Creenhonse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Beview to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the bes^ in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



FREIGHT RATES ON COAL. 



Tlio Su])renie court of tlio United 

 States having decided that a train crew 

 hauling coal is entitled to ten hours' 

 pay for eight hours ' work, the railroads 

 are coming back at the public, beginning 

 with the consumers of smokeless coal, 

 who include many florists. 



Proposals to increase rates on bitumi- 

 nous coal from Virginia and West Vir- 

 ginia fields to the Atlantic seaboard 

 from 5 to 10 cents a ton, and from 

 fields in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir- 

 ginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Ken- 

 tucky to New York, Philadelphia and 

 Baltimore about 5 cents a ton, have 

 been filed by the railroads with the 

 Interstate Commerce Commission. The 

 railroads also have notified the commis- 

 sion of their intention to advance coal 

 rates to great lake ports from 5 to 15 

 cents a ton. The advances would become 

 effective between April 1 and April 16. 

 The proposed increases probably will be 

 suspended for investigation after a hear- 

 ing by the commission March 22. 



USE IVa-INCH OR 2-INCH PIPE. 



Please tell me how to pipe my green 

 house. It is 18x30 and runs north and 

 south. The north end has no glass. The 

 other end and both sides are boarded 

 and papered from the ground to a 

 height of three feet. Above this there 

 are two and one-half feet of glass in 

 tlie sides, making the total heiglit of 

 the walls five and one-half feet to the 

 eaves. The south end is glass from the 

 3-foot board wajl to the ridge, which is 

 nine and ono-hhlf feet from the floor. 

 The boiler pit iWoven feet deep and is 

 at the north end of the house. There 

 is a building, 10x18, at the north end 

 of the house. There will be four 

 benches in the greenhouse, running 

 north and south. 



How much piping will be needed? 

 What size of pipe should be used and 

 what size of hot water boiler will be 

 required? Would it be of any benefit to 

 run the smoke flue from the boiler to 

 the south end of the house, to the chim- 

 ney? The outside temperature here is 

 occasionally 5 degrees below zero, and 

 once in a good while it drops to 30 de- 

 grees below. F. H. W.— N. Y. 



For the house described, a boiler with 

 a rating of about 400 square feet will 

 be required for a temperature of 60 de- 

 grees. To supply the radiation we
