CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



How much capacity has a tubular 

 boiler fifteen feet long, thirty-six inches 

 in diameter, with a grate area 31x48 

 inches and twenty-four 3-inch flues f We 

 have on it now three houses each 18x200. 

 Would it heat another house the same 

 size or could we make it 25x200? We 

 now heat 4,000 feet of 1-inch pipe and 

 600 feet of 1%-inch pipe and the boiler 

 seems to do the work very easily. We 

 wish to grow carnations. T. W. C. 



I judge from your question and the 

 size of pipe stated that you use 

 steam. If so, your boiler has a heating 

 capacity for about 3,150 feet of radia- 

 tion. The 4,000 feet of 1-inch pipe now 

 carried by the boiler is equivalent to 

 1,376 feet of radiation and the 600 feet 

 of 1%-inch pipe is equal to 298 feet of 

 radiation, or a total of 1,674 square 

 feet, or about one-half the capacity of 

 your boiler. You may therefore nearly 

 double the present plant without in- 

 creasing the heating equipment, provided 

 you do not demand a higher temperature 

 than ^hat now used. L. C. C, 



WHATS IN A NAME? 



Once upon a time it was recorded that 

 "a rose by any other name would smell 

 as sweet," but just the same there's a 

 good deal in a name. A name may not 

 sell a plant, but a good name is better 

 than a poor one and a descriptive name 

 is best of all. W-haT^eculiar views as 

 to names some people take is shown 

 by the following sentences from the ad- 

 dress of an estimable gentleman before 

 the horticultural sotiety at Adrian, 

 Mich. : 



Gen. MacArthur Is certainly, I think, the fln- 

 eat and best of the new roses. I am sorry it 

 was not named for Gen. Miles, who is aot 

 ashamed to be a worker In the peace cause. 

 Gen. MacArthur Is one of our bloodiest benevo- 

 lent assimllators, and a teacher of the most 

 hideous doctrines that would enthrone the devil. 

 I shall call my Gen. MacArthur roses Gen. 

 Miles.
