WILL REPIPE NEW HOUSE. 



I have been trying to grow carna- 

 tions in a new house, 20x70, running 

 east and west. It is four feet high- 

 to the eaves and eleven feet to the 

 ridge. The walls are double-boarded 

 with shiplap, with three thicknesses of 

 building paper between. There is no 

 glass in the walls. The west end abuts 

 on the boiler house; the east end ad- 

 joins a shed at the back of the resi- 

 dence. There are three solid beds, 

 raised one foot, with two aisles. I 

 have a hot water boiler, rated to carry 

 1,500 feet. I have been trying to heat 

 two houses with it, the one mentioned 

 and an old one, 20x80 and the same 

 height as the new one. The old house 

 contains benches. I have no trouble 

 with the old house, but I cannot keep 

 the new one warm and the beds have 

 poor drainage. 



I want to repipe the new house and 

 build benches in the coming summer. 

 I shall not trouble you by describing 

 the present heating system, except to 

 say that it is fed by a 3-inch flow, 

 two feet below the ridge. Please tell 

 me a good way to repipe this house. 

 Is it necessary to pipe under the mid- 

 dle bench f The outside temperature 

 in this part of Ontario drops occasion- 

 ally to 20 degrees below zero, but not 

 often. V. M. 



There is nothing in the letter to 

 indicate the cause of the trouble, and 

 the new house should be easier to heat 

 than the old one. The boiler, if up 

 to its rating, should be amply large 

 enough to heat the two houses. Espe- 

 cially in the more northern sections of 

 the country, and for houses where a 

 temperature of less than 60 degrees is 

 desired, I would prefer to use raised 

 benches and run two or three of the 

 return pipes under each bench, not 

 only to give bottom heat but to hasten 

 the evaporation of the drip water from 

 the roof. This, however, is not abso- 

 lutely necessary.

WHY TAKE A CHANCE? 



You can't know (at best you only think you 

 know) what the temperature is in your green- 

 houses, lights and during your absences, unless 

 you have 



THE STANDARD 



RECORDING 



THERMOMETER 



Present price, $20.00; formerly $2S.OO 



It has made thousands of dollars for many flor- 

 ists and may do as much for you. Your plants 

 must have certain, steady temperature to do their 

 best. Use this thermometer and you will know 

 whether they are getting what they need. It 

 leaves a written record under lock and key.

 is a good, reliable guide today." A. M. HKRR, Lancaster, Pa.
