beds. The above is for a temperature 

 of 60 degrees, while if only 50 degrees 

 is required in zero weather, only ten 

 1%-inch returns will be required for 

 the house described. While a somewhat 

 smaller boiler might be used to heat two 

 houses to 60 degrees, we suggest that a 

 boiler with a rating of fifty horsepower 

 be installed. 



To heat the house with hot water the 

 boiler should be of the same size, and 

 we suggest the use of five 2i4-ineh flow" 

 pipes, instead of two 5-inch flows. From 

 sixteen to eighteen 2-inch returns will 

 be required for 60 degrees and ten to 

 twelve returns for 50 degrees. The dis- 

 tribution of the pipes will be about the 

 same as for steam, except that in addi- 

 tion to running a flow pipe upon each 

 purlin there should be one flow on each 

 side wall plate and the fifth flow might 

 be two or three feet below the ridge. 



In case there is to be no glass in the 

 side walls, one less return may be used 

 on each side, while if there is four feet 

 or more of glass in each of the walls, 

 one additional return on each side will 

 be required. 



SEPABATE BOTTOM HEAT. 



My house is seventy-five feet long 

 *by ten feet wide. The boiler is about 

 fifty-five feet from the greenhouse. I 

 have some beds under the benches for 

 forcing valley, as well as above the 

 benches. I want to keep the tempera- 

 ture in these up to 70 degrees, even if 

 it is 10 degrees below zero outside. 

 Then I have propagating benches on the 

 north and south sides of the house. 

 How many feet of 1-inch pipe will be 

 needed for each of these two benches in 

 order to maintain 70 degrcest Or would 

 you advise l^^-inch pipe here?

A 2-inch main from the boiler will be 

 amply large to supply the radintion in a 

 greenhouse 10x75 feet. The main could 

 enter the house about three feet below 

 the ridge. To supply heat for the house 

 itself, it might be well to run two I'/t- 

 inch pipes on the north wall and one on 

 the south wall. These may be connected 

 with the main inlet pipe at the end of 

 the house nearest the boiler and with 

 the two return mains on the side walls 

 at the other end. For supplying bottom 

 heat for the propagating beds and the 

 valley forcing beds, it would be well to 

 run two 1-inch pipes under each half 

 of the center bed, using four pipes in 

 all. If, as we understand it, these beds 

 should be piped so that they may be 

 heated independently, it would be better 

 to reduce the main flow pipe to IM*- 

 inch piping and run it to the point 

 where the propagating bed ends, here 



ean Boiler 



It may be yours always by the daily 

 injection of a quart of 



CALINE 



"A quart a day keeps the scale away," Mac will 

 tell you, and he knows. 



The worst incrusted boiler yields to SCALINE, the 

 little giant that works its way through the scale to 

 the boiler metal and there adheres, forcing the 

 Ask Mac— he knows gj,^jg away. The thin film SCALINF leaves on 



the boiler surface let* heat through, but prevents the formation of new scale. 



No turbining of boiler tubes, no pitting of boiler walls, when SCALINE is used.
