When you order that new boiler, omit the 

 common stationary grate bars and get the 



MARTIN ROCKING GRATE 



Repeat orders received from most of the following leading

 these growers. They will tell you that they DO save coal.

span, and the potting shed at the north 

 is a decided protection in sections where 

 the temperature falls below zero and 

 winds are prevalent, as in your state. 



I would further suggest that you get 

 a boiler that can be used as a steam 

 boiler, pipe the houses on a steam basis 

 and run them with hot water during mild 

 weather, but change to steam during se- 

 vere weather. With a large plant this 

 will be a decided saving in first cost 

 and will be an advantage, as the tem- 

 perature of the houses can be held more 

 uniform during severe spells with steam 

 than with hot water. If the houses are 

 to be piped as above suggested the fol- 

 lowing specifications will serve: 



Each house should be provided with 

 about 430 square feet of radiation. This, 

 if supplied by l^i-inch pipes, will re- 

 quire thirteen returns the length of the 

 house. If the returns are arranged under 

 the benches a S^-inch riser carried 

 from the main flow to the most distant 

 end of the house, beneath the ridge, can 

 be used to feed the returns. The houses 

 thus equipped will be satisfactory for 

 hot water in mild weather and can be 

 changed to steam in severe weather if 

 a boiler generating steam is used. 



If you are to add two houses next 

 season I would advise the use of a boiler 

 rated to carry 3,000 feet of radiation; 

 not leds than 2,500 feet. The boiler pit 

 should be deep enough to place the boiler 

 well below the level of the returns in the 

 houses and of ample capacity. Small 

 boiler pits are a great inconvenience.

Adams, Mass. — A. J. Boothman has 

 just completed a house 17x50 to take 

 care of the overflow. He says this 

 season has been the best ever.
