SXJBSCBIBERS 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. 



A MASSACHUSETTS LEAN-TO. 



Will you kindly advise me as to the 

 size and best arrangement of pipes for 

 the heating of a small house by hot 

 water? The house is built against the 

 southeast side of a barn. It is 9i/L>x25 

 feet and about fifteen feet high to the 

 ridge and contains a little less than 

 400 square feet of glass. I want to 

 heat it to about 70 degrees, without 

 forcing the fire. The boiler will be 

 placed in the barn, close to the south 

 end of the house. The bottom of the 

 boiler will be about fourteen inches be- 

 low the floor, of the greenhouse. I con- 

 template running the piping from the 

 "boiler directly to the purlin and then 

 to the north end of the house, returning 

 under the bench at the front of the 

 house and over the rear bench on the 

 side of the barn. As this is my first ex- 

 perience in thi.s line, I shall greatly 

 appreciate your advice. H. S. E. 



To heat a lean-to house such as is 

 described will require nearly 200 square 

 feet of radiatiort. The general plan sug- 

 jyeated will be all right. While a 2-inch 

 flow pipe will generally Answer for the 

 amount of radiation mentioned, the 

 number of returns will be so large, ow- 

 ing to the high temperature required, 

 AS well as the comparatively short 

 length, that it will be better to use at 

 least a 2i^-inch pipe for the flow. This 

 could be run on the side of the bHni,
