Morehead Steam Traps *^

 Steam Traps'? If not, do so at first opportunity and be convlnoed that

 makes of steam traoa 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.

Greenhouse Heating. 



The freight car situation is a little 

 better than it was a year ago, but the sur- 

 plus of cars decreased almost 30,000 dur- 

 ing the last half of September and a 

 pinch is expected to come with the first 

 really cold weather. Coal men advise 

 getting the bunkers filled without further 

 delay. 



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 Eeview 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. 



PIPINO FIVE OHIO HOUSES. 



"What is the best way to heat the 

 houses shown in the enclosed diagram? 

 A carnation temperature is desired, 

 though the largest house, 24 x 50, will 

 be used for lettuce, violets, etc., grown 

 in ground beds. The center bed in the 

 15-H)ot house and in the 22-foot house 

 will also be solid; aside from these, 

 raised benches will be used. The houses 

 are all four feet high at the sides. 

 Two hoiQses, as marked, have ventilators 

 in one side; the other walls are boarded. 

 The prevailing winds here are from the 

 west. The lowest outdoor temperature 

 ever experienced here was 20 degrees 

 below zero. ' K. W, H. 



The sketch shows two ranges of green- 

 houses. One of the ranges contains two 

 houses, running north and south. Near 

 the northeast corner of these is the 

 other range, consisting of three houses, 

 which run east and west. The boiler 

 room and potting shed are in the angle 

 formed by the two ranges and protect 

 one end of all the five houses. To pro- 

 vide a suitable temperature for carna- 

 tions in southern Ohio, where the mer- 

 cury never drops lower than 20 degrees 

 below zero, the following arrangement 

 is suggested if hot water is to be used: 

 ' For the west house, which is 15 x 50, 

 with glass ventilators in the west wall, 

 use a 214-inch flow on each plate and 

 two coils, each containing three 2-inch
