IN COLD CLIMATE. 



Please let me know how to pipe a new 

 greenhouse for best results. The house 

 I is 22x40 feet, ten feet to the ridge, with 

 'a glass partition in the center. I need. 

 «t least 55 degrees when the weather out- 

 doors is sometimes 50 degrees below 

 izero. I have another house 18x36, twelve 

 feet high. How should it be piped? 



P. J. K. 



! In heating houses of small size with 

 tot water in as cold a climate as you are 

 working in, it will be well to use hot 

 I water under pressure, i. e., use malleable 

 iron pipe and an elevated expansion tank. 

 A good plan for the house 22x40 feet 

 woidd be to use a 2 ^^ -inch riser under 

 the ridge, with the highest point at the 

 •end of the greenhouse most distant from 

 the boiler. From that point take off 

 /three 2-inch pipes, one to supply each of 

 the three coils of five 2-inch pipes ar- 

 ranged under the three greenhouse 

 benches. The benches should be con- 

 structed in such manner as to allow a 

 space of at least one inch between the 

 side bench and the greenhouse wall. The 

 house 18x36 can be piped in the same 

 manner. A 2-inch flow under the ridge 

 will be large enough and fourteen 2-inch 

 returns, five under each side bench, with 

 four under the center bench will provide 

 sufficient heat. L. C. C.
