A COIL BOILER. 



We have three houses to heat with a 

 coil boiler. First is a rose house 16x40, 

 then a plant house 18x30 and parallel" 

 with these a carnation house 18x50, all 

 fairly well protected. Our present coil 

 boiler contains sixty-five feet of 1%-inch 

 pipe. We thought of getting another set 

 of tees for 1-inch pipe and making it a 

 twin heater, so we could use only one in 

 mild weather. Or can we enlarge our 

 present heater by doubling the pipe 

 back, making the coils three deepf 



A. B. 



To heat the present plant to 60 de- 

 grees in severe weather the houses should 

 be provided with at least 600 feet of 

 radiation, or 960 lineal feet of 2-inch 

 pipe. The present pipe heater has a 

 capacity for carrying about 260 feet 

 of radiation, a little less than one-half 

 what should be available to heat the 

 present plant if located in the latitude 

 of New York city; if south of that a 

 little less will do. You will therefore be 

 safe in doubling the present capacity. of 

 your heating plant, preferably by build- 

 ing a larger boiler. For plans of a pipe 

 heater see Florists' Eeview^, December 

 31, 1903, pp. 269. L. C. C. 



PIPING A LEAN-TO. 



I have built a greenhouse 14x26 at- 

 tached to the south side of my dwelling. 

 The roof is thirteen feet high at the 

 top and eight feet at the eave plate. The 

 two ends and south side are glass. What 

 size of heater will be required in Ohio 

 climate? There are three benches in the 

 house. What size of pipe would you use 

 and how should it be distributed? 



L. W. B. 



A boiler rated to carry 200 feet of 

 radiation will be large enough to heat 

 the house in question. The radiation for 

 this house can be supplied by providing 

 six runs of 1^4 -inch pipe running along 

 the three exposed sides of the building. 

 The pipe can be arranged in a flat coil 

 against the outside wall or it can be 

 placed under the benches. In making up 

 the coils 300 lineal feet of li4-inch pipe 

 should be used. L. C. C. 



Nevada, Mo. — G. P. Kaupp & Son 

 have just completed two new green- 

 houses 22x100 and begun the erection 

 of another. 



Medina, O. — Hammerschmidt & Clark 

 report trade very quiet for two months. 

 They are putting up a house 20x30. Car- 

 nations are still in the field because the 

 plants remain small.
