The Florists! Review 



Greenhouse Heating 



is a perplexing question to all florists 

 except those using 



Morehead Steam Traps 



UAVK you •vr talked with • brother noriat who uaea Morehead Retnni 

 ■ ^ Steam Trapa? If not, do ao at flrat opportunity and be oonvlnoed that 

 you muat Inatall one at onoe. 



There are more MORBHKAD TRAPB Installed in greenhouses than of all other 

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

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

 of the florist.

and one-half feet high to the rid^e. 

 The walls are four and one-naif feet 

 high; the lower eighteen inches are con- 

 crete, the remaining three feet are 

 glass. The greenhouse stands five feet 

 west of the dwelling house. The pipes 

 from the boiler could run under the 

 dwelling house for a distance of fifteen 

 feet and then be incased under ground 

 outside for a distance of five feet before 

 entering the greenhouse. Which would 

 be the wiser plan to pursue — to depend 

 on the boiler only or to use a water 

 coilf Would the water coil supply suf- 

 ficient heat to keep the temperature at 

 60 degrees in zero weather? It could be 

 placed under local waterworks presarure. 

 The greenhouse contains four benches, 

 two for lettuce and two for various 

 plants. I am located in Indiana. 



Could I head directly from the boiler 

 in the home, if the pipes incased outside 

 should lie a few inches lower than the 

 boiler, by using some machine or con- 

 trivance of some kind, such as a heat 

 regulator, which would make a forced 

 circulation at all timesf E. L. L.

boiler and have it enter the greenhouse 

 under ground, but if the drop is only a 

 few inches it will be better than to 

 use the coil in the heater. It is possible 

 that the pipe can run from the heater 

 to the greenhouse without being 

 dropped, if tlxe flow pipe is carried 

 above ground. It can be wrapped in 

 asbestos packing and enclosed in a 

 sewer pipe, if deemed desirable. How- 

 ever, I would recommend, even though 

 the flow pipe must be given a drop in 

 order to enter -the greenhouse under 

 ground, that this be done rather than 

 to run a coil into the boiler. 



To heat the house to 60 'degrees, I 

 would run a 3-inch flow to the green- 

 house. Divide this into three 2-inch 

 flows, one of which can be. under tiie 

 ridge and the other on the wall plates. 

 Carry these to the farther end of the 

 house and connect with twelve 2-inch 

 returns. It will be helpful to have the

HEATING A MISSOUBI BANOE. 



I have a greenhouse, or a range of 

 greenhouses, seventy-five feet square, 

 built after the Dietsch plan, which 

 gives me five apartments, running east 

 and west, each 15 x 75. There are no 

 partitions, only the iron posts that sup- 

 port the valleys every fifteen feet. The 

 outside walls are four feet high and
