MEDIUM FOR HEATING. 



We expect to build another green- 

 house 30x60 feet, 4-foot sides and 13- 

 foot ridge. We expect to beat by hot 

 water, using 2-inch flow pipes and 114- 

 inch returns. How many returns will 

 we have to use to maintain a tempera- 

 ture of 55 degrees when the outside tem- 

 perature is 10 degrees below zero? 



We want to heat two such houses from 

 the same boiler, and can use either hot 

 water or steam. Which would you advise 

 us to usef Which is most economical 

 of fuel? E. S. M. 



If you have only two houses of the 

 dimensions indicated, hot water heat will 

 prove most economical. The size of pipe 

 you are purposing to use is, however, 

 much better adapted to steam than to hot 

 water heating. To heat the house 30x60 

 feet with hot water, using 2-inch risers 

 and 1^-inch returns, it will be necessary 

 to provide two 2-inch risers and twenty- 

 four 1*4 -inch return pipes. If 2-inch 

 pipe is used for both flow and return 

 pipes three 2-inch flows and fourteen 

 2-inch returns can be employed to do the 

 same work. The larger pipe will be more 

 satisfactory for hot water but the cost 

 will be considerably more than that for 

 the smaller pipe. L. C. C. 



A CXX)L HOUSE. 



I have an even-span house 18x60 run- 

 ning east and west on a slope to the 

 south. I want to build a small three- 

 quarter-span house on the north side of 

 the present structure, to be used as a 

 cool house for mums, carnations, lettuce, 

 etc., and to propagate. I plan a house 

 12x60, with a 3-foot bench on the south 

 side and a ground bed six feet wide or. 

 the north side. I have a hot water 

 boiler equal to the requirements of both 

 houses. How would you pipe? 



J. W. G. 



Your idea can bo worked out in a 

 satisfactory manner, but it will be neces- 

 sary to provide good drainage along the 

 north side of the house, so as to keep 

 the solid bed along the north wall warm 

 and dry. To accomplish this it will be 

 wise to make an excavation that will 

 provide drainage at least eighteen inches 

 below the surface of the solid bed. This 

 should have tile or stone in it so as to 

 care for all moisture that may find its

 Surface drains can also be provided as 

 an additional safeguard to the house. 



The lieating for the house can be ar- 

 ranged as follows: The elevated bench, 

 which will be used as ■ the propagating 

 bed, will require bottom heat, and can 

 be piped by using a tlow and two re- 

 turns under the elevated bench, and a 

 flow and three returns on the north wall. 

 This is planned for 2-inch pipe.
