walls, but, if 60 totWTflegrees will an- 

 swer and if the walls contain no glass, 

 I would jcdh^fiider that there is an ex- 

 cess of imdilftion in the house, provided 

 it is well built and has about an aver- 

 age exposure. At the outside estimate, 

 two 2^ -inch flows and eleven 2-inch 

 returns would answer, and even better 

 results. .couSL be obtained from three 

 flows and fen returns. If the side walls 

 have any glass, one additional return 

 will be needed for each two feet of 

 glass. For 50 degrees, use two flows 

 and eight returns. 



TWO GREENHOUSES AND OFFICE. 



We intend to build two greenhouses, 

 as indicated in the enclosed sketch, and 

 should like to know how to pipe them 

 for the best results. The temperature 

 required will be 55 to 60 degrees in 

 zero weather. House No. 1 contains no 

 benches. House No. 2 has benches, as 

 shown in the drawing. The houses are 

 six and one-half feet high to the eaves 

 and twelve feet high to the ridge. There 

 are four feet of glass in the sides and 

 glass in the gable ends. We also wish 

 to know how to pipe the office. 



M. E. J. C— Ohio. 



The sketch which accompanies the 

 letter shows two houses, 20x125 and 

 25x140, respectively, with one side and 

 one end of each house exposed, and 

 with the boiler room at one end of the 

 longer house and the office at the op- 

 posite end of the other house. 



For the larger house, I would use four 

 2%-inch flow pipes, placing one upon 

 each plate and the others under the pur- 

 lins, with thirteen 2-inch returns. Three 

 returns should be under each of the 

 benches and four on the outside wall. 



In the house 20x125, use the same 

 number of flow pipes, extending one 

 into the office to supply the radiation 

 needed there, but since the sketch does 

 not show bow much window surface it 

 will contain, I cannot give an estimate, 

 except to state in a general way that 

 an average amount would be 100 square 

 feet of radiation. This may be fur- 

 nished by two radiators or by means of 

 165 feet of 2-inch pipe in coils. A 2%- 

 inch return pipe should be run back to 

 the boiler. In addition to the three 

 flows for the greenhouse and the flow 

 and return to the office, nine 2-inch re- 

 turns will be required in the smaller 

 house. Four of these should be on the 

 outer wall, three on the inner wall and 

 one of the others in each of the middle 

 walks. 



Just what should be the size of the 

 main flow and return pipes leading into 

 the house will depend upon the ports 

 in the boiler, but two 3-inch pipes will 

 supply each house, and the returns will 

 be of the same size.
