Greenhouse Heating. 



SIZE OF BOILEB. 



I should like to know how large a 

 hot water boiler will be needed to heat 

 two greenhouses, each 15x100, and a 

 dwelling of six rooms, in this Pennsyl- 

 vania climate. I have been thinking 

 of purchasing a second-hand boiler. 

 What size of boiler will be needed and 

 v/hich would be the better kind, cast- 

 iron or tubular! L. C. L. 



The information furnished does not 

 give a perfectly clear idea of what will 

 bo required in the way of a boiler. So 

 far as the greenhouses are concerned, 

 it will make a difference of at least 

 fifty per cent whether the houses are 

 used for violets or roses, while the size 

 of the rooms in the dwelling and the 

 amount of exposed window and wall 

 surface should also be known before any 

 definite estimate can be furnished. 



In sections where a zero temperature 

 must be planned for, the average 6-room 

 house can be heated by 350 square feet 

 of hot water radiation. When a tem- 

 perature of 60 degrees must be main- 

 tained in a greenhouse 15x100 feet, not 

 far from 600 square feet will be needed. 

 Under those circumstances, for the 

 six-room dwelling and two greenhouses 

 I would select a hot water boiler rated 

 for 2,000 square feet of radiation. 

 Whether a cast-iron or tubular boiler 

 should be used depends fully as much 

 upon the construction of the heater as 

 upon the material used. 



NOT ENOUGH HEAT. 



I have two connected greenhouses, 

 each 24x55. The side walls are five 

 feet high and consist of three feet of 

 concrete and two feet of glass. Three 

 of the gable ends are glass. Each of 

 the houses is twelve feet high to the 

 ridge. In one of the houses there are 

 two feed pipes, one of them 4-inch 

 and the other 3-inch; also seven 2- 

 iiich returns next to the concrete wall 

 and five 2-inch returns along the walk.

What $5 Will Do 



On a certain February 11, B. L. Elliott, of 

 Pittsburgh, was awakened by the rinsing 

 of his Standard thermostat alarm. He 

 found his previously reliable niglit man 

 fast asleep, and the temperature fall- 

 ing fast. In •noth«r half hour h« 

 , would havo lost $SO,0OO. 



Two nights later the night fireman 

 of £. J. Ahem.Wellesley, Mass., met 

 with a fall that rendered him uncon- 

 scious. He had no Standard thermo- 

 stat alarm and tho ontiro plaeo 

 ffrozo up aolld. 



This simple Standard thermostat is 

 on the job night and day. Adjust the 

 hands at whatever point you please 

 and the thermostat 



WILL RINQ A BELL 



whenever the temperature rises or 

 falls to the danger point. You can 

 locate the bell at your bedside or anywhere 

 else you please. Anybody can put it up. 



Tho ptico off this offflclont 

 Instrumont Is only $8.00.
