should the piping be 

 L. M. S.— Mich. 



The skctcli indicates that there will 

 be one house 29x108 feet, with four feet 

 of glass in one side and five feet for a 

 distance of forty-eight feet along the 

 other side and one end, to be heated to 

 50 or 55 degrees, and <i smaller house 

 15x60 feet, with five feet of glass in one 

 side and one end wall below the gutter. 

 This house is to be heated to 60 to 65 

 degrees. 



The service house, 18x44 feet, extends 

 along the west end of both greenhouses. 

 The concrete wall below the sills of the 

 houses averages about three feet in 

 height. 



For the wide house it is suggested 

 that you use four 2i/^-inch flow pipes, 

 carrying one on each side wall plate and 

 the others on the purlin posts about ten 

 feet from the floor of the house. How- 

 over, if preferred, two 3-inch flow pipes, 

 to be carried on the purlin posts, would 

 answer for this house. 



If four 2V^-inch flows are used, ten 

 2-inch pipes will answer for the coils, 

 but twelve will be needed with two 3- 

 inch flows. 



With ten returns, if narrow benches 

 are used, two pipes may be placed on 

 each wall and the others distributed un- 

 der the benches. When twelve returns 

 are used there should be three on each 

 of the side walls. For use with solid 

 beds, an additional return may be 

 placed on each wall and the others in 

 the w.alks. 



In the narrow house, the use of three 

 2%-inch flows is suggested, the odd flow 

 to be placed along the gutter of the ex- 

 posed wall. Although eight 2-inch re- 

 turns would answer for this house, nine 

 would be better, especially if a tem- 

 perature of 65 degrees is desired. 



So far as the circulation is concerned, 

 nothing will be gained by using two sets 

 of coils in the wide house. However, it 

 may be done, if one end of the house is 

 not to be used for extended periods. 



If the service house is well built, and 

 if it does not contain much exposed 

 glass, little radiation will be required 

 in addition to what will be afforded by 

 the boiler, together with the main flow 

 and return pipes. However, if 70 de- 

 grees are desired, it will be advisable to 

 })lace a coil of three 2i/i!-inch pipes on 

 the exposed side wall. 



About 2,200 square feet of radiation 

 will be desirable as the rating of the 

 boiler, and the chimney for the above 

 radiation should have an inside diame- 

 ter of ten inches, with a lO-inch smoke 

 jiijie from the boiler. 



Spartanburg, S. C. — Fred W. Sa,ss, 

 formerly half owner of Fred's Flower 

 'larden, has disposed of his interests in 

 this firm. He lias started a new concern 

 under the name of the Spartanburg Flo- 

 ral & Truck Co. and is now the active 

 manager of this concern.
