feet of radiation. The coils drop sliglit- 

 ly toward the boiler. The coil at the 

 north wall consists of six I'l.-inch 

 pipes; the center coil has four lil'-inch 

 pipes and the south coil has six such 

 pipes. All the coils are about eighty- 

 one feet long and they run into a ii-inch 

 main, which branches into two ojjenings 

 at the lower end of the boiler. The boil- 

 er is set in a 2-foot pit. There is a %- 

 inch pipe from the main return to the 

 expansion tank, which is three feet 

 above the highest ])oint. The chimney 

 is about sixteen feet liigh and has a 1 fl- 

 inch Hue. Each of the Hows has an air 

 cock at the highest point. 



The temperature should be 60 to 6.1 

 degrees when the outside temperature 

 is 10 degrees below zero. On several 

 occasions I have been nearly frozen out, 

 when the thermometers outdoors indi- 

 cated 14 to 1(5 degrees below zero. The 

 highest temperature I could kee}) was 

 35 degrees, or just above freezing. Is 

 there enough pi])ing in the house? 

 Which is the better system, uphill or 

 downhill, as far as fuel or circulation is 

 concerned.' For some unknown reason, 

 I have never been able to get the tiier- 

 mometer at the boiler to register over 

 200 degrees. C. F. C— 111. 



So far as can be judged from the 

 data furnished, there is no one thing 

 to Avhich the difiiculty in heating the 

 greenhouse can be ascribed. Although 

 200 degrees is a fair working tempera- 

 ture for the water in tlie boiler, there 

 should ])e no difiiculty in l)ringing it to 

 the boiling i»oint if the attempt is made. 

 The fact that a boiler .36x48 inches will 

 not bring the water above 200 degrees, 

 when tiiere is less than !»U0 s(|uare feet 

 of radiation, indicates that there is 

 something wrong either in the firing or 

 with the draft from the boiler. While 

 a chimney ten inches in diameter and 

 sixteen feet high should answer for the 

 foregoing radiation, it is possible that, 

 owing to the character of the surround- 

 ings, a height of twenty-four feet 

 would be iu)ne too much, especially as 

 the boiler is considerably larger tiian 

 necessary for the radiation. 



On the other hand, if a temperature 

 of 60 degrees is to be maintained, we 

 would use at least 100 square feet of 

 radiation in addition to what is listed, 

 unless a closed system is used, and noth- 

 ing will be gained in ])laciiig the water
