The Florists^ Review 



May 24, 1917. 



is one per cent of the cubic contents, 

 or a total of seventy-i'our square feet 

 of radiation. For sleeping rooms of 

 the same size, about fifty feet of radi- 

 ation will answer in a well built frame 

 house. In a poorly built house, the 

 radiation might range from eighty to 

 ninety feet for 70 degrees, and from 

 fifty-five to sixty-four feet for 60 de- 

 grees. Even these figures should bo 

 slightly increased if the location is 

 much exposed, or if the outside temper- 

 ature drops to 20 degrees below zero 

 or lower for a number of days each win- 

 ter. When the low temperatures last 

 but a few days, a little heavier firing 

 will keep up the heat. 



In determining the size of the main 

 flow and return pipes — which, by the 

 way, should be of the same size — if 

 the radiation is less than 250 square 

 feet, 2-inch pipe may be used; for 250 

 to 400 feet we would advise the use 

 of 2M>-inch; from 400 to 700, 3-inch 

 is suggested, and 4-inch will answer 

 for 700 to 1,400 square feet of radi- 

 ation. The amount of radiation in the 

 surface of the mains should also be 

 taken into account, unless they are well 

 insulated, and even then some account 

 should be made of it, if they are extra 

 long. The foregoing estimate is for 

 use in cases where the radiators are 

 at least two feet above the top of 

 the boiler. 



Unless a radiator is quite small and 

 only a sliort distance from the main, 

 we would not use less than li4-inch 

 pipes for the feed and return pipes. 

 For radiators up to sixty square feet 

 we would use li4-inch pipes for the 

 supply and return pipes, and above that 

 lVL>-inch up to 150 square feet of radia- 

 tion. For radiators on the second floor, 

 as well as tliose on the first floor that are 

 quite near the main, or where they are 

 five or six feet above the top of the 

 boiler, the amount that may be supplied 

 witli IVi-inch and l^/^-inch pipes may 

 be increased twenty-five per cent. 



Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — II. W. Pierce is 

 growing a number of Fordhook bush 

 Lima beans, two in each 3-inch pot, 

 the idea being to take advantage of 

 the late season. He had the pots idle 

 and believes the crop will be a good 

 experiment.
