Greenhouse Heating. 



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 Beview 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. 



PIPING A VIOLET HOUSE. 



I am about to build a greenhouse, 

 20x50, even-span, with no glass in the 

 side walls, but with glass in one end. 

 Please state the size and number of 

 pipes that will be needed and the best 

 arrangement of them. The house is 

 to be used for violets in solid beds. 

 The location is southeastern New Hamp- 

 shire. H. M. J. 



If the house is well built and only 

 moderately exposed to the swee^ of the 

 wind, it can be heated for growing vio- 

 lets by running a 2% -inch flow pipe 

 two feet under the ridge and from this 

 feeding two coils, each containing three 

 2-inch pipes, which should run from the 

 middle of the end of the house to the 

 comers and back to the boiler on the 

 walls. This would amount to about 

 sixty feet of 2J^-inch flow pipe and 360 

 feet of 2-inch pipe for the returns, in 

 addition to the amount required to con- 

 nect with the boiler. In mild weather 

 not over two pipes in each coil will be 

 needed, and it will be well to place a 

 valve upon one pipe in each coil rather 

 than rdy entirely upon keeping down 

 the temperature by means of ventilat- 

 ing and low firing. 



TO AVOID FBOZEN TANK PIPES. 



I am erecting a tank, 8x12, on a steel 

 tower forty feet high, close to my hot 

 water boiler. I intend to use the tank 

 as an expansion tank and want to find 

 out the best way to keep the pipes from 

 freezing. My location, you will notice, 

 is in northern Missouri. I intend to 

 lav a tight floor under the tank, thus 

 making a dead air space under the tank, 

 and I shall also put a tight cover over 

 the top. I shall build a tight box around 

 the pipes leading to the tank. CJould

By simply turning the rod or handle, 

 the ends contract until it will readily 

 pass into the flue. Then by turning the 

 handle in an opposite direction the cleaner 

 is gradually expanded until it fits the tube 

 perfectly; the brush following leaves the 

 tube absolutely clean.

I place a coil of hot water pipes in 

 the bottom of the box and keep them 

 from freezing, or would they freeze 

 at the bottom of the tank where the 

 water starts outf Would it take much 

 heat to run a pipe into the tank and 

 keep the water above freezing point? 

 I do not want to put too much more 

 work on the boiler. I think myself 

 that some hot water pipes at the bot- 

 tom of the box would be the best ar- 

 rangement, as I do not think a tank 

 ever freezes at the bottom, but I should
