in the sketch. One trap will answer for 

 both houses, and this should be able to 

 handle the water from 1,000 square feet 

 of radiation. 



For piping the south house for roses, 

 we would suggest the use of two 2-ineh 

 overhead flow pipes and eight 1^/4 -inch 

 returns, although six 2-inch returns 

 might be used. In the other house, 

 which is to be used for carnations, two 

 2-inch flow pipes and six 1^-inch or 

 four 2-inch returns might be used. The 

 returns on the north and south walls 

 should be extended through the lean-tos 

 on their respective sides. The flow pipes 

 should be carried upon the purlins, 

 which are probably located about half- 

 way between the ridge and the gutters 

 in each of the houses. 



If the south side of the rose house is 

 at all exposed to cold winds, it would 

 be well to use five of the eight returns 

 on the south wall, or put in an extra 

 return. The other returns should be on

CRUDE OIL OE NATURAL QAS? 



At present we are burning crude oil 

 under our boilers. The oil has a specific 

 gravity of 16 and costs 70 cents per 

 barrel of forty-two gallons. The looal 

 company wishes us to change to nat- 

 ural gas. "What price should be paid for 

 natural gas, to be equivalent to the cost 

 of the oil? W. A. & C— Cal. 



We would not care to pay more than 

 15 cents per thousand feet for natural 

 gas, considering the price for which
