The Florists' Review

Greenhouse Heating 



Is a perplexing question to all florists 

 except those using 



Morehead Steam Traps 



HAVE you ever talked with a brother florist who uses Morehead Return 

 Steam Traps? It not, do so at first opportunity and be convinced that 

 you must Install one at once. 



There are more MORBHEAD TRAPS installed in greenhouses than of all other 

 makes of steam traps combined. The Morehead is distinctly a florist's trap. Every 

 feature of its construction has been treated with a view of meeting the special needs 

 of the florist. i

are easy to install. These 

 grates are built to fit 

 your furnace— not your 

 furnace to fit the grates. 

 Any fireman can install 

 them without tools. 



We are rocker grate specialists. We 

 build rocker grates only. We can give 

 you service that you cannot get else- 

 where. It matters not what size or 

 style of furnace you have, just place 

 your order with us and we will do the rest,

3-ineh pipes may be used instead of one 

 4-inch flow. 



Fourteen lines of 2-inch pipe should 

 be used for the returns. These should 

 be placed as high as possible on the 

 walls, with one or two lines on each of 

 the purlin and ridge posts and two or 

 three under the propagating bench. 

 Under the conditions named, it would 

 be helpful to attach a mercury gen- 

 erator, in which case twelve 2-inch 

 pipes would suffice. 



PIPING A HOTBED. 



It is our intention to construct a 

 hotbed about seventy-five feet long and 

 we wish to heat it with hot water by 

 running the pipes under the soil in the 

 bed. This hotbed will be located on a 

 piece of sloping ground and the upper 

 end will be about two feet higher than 

 the lower end. What size of pipe 

 should be used? How far apart should 

 the pipes be and how deep should they 

 be under the soil? We are located in 

 Wisconsin.

Whether the hotbed can be heated 

 by hot water will depend upon the 

 height of the return pipes above the 

 top of the boiler. If they are at least 

 even with the top of the boiler, the 

 hotbed can be heated by running a 

 2-inch flow pipe on the back of the 

 bed near the glass and placing the re- 

 turns about eight inches below the sur-

face, distributing them as evenly as 

 possible. The number of returns will 

 depend upon the temperature desired; 

 two 2-inch pipes would be needed for 

 a temperature of 55 degrees and three 

 pipes would be required for 60 to 65 

 degrees. This would answer after 

 March 15, but at least one more return 

 will be needed if the bed is to be used 

 before that time.
