Oreenboose Heating. 



BOILER CAPAQTY. 



I have six houses running from north- 

 east to southvvest. They are 18x120 feet, 

 and have 10-foot ridges. A shed six feet 

 wide extends across three of them, and 

 the boiler is at one end of it. The boiler 

 is twelve horse-power. Will that size 

 heat the houses to 50 to 60 degrees, with 

 an occasional outside temperature of 25 

 degrees below zerof R. A. M. 



I assume that you purpose to use 

 steam heat in this plant. I also under- 

 stand that you have six houses each 

 18x120. These houses on a steam basis 

 require about 3,400 square feet of radia- 

 tion to maintain the temperature speci- 

 fied. To supply this radiation the boiler 

 should have at least 425 square feet of 

 surface exposed to the heated gases. 

 This amount of heating surface will be 

 provided by a thirty horse-power hori- 

 zontal tubular boiler. A twelve horse- 

 power boiler is hardly half large enough.

HEATING SASH HOUSE. 



I am building a sash house 20%xl05 

 feet, using 3x6 sashes, so that I can re- 

 move them in summer. It is for lettuce, 

 and will want 50 to \55 degrees in cold 

 weather. How many 2-inch pipes do I 

 need, using hot water? Both gable ends 

 are glass, and there are twenty-eight 

 inches of glass in the south wall. The 

 walls are four feet, the ridge nine feet 

 nine inches, and I have solid beds. Can 

 I put all the pipes on the walls, or must 

 I put some in the center? P. N. 



The house in question, 20%xl05 feet, 

 constructed of sashes, can be satisfac- 

 torily heated by using twelve 2-inch 

 pipes running the length of the house. 

 These can be arranged in two coils and 

 placed on the side walls. One pipe in 

 each coil should serve as a flow and at 

 the far end of the house empty into a 

 manifold carrying five returns. Another 

 arrangement is to have a 3-inch flow 

 under the ridge, and a manifold carry- 

 ing five returns on each side wall. A 

 well elevated expansion tank will be 

 necessary in either case. L. C. C. 



RICHMOND, IND. 



The big new range of the E. G. Hill 

 Co. is rapidly approaching completion. 

 Growers will be interested in it because 

 of a number of new features. Among 

 the notable things is the extensive use 

 of cement. The outside walls are of 

 cement and so are the benches, while 

 the big stack for the heating plant is 

 of the same material, the first one so far 

 report (•< I to be made of cement. 



Denison, Texas. — The Munson nursery 

 has installed oil burners at the green- 

 houses tor the steam heating. This is 

 the first plant of its kind in Texas to 

 be lieated by oil.
