The Florists^ Review 



rEBBUABZ 4, 1016. 



If five flow pipes are used, the others 

 should be under the purlins. About 

 one-third of the returns should be on 

 each of the walls and the others under 

 the benches. 



CRUDE OIL AS FUEL. 



We have been considering the propo- 

 sition of using crude oil as fuel for 

 our boilers. Can you give us any in- 

 formation as to the cost of oil for such 

 a purpose, as compared with coal? Do 

 you know of any greenhouse ranges 

 that are successfully operated with oil 

 as fuel. E. J. S. & S. 



When crude oil can be obtained at a 

 price per barrel not to exceed one-half 

 the cost per ton of a good grade of 

 run-of-mine coal, it will be found an 

 economical fuel, since we should also 

 take into account the saving in the 

 cost of firing and of handling the coal 

 and ashes. Crude oil is quite exten- 

 sively used for heating and power pur- 

 poses. 



THBEE CALIFOBNIA HOUSES. 



Kindly give me some infohtjUktion 

 about the piping of my greenhouses. I 

 have three connected houses, each 25 

 xlOO, six feet high to the eaves and 

 twelve feet to the ridge. The outside 

 temperature in this part of California 

 seldom falls lower than 35 degrees 

 above zero and I want to keep the 

 temperature of the houses at 50 de- 

 grees. What size of hot water boiler 

 would be needed? Would it be best 

 to put the boiler in a pit? The 

 houses are new and run east and west. 



D. E. P. 



Each of the houses can be heated by 

 means of six 2-inch pipes. One may 

 be placed upon each wall plate as a 

 flow, and connected with two returns. 

 I would use a boiler rated at about 

 2,000 square feet of radiation and 

 would place it in a pit or cellar, so that 

 it would be below the returns. If this 

 cannot be readily done, a generator 

 should be attached.
