 for two and one-half times the amount 

 of glass in the ^wo houses I have de- 

 scribed. T. C. A.— Pa. 



For the smaller house we would sug- 

 gest the use of one 2 V^ -inch flow pipe, 

 carried three or four feet below the 

 ridge, and six 2-inch return pipes, plac- 

 ing three pipes on each of the side walls 

 or under the side benches. In order to 

 make the connections with the side 

 coils, we would suggest dropping down 

 a 2-inch pipe on each side of the door at 

 the east end of the house, starting the 

 coils at the door and running them to 

 the corners of the house and then along 

 the side walls. 



For the wider house we would run 

 two 2%-inch pipes below the ridge and 

 connect one of them at the east end of 

 the house with seven 2-inch returns on 

 the south wall or under the bench, con- 

 necting the other flow with six 2-inch

returns for the other side of the house. 

 These returns also should start on either 

 side of the door and follow around the 

 end and side of the house to the boiler 

 end, where the coils on each wall should 

 be united in a 2-inch pipe and connected 

 with the heater. 



By running the flow pipes with a fall 

 of one inch in ten feet there will be no 

 occasion for using air valves, provided 

 the highest point in each of the flow 

 pipes is connected with the expansion 

 tank. The two houses will require about 

 1,000 square feet of radiation, and for 

 two and one-half times as muc*h glass we 

 would use a boiler rated for 3,000 square 

 feet. 



BEGINlONa A NEW RANGE. 



As I am a beginner and am building, 

 I shall be greatly obliged for any in- 

 formation you can give me in regard 

 to the piping for hot water. At present 

 I am erecting two houses, constructing 

 them of hotbed sashes. These houses 

 are each 9x40 and seven and one-half 

 feet high to the peak. They are con- 

 nected and run east and west. The 

 north wall is four feet high and en- 

 tirely of concrete; the south wall con- 

 sists of two feet of concrete and two 

 feet of glass. The houses are protected 

 at the west end and ha^f *f the north 

 side by a brick building. • I intend to 

 grow geraniums and so shall not need a 

 high night tempe^atQre, but th^ outside

temperature here often drops to 10 de- 

 grees below zero. This year I expect 

 to heat from the residence boiler, which 

 is at the west end of the houses, but 

 next year I shall build a boiler room at 

 the east end and heat from that. 



How many flows and returns will be 

 required in each house and what would 

 be the best arrangement of the piping 

 for this yeart The benches will be 

 three feet high and three and one-half 

 feet wide. What size of boiler would 

 you advise for next yeart I intend to 

 keep on building. In that case, would 

 you advise a large boiler to start with, 

 so as not to have to buy each yearf 

 Next year I expect to build one new
