 liave the west bid feet for a cool liouso

 We intend to put tiie same amount of 

 jiipe in e;i(di jiart. but have the west 

 iiiiiise valved so we can run it cool 

 when necess.ary. 



The boiler-room and potting-slied will 

 be placi'd (111 the nortii side at the cen- 

 ter of the house, so we can run pipe lOt) 

 feet ea(di way. The two outside benches 

 will bo three feet wide, the throe cen- 

 ter bemdies five feet four imdies wide

Another system would be to use Pi^U-

 with tilt' same number of runs.

 us more room to clean the flues and

I am c;reatly interested in the plan 

 you projiose for heating your green- 

 house. If I count correctly you are 

 planning to use sixteen 4-inch ])ipes to 

 heat these houses, c(inal to 1,GU(1 lineal 

 feet of 4-iiich pipe. With water at 

 lN() degrees you should be able to main- 

 tain (id to 70 degrees of temperature in 

 these houses, with twelve runs of 4-inch 

 jiipe. But why use 4-inch pijie^' Twen- 

 ty runs of 2 imdi pipe will give you a
