The Florists' Review 



October 7, 1915. 



winds prevail. For 300 square feet of 

 glass about 100 square feet of radiation 

 will be needed, for 60 degrees. This 

 •will be furnished by 200 linear feet of 

 1%-inch pipe. 



I do not know what the effect of 

 Kero-Gas upon plants would be, but coal 

 gas is extremely injurious, and I would 

 consider it safest to locate the heater 

 BO that the gas could not reach the 

 plants in the house. 



ONE SMALL GBEENHOUSE. 



We have a small greenhouse, 14x30 

 and nine feet high to the ridge, which 

 we wish to heat with hot water. Will 

 two 2- inch flows, branching from a 214- 

 inch main flow, with ten l^^-inch re- 

 turns, be sufficient to heat the house for 

 such stock as geraniums? The top of the 

 boiler is on a level with the green- 

 house floor. The house runs east and 

 west and is well sheltered on the north 

 by a nearby residence and on the west 

 by an adjoining shed. One end is 

 glass a;nd the other end is partly glass. 

 The north wall is of matched lumber 

 and is six feet high. The south side 

 contains two and one-half feet of glass. 

 What boiler capacity will be necessary? 



D. W.— Minn. 



To heat the house described, a boiler 

 with a rating of 250 square feet will 

 be needed and it will be more eco- 

 nomical if of 300 square feet. 



The temperature desired is not stated, 

 nor is the outside temperature given, 

 but the use of two 2-inch flow pipes 

 and ten l^^-inch returns should hold 

 the house at 60 degrees when the tem- 

 perature is 20 degrees below zero out- 

 side. The flows may be on the plates 

 and the returns on the walls below, or 

 beneath the side benches. It is some- 

 times desirable to have the radiation 

 extend along the end of the house. 

 If the end is much exposed, I would 

 suggest that one 2i^-inch flow pipe be 

 placed a foot below the ridge and 

 dropped down at the farther end of 

 the house, to supply two coils, each 

 containing three or four 2-inch pipes, 

 which should run across the end of 

 the house to the corners and along the 

 side walls back to the boiler.
