CONVERTING A COIL BOILER. 



Could a box coil pipe boiler be con- 

 verted into a steam boiler for green- 

 house heating? J. L. K. 



No. I do not think it advisable to 

 attempt to construct a steam boiler for 

 greenhouse heating out of pipe coils. 

 This would be a water tube boiler which 

 would carry only a small amount of 

 water, which would make it dangerous 

 and uncertain. Water tube boilers for 

 power purposes are not usually made in 

 sizes smaller than 150 horse-power ex- 

 cept for special uses, such as the flash 

 boilers of automobiles. L. C. C. 



PIPE FOR HEATING. 



How many runs of pipe will be re- 

 quired, what size, and how best arranged 

 to heat with hot water three houses 10x80 

 feet, ridge and furrow plan, no center 

 walls? The outside walls are four feet 

 and fully exposed except for a shed on 

 the west end. The boiler is located in a 

 cellar under the shed opposite the center 

 house. The temperature is sometimes 45 

 degrees below zero. J. B. 



The three houses in question can be 

 piped as follows: If 2-inch pipe is used 

 a 21^-inch flow under each ridge can be 

 made to feed eight 2-inch returns 

 through each house, i. e., three 2^ -inch 

 flow pipes and twenty-four 2-inch returns 

 for the entire plant. If the benches are 

 so disposed as to allow placing the ra- 

 diation under them it would be well to 

 put one or two more pipes under the 

 benches next to the outside walls than 

 under the others. If the piping is to be 

 hung on the outside walls and on the 

 posts under the middle gutters, see that 

 the heavy coils are placed on the outside 

 walls. Six pipes on each outside wall 

 will be none too much, then scatter the 

 other twelve under the benches as beet 

 you can to provide the desired bottom 

 heat. L. C. C. 



TROUBLE WITH HEATING. 



I am having trouble with my heating 

 plant. My house is 19%xl25, three feet 

 to the eaves and nine feet to the ridge. 

 The boiler is twenty-seven inches by six 

 feet and has thirty-seven 1%-inch flues. 

 I have one 2 1^ -inch flow which rises six 



POTS OF QUALITY 



If we were to manufacture greenhouse pots from any other kind of clay, our argument that 

 IONIA. POTS are the BEST POTS would loose its effect. 



For 86 years the demand for them has steadily increased. Hundreds of florists use them 

 exclusively. Make up your spring order. Send it to us bow.

 the house with a gradual rise of eighteen 

 inches. The main then branches into 

 two 1%-ineh pipes, each one feeding 

 four 1^-inch returns. The returns enter 

 a manifold and return to the boiler 

 through two l^^-inch pipes. The ex- 

 pansion tank is ten feet above the boiler 

 and connects the return close to the 

 boiler. "Would this boiler be big enough 

 to heat another house the size of this 

 one? My fire-box is twenty inches in 

 diameter with a rocking grate.

You do not mention the diflSculty with 

 your heating plant, but the piping of 

 the house is at fault if you are not get- 

 ting heat enough. You have about one- 

 half enough pipe in the house for a 60- 

 degree temperature and the riser should 

 be a 3-inch instead of 2i^-inch pipe, if 

 the piping is increased. The boiler in

With regard to our Christmas busi-

 we had an average volume of trade as 

 compared with past years. There were 

 several conditions which directly opposed 

 a great business. In the first place, the 

 weather could not have been worse. For
