Greenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Review to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



PIPINa A MICHIGAN HOUSE. 



I have a greenhouse 20x64 feet and 

 eleven feet three inches to the ridge, 

 with one glass gable and with two feet 

 of glass in the sides. The side walls 

 are five feet high and are double 

 boarded, with paper between the boards. 

 It is to be heated with hot water. Will 

 you kindly give me your idea as to the 

 best plan for piping this house to main- 

 tain a temperature of 60 degrees when 

 the outside temperature is 10 degrees 

 below zero? The fire grate is 18x30 

 inches. J. I. H. 



To heat a house 20x64 feet, with two 

 feet of glass in each side wall, to 60 

 degrees, will require about 600 square 

 feet of radiating surface. To supply 

 this, run a 2^-inch flow pipe on each 

 wall plate and another under the ridge. 

 For returns use three 2-inch pipes on 

 each wall, or under each side bench, 

 and five 2-inch returns under the other 

 benches. Run the flows with a slight 

 fall and connect the expansion tank at 

 the highest point. 



A GREENHOUSE AND LEAN-TO. 



Kindly tell me the right size of boiler, 

 the size and number of flows and where 

 to place them, and the correct size and 

 number of returns to heat a greenhouse 

 28%x50 feet, seven feet high at the 

 sides and fourteen feet five inches high 

 to the ridge, with four feet of glass in 

 each wall and with glass in both gable 

 ends. I wish to be able to maintain a 

 temperature of 55 degrees in zero 

 weather, in the climate of the Willa- 

 mette valley, Oregon. Also ;rive me in- 

 structions for piping a lean-to, 6x50, to 

 be used as a propagating house. The 

 outer wall of the .lean-to is five feet 

 high. The fuel used will be woodJi 



*•*(£ To heat the house describi^d t? 55 de-, 

 grees in zero weather, about '5ou square 

 leet of radiation will be needed, but for 

 economy it is suggested that the boiler 

 should have a rating of 750 to 850 



f 10 Hours Without Firing 



even in severely cold weather, is a common 

 experience with those growers who use the 



Wilks Self-Feeding Hot Water Boilers

to keep the temperature even and continuous, 

 makine night firing unnecessary. Made en- 

 tirely of steel ; no cast iron sections to crack.
