UP-TO-DATE GREENHOUSES 



must be lasting, convenient and efficient. They must be constructed 

 in accordance with the principles which have been approved by knowl- 

 edge and experience. We have been in the greenhouse manufacturing 

 business for many years and our experience is at your disposal. 



Our patent LEAK-PROOF locked gutter has proven a success. If 

 you are not using the same as yet, do so on your next houses and we 

 know we can add your name to our list of satisfied customers.

sent will show the general arrangement 

 of the houses, looking from the south. 

 You will understand that the house at 

 the left had just been built before 

 the late spring snow and has not yet 

 been heated; the same is true of the 

 south end of the house at the right 

 and also of the narrow house not shown 

 in the picture, which we are now erect- 

 ing farther to the right. 



In deciding the best policy for the 

 future we must especially consider the 

 efficiency of future operation, cost of 

 immediate extensions of heating pipes 

 shown by the red lines, and the possible 

 future cost in case we doubled the whole 

 plant. Also the present size of the 

 mains must be considered, the necessary 

 changes in them that are required for 

 either extension, as well as the fact that 

 the little boiler is good for a few years 

 for hot water heat, but not for steam, 

 whereas the big boiler is good for either, 

 and if the system is changed to steam 

 the big boiler would probably carry 

 the whole plant easily alone. 



Our experience with heating systems 

 has been largely limited to this one; 

 observations in various other green- 

 houses; a study of what William Scott 

 offers on heating in his Florists ' Manual, 

 and tables which give proper size of 

 flows for hot water and steam, as well 

 as the amount of radiation per square 

 foot of glass. We have avoided going 

 into further details of the system for 

 the reason that if hot water is continued 

 we will continue along a similar line 

 to what we now have, simply extending 

 it. If steam is decided upon we will 

 take up the study anew, using as much 

 of the present equipment as possible.

We hardly know what to advise in 

 this case. It has been fairly presented. 

 It is unquestionable that piping a green- 

 house for steam will cost but little more 

 than one-half as much as when hot 

 water piping is installed, so far as the 

 price of the material is concerned, and 

 if additional houses are to be construct- 

 ed so that there will be a range of 20,- 

 000 square feet of glass or more, it is 

 advised that the change be made at this 

 time. It will not only be possible to 

 use the pipes from the present houses 

 for mains in the new houses, but they 

 may be used as return pipes. 



It should be stated that the fuel cost 

 with steam heat is likely to be nearly 

 twenty-five per cent more than with hot 

 water, although some of this may be 

 saved by being able, with a night firc-
