The side wall plates are at the top of 

 the side walls and carry the ends of the 

 rafters or sashbars. 



If the method outlined for joining the 

 main with the side flows is followed, 

 these pipes would run nearly parallel 

 with the roof sashbars. However, any 

 way by which the main flow pipe can be 

 connected with the flows on the plates 

 without blocking the walls may be used. 



The lengthening of the house will not 

 require any change in the arrangement 

 of the heating pipes. 



USINQ TBACTION BOILER. 



With this I am sending a plan of my 

 greenhouses, which I wish to heat with 

 hot water. Please tell me where the 

 pipes should be located, how large they 

 should be for flow and returns and how 

 many and where the valves should be to 

 regulate the heat. The middle house is 

 to grow flowers and tender vegetable 

 plants and the end houses are to grow 

 lettuce, cabbage and the cooler-grown 

 plants. Once in a while the temperature 

 here reaches 10 or 15 degrees below 

 zero. 



I have a large traction engine boiler 

 that I can use. Will it do for these 

 houses! Where should the taps, both 

 lead and return, be made in itf Should 

 one be made in the dome? How large 

 Jiould it bef How large an expansion 

 tank shall I need for thist 



E. B.— Ind. 



From the sketch it is learned that the 

 two houses which are to be for lettuce 

 and other cool crops are 24x76 and 24x56 

 feet respectively, while the middle 

 house, which is to be for more tender 

 plants, is 25x46 feet, but only one-half 

 of the side walls of this house is ex- 

 posed. The exposed portions of the 

 walls of this house and the south walls 

 of the other houses have twelve inches 

 of concrete and thirty inches of glass. 

 The north walls are of boards covered 

 with felt roofing, with Beaver board on 

 the inside of a 4-inch air-space. To 

 heat the cool houses, run one 2V^-inch 

 flow pipe on each side wall, with eleven 

 2-inch returns underneath. Six returns 

 will be required on the south wall and 

 five on the north side. 



To heat the warmer house, run a 3- 

 inch flow pipe overhead to the south 

 end of the house and, from the middle 

 of the end of the house, run a coil of 

 five 2-lnch returns in each direction 

 around to the north end of the house. 

 No doors are shown by the sketch in 

 any of the houses, but, if there are
