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. 



IS THE BOILES LABQE ENOUGH? 



Will you please let me know whether 

 a Wilks hot water boiler, 24x42 inches, 

 will heat a greenhouse, 24x76 feet, 

 which has five feet of glass in the side 

 w£dls and is nine feet high to the ridge f 

 The house runs north and south. The 

 south end is glass; the north end is 

 attached to the boiler house and work- 

 room. The lowest outside temperature 

 here this winter was 12 degrees above 

 zero and the cold spells usually last only 

 a few days, but once in a long while 

 there is a decidedly cold spell, which 

 lasts longer and has below-zero temper- 

 atures. I have the boiler and should 

 like to extend the house to the length 

 mentioned, if that will not be taking 

 too much risk, M. E. P. F. — ^Tex. 



The letter does not state what temper- 

 ature is desired in the house and hence 

 it is not possible to gpive a definite 

 answer to the question. A Wilks hot 

 water boiler, 24x42 inches, is rated for 

 500 square feet of radiating surface, 

 which will answer for 2,250 square feet 

 of glass at 45 degrees, 2,000 square feet 

 at 50 degrees, 1,750 at 55 degrees and 

 1,500 at 60 degrees, when it Is zero 

 outside. 



A greenhouse 24x76 feet and nine 

 feet to the ridge, with five feet of 

 glass in each of the side walls, will 

 contain about 2,750 square feet of 

 glass. While a boiler 24x42 inches 

 would maintain a temperature of 60 

 degrees in mild weather, I would not 

 expect to keep the house much above 

 40 degrees with ordinary firing when 

 the outside temperature drops to 10 de- 

 grees above zero, although it might be 

 possible to carry the house at 50 de- 

 grees by giving the fire frequent at- 

 tention while the cold spell lasts.

A house twenty-four feet wide and 

 nine feet to the ridge would have an 

 unusually flat roof, and it occurs to 

 me that the ridge may be nine feet 

 above the plates, or about fourteen 

 feet from the ground, which is a more 

 usual height for a 24-foot house. This 



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. 

 That way is to install the

The Morehead System keeps yoor steam 

 lines dry. hot; increases the circulation 

 and assures a perfect drainaa*. 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.
