either a steam or hot water heating 

 plant in the basement of a dwelling and 

 use the same for lieatiiig the dwelling, 

 a series of hotbe Is .-ind a greenhouse. 

 The need above all others will be to 

 have the heater located so that the re- 

 turns will bo higher than the top of 

 the heater, with a gradual fall toward 

 the heater. Either steam or liot water 

 may be used for heating. The former 

 will cost considerably less to install, 

 while it will be more expensive to 

 operate, both in time required and in 

 fuel consumed. To prevent loss of heat, 

 the mains may be insulated and run 

 through sewer pipe. 



There will, of course, be a considcr- 

 ai)le .amount of heat lost from sashes. 

 During cold weather some form of 

 m;its may be used, at least iiloug the 

 edges of the beds. We prefer hotbeds 

 twelve feet wide, with an cvfii-span 

 roof covered witli two rows of (i-foot 

 sash. 



The statements regarding tlie size 

 of the house and the use to which the 

 proposed greenhouse is to be i)iit are 

 rather indefinite, but it is inferred that 

 it will take at least (550 squnre feet of 

 radiation to heat the dwelling and ."lOO 

 feet to heat the greenhouse with hot 

 water. A hotbed, 6 x 100 feet, should 

 have about 100 square feet of radiation 

 to keep out frost. To heat the dwell- 

 ing, greenhouse and five hotbeds, a 

 boiler r.ated at 2,400 square feet will l)e 

 needed if soft coal is to be used. With 

 steam a boiler rated for 1,;')00 squnre 

 feet will be ample. With oil as a fuel, 

 a boiler one size smaller mav be used.
