«: Great Grates. 



As fast as old grate bars are burned 

 out many growers are putting in the 

 Martin rocking grate. The call for this 

 grate is largely increased by the fact 

 that the growers who have used it for 

 one or more seasons are almost without 

 exception equipping other boilers with 'it. 

 The grate costs considerably more than 

 the stationary bars, but is figured to 

 make a decided saving in fuel, and that 

 is what all the growers are after.

built over it, besides the pit is only 

 twenty-two feet long. About what horse- 

 power do we need and what style of pip- 

 ing would be best for carnations in a 

 mild climate? What we want is eflScient 

 heat without too much expense. 



S. B. S. & Co. 



The three houses can be successfully 

 heated with low pressure steam by using 

 a 2-inch flow under the ridge of each 

 house and five 1%,-inch returns, i. e., 

 three 2-inch flow pipes and fifteen 1%- 

 inch returns for the whole plant. 



A boiler rated as fifteen horse-power, if 

 provided with 340 square feet of heat- 

 ing surface, will be ample to heat this 

 range of houses and another similar to 

 it. A horizontal tubular boiler eight 

 feet long, thirty-six inches in diameter, 

 with 340 square feet of heating surface, 

 will be large enough for the two banks 

 of houses. Steam is more economical to 

 install, and cheaper fuel can be used, but 

 a fireman must be constantly in attend- 

 ance. L. C. C. 



THREE SMALL HOUSES. 



•Will a 3-inch overhead flow and five 2- 

 inch returns heat a house 14x34 feet, 5- 

 foot walls, 9-foot ridge, north side board-

I have a house adjoining this on the 

 south, which is 14x42 feet, 9-foot ridge, 

 four feet of glass in the south wall, six 

 feet of glass in both gables. Will a 3- 

 inch flow and six 2-inch returns main- 

 tain 58 degrees in this bouse? 



How much piping is needed for a 

 lean-to on the south of these houses, 

 12x42, 2-foot wall and 5-foot ridge? 



L. C. B. 



The house 14x34 should have nine 

 runs of 2-inch pipe to supply the de- 

 sired heat, or if instead of using a 2- 

 inch flow, which is ample, you desire to 

 use the 3-inch flow, then eight 2-inch 

 pipes in addition will be ample. The 

 piping for the house 14x42 feet should 

 be the same as above stated, as far as 

 size and number of pipes are concerned. 

 The lean-to house 12x42 can be heated 

 by seven lines of 2-inch pipe, one of 

 which can be used as a flow pipe.

used as a throttle valve, one that is set 

 to allow a certain amount of steam to 

 pass into the greenhouse, whether the 

 steam pressure on the boiler is thirty 

 pounds or eighty pounds? J. C. 



Yes, there are controlling valves for 

 this purpose. We have one that re- 

 duces a pressure of sixty pounds in the 

 boiler to one or more pounds pressure 

 in the heating system. It has answered 

 the purpose admirably. It never has 

 been out of order or cost a penny for re- 

 pairs in four years. It was recommend- 

 ed to us by the Lake View Rose Gar- 

 dens, Jamestown, N. Y., who claimed it 

 saves them a third in fuel. It assured- 

 ly has many advantages for the florist 

 who heats with steam. The only address
