Address Dept. 6 



inches high, composed of a double thick- 

 ness of drop siding with a thickness of 

 the heaviest tar paper on the market 

 between them. This wall is banked to 

 the eaves with clay. On account of 

 the low roof, a path has been sunk be- 

 tween the benches. The east end of the 

 house above the 18-inch wall will be 

 glass and the front six feet of the west 

 end will be glass. The other part of the 

 west side will contain the door. 



I have a hot water boiler, rated for 

 600 feet of radiation, which I should like 

 to use. This can be installed in the 

 basement of my residence twelve feet 

 from the west wall of the greenhouse 

 and four feet from the north side of the 

 house. I want to run a coil of six 

 1%-inch pipes the full length of the 

 house, under a bench sixteen inches 

 from the ground, and a coil of three 

 pipes along the bank of the path, as the 

 bench nearest the front of the house is 

 80 low. Will that be enough radiation 

 and what size of flow pipes is best to 

 use! Also what is the best method of 

 connecting? The boiler has two open- 

 ings for feed pipes and one for a return.

Although the boiler is nearly three 

 times as large as is necessary to heat the 

 proposed greenhouse, it may be used 

 with a fair degree of fuel economy if 

 careful attention is given to the firing. 



I should suggest the use of two 2M.'- 

 inch flow pipes, running one on the wall 

 of the residence just below the gutter 

 of the greenhouse, and the other on 

 the purlin posts near the glass about 

 halfway between the gutter and the 

 ridge on the south slope of the house. 

 These two flow pipes with nine 1%-inch 

 returns would, if properly distributed, 

 heat the house to 55 degrees when it is 

 15 to 20 degrees below zero outside.

WHAT would happen if your night 

 man fell asleep some night in 

 zero weather? What if you should 

 oversleep, or a cold wave hii your green- 

 house when your heat is at the min- 

 imum? It would mean ruin to your 

 plants -possi bly ruin to you.
