The Florists'" Review

jifhen it is needed most. Care should be 

 'iiaken, therefore, to provide thermostats 

 to give the alarm in the case of falling 

 temperature in the houses, due to a 

 cheek in the flow, which might result in 

 the fire under the boiler going out 

 entirely. 



FOB OABNATIONS AND MOMS. 



I am about to build a greenhouse and 

 should like to get some advice about 

 the heating of it. Hot water heat will 

 be used. The house will be 22x100 and 

 of pipe-frame construction, .with wooden 

 gutters. It will be fourteen feet high 

 to the ridge and seven and one-half feet 

 high to the eaves. There will be four 

 feet of glass in the side walls, with 

 wood below the glass. The boiler shed 

 will be at the north side of the house. 

 Both gables will be glass. There will 

 be two 5-foot solid beds and one 5-foot 

 raised bench. The raised bench will 

 be in the center,, the two side beds may 

 be raised later. How many flows and 

 how many 2-inch returns will be needed 

 to maintain a temperature of 50 to 55 

 degrees in zero weather? The house 

 is to be used for carnations and chrys- 

 anthemums. A. J. M. — ^Mich. 



A house 22x100, with four feet of 

 glass in ^aeh of the side walls, can be 

 heated to 55 degrees in zero weather 

 with hot wate» by using three 214-inch 

 flow pipes and eleven 2-inch returns. 

 We would carry one flow pipe upon each 

 plate and the other three feet below the 

 ridge. The wall coils would have four 

 pipes each, and there would be three 

 pipes under the middle bench. Each coil 

 should be connected with the boiler by 

 means of a 2%-inch main return pipe. 

 Carry the main flow pipes with a slight 

 fall and connect the highest point of 

 each flow pipe with the expansion tank. 



CONSTKUCTION AND HEATING. 



. What will be the necessary hot water 

 piping for a greenhouse 20x75! The 

 north end will be attached to the boiler 

 room and will be boarded up solidly. 

 The side walls will be double boarded 

 to a height of three feet, with building 

 paper between. Above the board wall 

 there will be one foot of glass, making 

 the total height of the side walls four 

 feet. The height of the ridge will be 

 from ten to twelve feet; please suggest 

 the right height. The boiler is five feet 

 below the surface of the ground. The 

 expansion tank can be placed in the 

 boiler room and can be well elevated. 

 We shall use solid beds and grow let- 

 tuce principally. Sometimes in Feb- 

 ruary the outside temperature here drops 

 to 20 degrees below zero. I have a 

 good supply of 1%-inch and 2-inch pipe, 

 and also seventy-five feet of the 3-inch 

 size. J. S.— N. Y. 



For piping the house we would advise 

 the use of the 3-inch pipe as a flow and 

 would place it two or three feet below 

 the ridge. At the end of the house con- 

 nect this pipe with a coil on each side 

 wall, using 2%-inch pipes for the pur- 

 pose. Each of these coils should con- 

 tain five 2-inch return pipes. Instead 

 of having only one foot of glass in each 

 side wall, we would advise the use of 

 not less than thirty inches of glass, and 

 we would then make the side walls five 

 and one-half feet high. We would then 

 locate the ridge at a height of twelve 

 feet, although ten feet will answer if 

 the walls are only four feet high.
