The Florists^ Review 



AOGOST 9, 1917. 



In case there is a raised bench in the 

 center of the house, we would use three 

 2-inch flows, placing the third flow 

 under the ridge. With three flows, only 

 twelve returns will be needed, in three 

 coils of four pipes each, on the walls 

 and under the middle bench. 



IS PEESENT PIPING ADEQUATE? 



I have a range of greenhouses 100 

 feet in length, with a total width of 

 seventy feet. There are two main feed 

 pipes, each 5-inch, from an SO-horse- 

 power boiler, and there are also two 

 5-inch returns to the boiler. Connected 

 to the main header pipe are ten 2% -inch 

 flows, feeding about forty 2-inch returns. 

 Are there enough feed pipes from the 

 boiler and enough main returns? Would 

 it save much fuel to have more openings 

 made in the boiler for flows and returns! 

 The gralje of the boiler is 3x4 feet. The 

 boiler tubes are 3-inch and are ten feet 

 long, A. R. S. — Mont. 



The data furnished do not cover the 

 temperature desired in the houses, the 

 amount of glass in the roofs and sides, 

 or the number of tubes in the boiler, but 

 a 25-horsepower boiler would undoubt- 

 edly heat the houses. 



If a temperature of 60 degrees will 

 answer, we would consider that the 

 forty 2-inch returns, in addition to the 

 main flow pipes, would suffice. With 

 houses about fifteen feet in width and 

 100 feet in length, we would prefer to 

 run a 2^ -inch flow on each plate, but 

 good results should be secured with the 

 arrangement described, provided the 

 return pipes are well above the top of 

 the boiler. 



North Warren, Pa. — Victor Offerlee is 

 erecting a greenhouse establishment 

 next to Hygia Hall. The location is 

 excellent and as Mr. Oflferlee will have a 

 modern place, its success is assured.
