on the plates. For the coils we would 

 use five 114 -inch returns in each house, 

 unless the south wall of the south house 

 is exposed or of light construction, in 

 which case an additional pipe may be 

 placed on the south wall. The returns 

 may be arranged on the walls in two 

 coils of two or three pipes each, unless 

 bottom heat is desired under raised 

 benches, in which case two pipes may 

 be placed under each bench. Connect 

 each coil with the return main at the 

 east end of the houses, using a 1^4 -inch 

 pipe to carry the drip from the first 

 house and increasing to 1%-inch after 

 the second house has been connected. 



For the other four houses, start at the 

 boiler with a 4-inch main, and after 

 entering the first house take off a 2%- 

 inch supply pipe for that house. Carry 

 the main into the house 37x125, after 

 reducing it to 3^-inch. In this house, 

 after taking oil a 2-inch main to supply

Stop that Slug-

You CAN EASILY do it! Hundreds of other 

 florists— sick of the never-ending bother of 

 antiquated steam pumps— have solved the sluggish 

 circulation problem permanently with the 



Big representative concerns like the Minneapolis 

 Floral Company, the Memphis Floral Company, the 

 Pittsburgh Floral Company, etc., etc., now drain 

 their steam lines and return the pure hot conden- 

 sation immediately to the boilers as feed water 

 with the Morehead System. 

 Quickly and easily attached to your present appar- 

 atus, the Morehead System gives you absolute con- 

 trol of the temperature in every foot of your houses 

 —and soon pays for itself in the saving of fuel. 

 Tell us about your present heating troubles— our 

 engineers will give you expert information on ex- 

 actly what you may expect the Morehead System 

 to do for you— and send you a book which covers

 carry the main through the house under 

 the ridge and then into the potting shed. 

 After taking ofE a 2-inch feed to supply 

 the middle coUs in the house 37x125, 

 run it along the ends of the two north 

 greenhouses and take off a 2-inch and a 

 214 -inch main, respectively, to supply 

 the coils in each of the other houses. 

 In the house 35x125, run a 2-inch flow 

 upon each plate and with it supply nine 

 or ten 1^4 -inch returns. 



In the house 37x125, it will be noted 

 that we have provided a 2-inch flow to 

 supply the wall coils, besides running 

 the 3-inch flow to the other two houses 

 under the ridge and taking ofiE a 2-inch 

 flow from this at the west end to sup- 

 ply the coils in the middle of the house. 

 We would run a 1%-inch main on each 

 plate, and connect each of these vnth a
