the center of the north side of the 

 range, running mains through the cen- 

 ter, taking off coils at the center of 

 each house and running these to the 

 walls. J. P.— 111. 



While the boiler may be located at the 

 middle of the north side of the range, as 

 proposed, we would prefer to locate it 

 near a corner at the north side of the 

 range. Unless the location is about 

 level, it would be desirable to have the 

 boiler house at the lower end of the 

 greenhouse, in order to get a better 

 fall for the return water. 



It is not stated whether steam or hot 

 water is to be used for heating. While 

 the mains will be larger than will be 

 necessary for use with steam, we would 

 prefer to have two 5-inch flows for hot 

 water. If hot water is to be used, we 

 would advise that the smaller flow pipe 

 be enlarged to 5-inch at some point near 

 the boiler. The returns should be of 

 the same size as the flow pipes. Each of 

 the hot water flows should be used to 

 supply three of the houses. In the 20- 

 foot houses we would run a 2Vj-inch 

 flow on each plate, with four IVi-inch 

 returns on each wall underneath, ex- 

 cept in the outside house, which has 

 four feet of glass in the wall; in this 

 house two additional returns should be 

 run on the outer wall. In the 26-foot 

 house, which also, as we understand it,
