is five feet three inches wide and is six- 

 teen inches from the ground. The side 

 benches are two feet six mg^ea wide 

 and eighteen inches from fae ground. 

 The benches are eight inches deep. 



I have a 9-horsepower boiler. I also 

 have 400 feet of 3-inch pi^ and 400 

 feet of 1-inch pipe. I thought of put- 

 ting the boiler at the northwest corner 

 of the house. I want one house for car- 

 nations and the other for snapdragons 

 and other plants that will grow at the 

 same time. There is no partition be- 

 tween the houses. In this part of north- 

 ern California the outside temperature 

 in the winter is about 35 to 40 degrees 

 at night, and about 60 to 70 degrees in 

 the daytime. Sometimes we have colder 

 spells, with temperatures as low as 27 

 degrees above zero, but tliat does not 

 happen often. I thought of burning 

 wood in the boiler. T." E. F.— Cal. 



The 1-inch pipe is rather small for 

 use in a greenhouse sixty feet in length, 

 unless the boiler can be located at least 

 five feet below the returns. In the 

 present case there is sufficient 3-inch 

 pipe to provide the radiation needed, 

 and there will be no occasion for using 

 the 1-inch pipe except to connect with 

 the expansion tank. 



While we would prefer to use for 

 each house a 2%-inch flow pipe under 

 the ridge, with a 2-inch return under 

 each of the side benches and two returns 

 under the middle bench, good results 

 may be obtained by running one 3-inch 

 flow under the ridge in each house and 

 placing a 3-inch return under each of 

 the side benches. Give the flow pipes 

 as well as the returns a slope of one 

 inch in fifteen feet, and connect the 

 highest point in each flow pipe with a 

 10-gallon expansion tank. 



The two insertions sold everything I 

 had. — H. M. Morris, Rantoul, 111.
