Come Out on Top! 



Keep your boiler up on the ground where 

 it is readily accessible for firing and 

 repairs. There's a way to save time and 

 money— trouble and expense— and still 

 obtain the same drainage facilities.

The Morehead System keeps yoor steam 

 lines dry, hot; increases the circulation 

 and assures a perfect dndnage. It feeds 

 the condensate directly to your boilers, 

 thereby maintaining the constant tem- 

 perature so necessary in the greenhouse. 

 And it's so simple, too-so sure. Ask 

 for the complete facts.

consider the best manner of piping the 

 house, I would suggest running a 2^^- 

 inch main along the west end of the 

 houses and taking off a 2-inch main 

 for each house. Bun these through the 

 houses to the east end and there con- 

 nect them with four 1^-inch returns 

 in each house. -If the water is to be 

 returned^ to the boiler by gravity, place 

 one return on each plate and the others 

 on the legs of .the benches, so that 

 they will bei at least three feet and 

 preferably four feet above the water 

 level in the boiler. Another way would 

 be to put in a steam trap and tank. 



PUT THE FLOWS AT THE EAVES. 



We are building a greenhouse 10x50 

 feet, and eight and one-half feet high 

 from ground to ridge. The side walls 

 will be four and one-half feet high; 

 the lower three feet will be wood, and 

 the remaining eighteen inches will be 

 glass. There will be. two benches, each 

 four feet wide, leaving room for a 2- 

 foot walk in the middle. We have 

 bought a Hummer sectional boiler, with 

 capacity to heat 1,275 square feet of 

 glass. Will it be necessary to place the 

 boiler in a pitt It so, how deep must 

 the pit bet The house will be used for 

 the growing and propagating of bed- 

 ding plants and we wish to be able to

"Having promised you a letter as aoon as we had passed through a 

 good, fair test, I consider It now almost timely. We had the thermometer 

 18 degrees beU)w and we've just gone through a blizzard bad enough for 

 any season and am very well pleased to Inform you that our heating system 

 was equal to the occasion. So far as we have gone, am certainly well satis- 

 fied v\ith tbe Kroeschell Boiler, Generator and Heating System."

keep a temperature of 65 degrees in 

 zero weather. We have been planning to 

 run a flow and three returns under each 

 bench. Would it be better to place the 

 flows at the eaves and put four returns 

 under each bench? What size of pipes 

 would you advise us to use, and how 

 many lineal feet? We should prefer to 

 have some bottom h«At under the 

 bench that is to be used as the cutting 

 bench. C. E. G.— Ind. 



If the house is well built and only 

 has about an average exposure to the 

 cold winds, I would put in a 2%-inch 

 flow pipe on each of the side plates

and connect each of these flows at the 

 farther end of the house with three 

 2-inch returns, to be placed under tbe 

 side benches, carrying them as high as 

 possible. With this amount of piping 

 it will be an easy matter to keep up 

 a temperature of 65 degrees, in any- 

 thing except the coldest weather, and 

 during the few days when the mercury 

 is likely to drop below zero a little 

 extra attention to the firing will make
