The Florists' Review 



OCTOBXB 9, 1013. 



house is 10x56 and is to be used for 

 propagating. The height to the ridge 

 pole is eight feet. The houses are open 

 between and have ground beds. The 

 outside walls are covered with tar 

 paper. The boiler will be at the noj;th 

 end. I desire a temperature of 50 de- 

 grees at night in zero weather. My 

 crops are sweet peas and chrysanthe- 

 mums. I wish to use 2-inch pipes for 

 flows and 1-inch for returns. The 

 ground has a 2-foot fall to the boiler. 



C. B. S. 



To heat the houses described to 50 

 degrees, using 2-inch pipe for flows and 

 1-inch pipe for returns, three flows and 

 sixteen returns will be required in house 

 No. 1 and three flows and thirteen re- 

 turns in house No. 2. However, if I 

 were to indicate the piping to be used, 

 I would suggest three 2?^ -inch flows 

 and eight 2-inch returns for the former 

 and two flows and eight returns for the 

 latter house. For the propagating house 

 use two 2-inch flow pipes and eight 

 1-inch returns, or use one 2%-inch flow 

 and four or five 2-inch returns. 



BOILEB AND SMOKESTACK. 



I have a fire-box boiler that is twelve 

 feet long and thirty-six inches in diame- 

 ter and contains thirty-six 3-inch flues. 

 The fire-box is 30x54 inches and the 

 fire space is thirty inches high. What 

 size of stack will be required? The 

 outlet for the stack is eighteen inches 

 wide; can I reduce this to a 15-inch 

 stack and have plenty of draft? The 

 boiler is to be used for hot water. 

 Kindly inform me how many square 

 feet of glass it will heat, in this Ken- 

 tucky climate. V. H. T. 



A stack fifteen inches in diameter 

 can be used with the boiler described, 

 and if the stack is forty feet high, the 

 boiler should be able to handle 3,000 

 square feet of radiation. Just how 

 much glass can be heated with this 

 amount of pipe will depend upon the 

 temperature desired, but it will be 

 about 10,000 square feet if 60 degrees 

 is required, or as much as 13,000 square 

 feet provided 50 degrees will answer. 



In case more or less than this amount 

 of glass is to be heated, a proportionate 

 increase or decrease of the height and 

 size of the stack, to the extent of 

 twenty-five per cent, may be made. 



VISaiNIA VEGETABLE HOUSES. 



I have been in the business of grow- 

 ing early tomato, cabbage, pepper and 

 other plants and I intend this fall to 

 build a greenhouse, 20x50 feet. I shall 

 be pleased if you will inform me as to 

 the proper size and horse-power of a 

 boiler to heat two houses, each 20x50, 

 with hot water. It is only once in four 

 or five years that the outside tempera- 

 ture here gets down to 10 degrees be- 

 low zero. M. G. G. 



To heat two houses, 20x50 feet, to 60 

 degrees in zero weather will require 

 about 600 square feet of radiating sur- 

 face, and a boiler with that rating 

 should answer in the climate of east- 

 ern Virginia. If a steam boiler is used 

 it should have a rating of eight or ten 

 horse-power, but any good boiler with 

 a grate twenty-four inches in diameter 

 would do the work. 



To heat each house, run a 214-inch 

 flow pipe about two feet below the ridge 

 and use eight 2-inch pipes under the 



QUICKEST WATER HEATER IN THE WORLD 



The. immense amount of direct self-cleanins heating larface, the 



thin vertical -water waya and tlie lonr effective fire travel, cause 



the Kroeschell type of boiler constraction to heat water quicker 



than any other form of boiler.

After using your No. 12 Kroeschell 

 Boiler I came to the conclusion that 

 had I to install more l>oilers it would 

 be the Kroeschell and no other. It 

 really l« a pTeasnre to beat, no trouble 

 to get the desired heat in a very short 

 time.

Regarding the Kroeschell it is the best 

 we have ever had and satisfactory beyond 

 our expectations. It heats up especially 

 quick and has saved us considerably al- 

 ready in the prtce of fuel. When we arc 

 In need of another boiler we will give 

 the Kroeschell the first consideration.

 In speaking of the Kroeschell Boiler as 

 an economical greenhouse boiler I cannot 

 say too much. Personally I have had 

 the pleasure or misfortune to fire nearly 

 every make of G. H. Boiler on the mar- 

 ket and I can safely say the Kroeschell 

 is the best of them all.
