PIPING FOR STEAM. 



I have two connected houses, one 

 19x75, the other 15x75, eleven feet to 

 ridge, side walls seven feet high with 

 forty-two inches glass in south wall and 

 gables glass. I want to pipe these houses 

 for steam to maintain 55 to 60 degrees. 

 Our temperature outdoors seldom goes 

 as low as 24 degrees below zero. I in- 

 tend to grow carnations and general 

 stock. M. C. 



A good plan to carry out in piping 

 your houses would be as follows: Carry 

 a 2-inch riser under the ridge of each 

 house from the boiler to the most distant 

 end of the house, giving the pipe a slight 

 downward grade in that direction. From 

 each of these risers take off pipes to sup- 

 ply manifolds under the benches or upon 

 the side walls, so constructed as to make 

 use of twenty lines of 1^4 -inch pipe the 

 length of the houses. Valves should be 

 placed in a number of these 1 14-inch 

 pipes near the manifold entered by the 

 flow pipe. At the opposite end of the 

 same pipe and nearest the boiler a swing 

 check valve should be placed. This will 

 allow of placing as many pipes as are 

 valved out of commission during warm 

 or mild weather and will at the same time 

 provide a reserve for severe weather. 

 The size and number of pipes stated will 

 be ample for the coldest weather if a 

 steam pressure of five pounds is main- 

 tained. The location of the pipes is 

 to some extent a matter of convenience, 

 but with such crops as roses it is neces- 

 sary that some of the pipes be placed 

 under the benches. This is not so essen- 

 tial with carnations, yet most growers 

 use the system of placing the pipes un- 

 der the benches. It is more convenient in 

 most cases and is an advantage with most 

 forcing and bedding plants. L. C. C.

 was for years at Paterson and Market 

 streets, has removed his store to 181 

 Market street, where he is very nicely sit- 

 uated.
