meiit of the houses, looking from the 

 south. You will understand that the 

 house at the left had just been built 

 before the late spring snow and has not 

 yet been heated; the same is true of the 

 south end of the house at the right and 

 also of the narrow house not shown in 

 the picture, which we are now erecting 

 farther to the right. 



In deciding the best i)olicy for the 

 future we must especially consider the 

 efficiency of future operation, cost of 

 immediate extensions of heating pipes 

 shown by the red lines, and the possi- 

 ble future cost in case we doubled the 

 whole plant. Also the present size of 

 the mains must be considered, the neces- 

 sary changes in them that are required 

 for either extension, as well as tlie fact 

 that the little boiler is good for a few 

 years, for hot water heat, but not for 

 steam, Whereas the big boiler is good 

 for either, and if the system is changed 

 to steam the big boiler would probably 

 carry the whole plant easily alone. 



Our experience with heating systems 

 has been largely limited to this one; 

 observations in various other green- 

 houses; a study of what William Scott 

 offers on heating in his Florists' Man- 

 ual, and tables wliich give proper size of 

 flows for hot water and steam, as well 

 as the amount of radiation per square 

 foot of glass. We have avoided going 

 into further details of the system for 

 the reason that if hot water is continued 

 we will continue along a similar line 

 to what we now have, simply extending 

 it. If steam is decided upon we will 

 take up the study anew, using as much 

 of the present equipment as possible.

We hardly know what to advise in 

 this case. It has been fairlj* presented. 

 It is unquestionable that piping a green- 

 house for steam will cost but little more 

 than one-half as much as when hot 

 water piping is installed, so far as the 

 price of the material is concerned, and

 PLIBRICO — Devil's Putty — shaped into walls, baf-

 brick as strong as rock and impervious to heat. 



Destruction of boiler settings always starts in the joints. 

 Mortar falls out and clinkers find a splendid place to cling. 

 They fuse to the brick ends and when broken off take part 

 of the brick with them. Patchwork repairs are necessary 

 and frequent until finally a new setting is demanded.

settings eliminate all this trouble. No mortar to fall out — no crevices to 

 disintegrate. PLIBRICO withstands temperature up to 3I()0°F. Its 

 smooth, jointless surface leaves no place for clinkers to lodge. 



If your furnace does not give service it was not lined with PLIBRICO. 



PLIBRICO comes neatly packed in large steel containers as shown be- 

 low. We make prompt deliveries from stock carried in all principal cities. 

 Building the setting is a quick and simple task. 



Our interesting booklet, D 3, on Fumace Building tells just how to do it. Write for a copy today.
