the water from 30 to 40 degrees above 

 the usual temperature in an open hot 

 water system, it is possible not only 

 to use smaller pipes but also to make a 

 considerable reduction in the number. 

 If an open system is put in, two 2%- 

 inch flow pipes and from six to eight 2- 

 inch returns should be used, the number 

 of pipes depending upon the extent to 

 which the plants are to be forced. 

 The flow pipes may be carried on the 

 plates and the returns may be on the 

 walls just underneath, unless the top 

 of the boiler is above the level of the 

 returns, in which case it will be bet- 

 ter to have the flow pipes near the 

 ridge. 



MISSOURI VEGETABLE HOUSES. 



I intend. to build a range of green- 

 houses as shown in the enclosed dia- 

 gram. I have a Capitol boiler, No. 82.5, 

 Improved, almost new. I also have 

 some 4-inch cast pipe. I want to grow 

 lettuce and vegetable plants in house 

 No. 1 and flowers in some of the other 

 houses, but I want to build Nos. 1 and 

 2 now and add the other houses later. 

 I wish to know whether I can arrange 

 the pipes in Nos. 1 and 2 so I can get 

 a temperature of 65 degrees in zero 

 weather without using benches and 

 without putting any pipes under the
