TO USE— 



ELASTIC HRE BRICK 



Any Handy Man Can Install It. 



In All Your 

 Boiler Work 



Use it for patching when you cannot afford to cut a jboiler out. 

 ELASTIC FIRE BRICK can be used for aU fire brick purposes. 



Hocrbcr Bros., Geo. Wittbold Co.» Miller Bros., C. Haosermann, John Reading and Broadbeck the Florist 

 are using Elastic Lining. These are only a few of the thousands we are selling.

provided that it will furnish 3-inch 

 ports for the main flow and return 

 pipes. We should prefer to use the hot 

 water method for heating a small green- 

 house, especially in a southern state, 

 and especially where there is such a 

 wide variation in the minimum tem- 

 peratures. 



To heat to 60 degrees with hot water, 

 when it is 8 or 10 degrees above 

 zero outside, we should use three 2-inch 

 flow pipes, placing one on each side 

 wall plate and the other three feet 

 below the ridge. Twelve 1%-inch re- 

 turns in three coils, one on each of the 

 walls or under the side benches and 

 the other under the middle bench, 

 should be arranged. If beds are used 

 instead of benches, four of the pipes 

 may be in the walks or overhead. 

 By firing a little more heavily than 

 usual, it will be possible to keep up the 

 temperature, even if the mercury should 

 drop to 10 degrees below zero during 

 the next thirty-five years. 



If it is to be heated by steam, the 

 house will require one 2-inch overhead 

 flow pipe and ten 1%-inch returns. In 

 (!ase that a temperature of 50 degrees 

 will sufl&ce, the number of returns may 

 be reduced to eight for steam heat and 

 ten for hot water. 



SELECTING A BOILER. 



I have in mind a greenhouse that lies 

 southwest and northeast. It is twenty 

 feet wide, has three feet of concrete in 

 the side and end walls, and thirty inches 

 of glass in the side walls. There is glass 

 above the concrete in the southwest end, 

 but there is no glass in the northeast 

 end. What length of house of this kind 

 can be heated with an Ideal Premier 

 hot water boiler. No. 3132, rated at 1,400 

 square feet? And will this heat a sim- 

 ilar house that is thirty feet wide? 

 Would a Fort Wayne steam boiler, rated 

 at fifteen horsepower, suffice? How can 

 I use 300 feet of 3-inch pipe, which I 

 have on hand? C. J. R.— Minn. 



We are not familiar with the capacity 

 of an Ideal Premier heater of the size 

 mentioned, but if it is properly rated at 

 1,400 square feet of radiation, it should 

 heat the 20-foot house, if made 100 feet 

 in length, to 60 degrees or, if ma(Te 125 

 feet in length, to 50 degrees. If the 

 house is built thirty feet wide, it may be 

 sixty feet long for 60 degrees or seventy- 

 five feet in length for 50 degrees. In 

 case it is planned to build two houses, 

 one of them twenty feet and the other 

 thirty feet in width, they may be forty- 

 five feet long if to be heated to 60 de- 

 grees, or fifty-six feet if 50 degrees will 

 answer.
