The Florists' Review 



Mabch 15, 1917. 



In addition to one 2i/A-inch flow upon 

 each plate, we would run another two 

 or three feet below the ridge and would 

 place the others under the purlins. Each 

 house will also require fifteen 2-inch 

 returns. Three of these should be con- 

 nected with each of the flow pipes. 

 Coils of three pipes each should be under 

 the side benches, with four or five re- 

 turns under the other benches. In case 

 li^-inch returns are used in the house 

 26x100, it will answer if four 2i/^-inch 

 flows and twenty returns are installed. 

 It will simplify matters if the flow 

 pipes as well as the returns are given 

 a slight fall, and if the expansion tank 

 is connected with the highest part of 

 the system. 



ONE HOUSE NOW, ANOTHER SOON. 



Please describe the correct way of 

 piping a greenhouse 30x154, a sketch of 

 which I am enclosing. I shall use a 

 Moninger steam boiler, placing it at the 

 north end of the house. There is a 3- 

 foot concrete wall at the sides and the 

 south end. The height to the ridge is 

 ten feet. The side walls are five feet 

 high, having two feet of glass above 

 the concrete. The house is exposed to 

 the winds on all sides. What size of 

 boiler will be needed for two houses 

 of these dimensions? J, K. — 111. 



To heat a greenhouse 30x154, with 

 two feet of glass in each side wall, to 

 60 degrees, using low pressure steam, 

 we would suggest the use of about 1,000 

 square feet of radiation. This may be 

 obtained either by running a 214-inch 

 overhead main about three feet below 

 the ridge or by using three l^^-inch 

 flow pipes, placing one on each plate 

 and the other under the ridge. In addi- 

 tion we would use fourteen l^^-inch re- 

 turns, placing four under each of the 

 side benches or on the side walls and 

 the others under the middle benches. 



While this will only furnish 1,000 

 square feet of radiation for one house, 

 we would prefer to have the boiler 

 show a rating of 2,400 square feet for 

 the two houses. 



Quincy, 111.— Shortly after the Easter 

 business F. W. Heckenkamp, Jr., expects 

 to remodel and enlarge his store to the 

 tune of $5,000. The adjoining store- 

 room will be added to the present room. 

 Flower and vegetable seeds will be 

 stocked. Business in Quincy has been 

 good during the winter and prospects for 

 good spring sales are excellent.

Your Best Friend! 



The Standard Thermostat 



is the best business partner and 

 friend you can have. It protects 

 your growing things from ruin by 

 sudden changes in temperatures. It 

 is infallible, inexpensive— more re- 

 liable than a night fireman. 

 The Standard Thermostat will 

 ring a bell whenever your green- 

 house temperature rises or falls to 

 the danger point. Place the bell 

 at your bedside or anywhere you 

 please. 



This is a word to the wise— a buy 



word to the wise grower. Sudden 



temperature ups and downs ruin 



thousands of plants every year. 



Protect yours! Install a Standard 



Thermostat now. It costs only 



$10.00. Write today.
