the system, which is at the end of the 

 run. The fall is two inches in ten feet, 

 with a 4-foot drop to the boiler. 



Can I add one more 1^-inch gipe on 

 each side, or will the 2-inch flow carry 

 :iny additional returns! When firing 

 hard in the winter, I find the return near 

 the boiler apparently as hot as the flow. 

 All my piping is under the benches. 



A. V. 



The 2-inch flows are ample to carry 

 another li.^-inch return in each nlani- 

 fold. The addition of another li^-inch 

 pipe to each coil will give you a scant 

 radiation for 60 degrees during severe 

 weather. If you are growing cool stuff, 

 this will probably be satisfactory; if 

 ruiinin^' mixed stock, add two pipes to 

 the coil on the most exposed side and 

 one to the other. • L. C. C. 



BOILER CAPAQTY. 



Please tell us what capacity of steam 

 boiler it will take to heat the following 

 houses : 



Two rose houses, running east and 

 west, each 26x100 feet, side walls five 

 feet; houses are connected without par- 

 tition walls, and we want to keep tem- 

 perature at 62 degrees at night. 



Two carnation houses, running north 

 ind south. One is 26x100, the other 

 21x100, with side walls five feet. 



One plant house 27x100, with side 

 walls five feet. 



These three houses are all connected 

 with partition walls. We want to run 

 them with night temperature at 56 de- 

 grees. All these houses are nine feet to 

 ridge-pole, except one rose house, which 

 is fifteen feet. S. S. «. 



vVmle 2,400 square feet of radiation 

 will provide sufficient heat for these 

 houses by using low pressure steam, it 

 would not be safe or economical to in- 

 stall a boiler with less than 3,000 square 

 feet capacity. It is never wise to econo- 

 mize on the boiler, and it is economical 

 of fuel to have a boiler with .imnlc 

 capacity, rather than one which must be 

 crowded to full capacity to do the work.

PIPING TWO HOUSES. 



L have two houses each 15x90 feet, 

 connected, and running east and west. 

 They are six and one-half feet to gutter 

 ami eleven feet to ridge, and are even- 

 span. I want to have a temperature of 

 .58 to 60 degrees, using steam. 1 have

The boiler has a capacity to heat

 about three times as much as is required 

 by the two houses you have constructed.
