it is unsatisfactory; I cannot get it in- 

 stalled so it will keep the pipes hot 

 more than two or three hours at a time. 

 L. H. C— 111. 



Not over 500 square feet of radiation 

 should be needed for heating a green- 

 house of the dimensions stated, to 60 

 / degrees, and a boiler rated at a capacity 

 of 650 to 700 square feet should be 

 ample. We do not recall the capacity 

 of the different sizes of Wilks boilers, 

 but one with a grate 34x48 inches is 

 certainly three or four times as large 

 as is needed. In case additions of con- 

 siderable size are soon to be made, the 

 boiler described might be installed and 

 used with a fair degree of economy if 

 about one-half of the grate bars are 

 disconnected and the size of the grate 

 is reduced by means of fire brick. 



We would locate the boiler so that it 

 will be below the level of the returns 

 and we would then run two 2% -inch 

 flow pipes either on the plates or just 

 under the purlins, preferably the lat- 

 ter. For returns we would use thirteen 

 1%-inch pipes, placing seven on the 

 south wall and six on the north wall.
