HEATING SMALL PLACES. 



Importance of the Subject. 



The proper heating of a modern 

 greenhouse is a problem involving a 

 number of special features quite differ- 

 ent from those which pertain to almost 

 any other type of structure, A uniform 

 and constant temperature is absolutely 

 essential to success, and any plant which 

 fails to furnish this must in the end 

 cause a good deal of loss and anxiety to 

 the owner. Near Philadelphia there is a 

 single small greenhouse holding a collec- 

 tion of orchids, the value of which is 

 estimated at $50,000. 



Beliability of any heating plant for a 

 greenhouse is thus one of the most im- 

 portant considerations. In the past the, 

 heating plants of gi'eenhouses have too 

 often been chiefly a matter of makeshift, 

 and trouble has been a constant factor 

 in the situation. A good deal of this has 

 been due to the desire on the part of the 

 owner to install a heating plant as 

 cheaply as possible. In some cases sec- 

 ond-hand heaters, steam and hot water 

 pipes have been purchased and assem- 

 bled. Not being a perfect unit, the 

 plant has discouraged many owners from 

 undertaking the work the second time. 



Only the past half-dozen years, it may 

 be said, has the greenhouse heating sys- 

 tem received the attention it deserves, 

 but the construction and designing of 

 greenhouses have reached a stage where 

 comparatively excellent results can be 

 obtained. However, the tightest and 

 warmest greenhouse without an appro- 

 priate beating plant may prove worth- 

 less. 



The proper heating of a greenhouse 

 demands the best services of an expert, 

 for in our varying climate, conditions 

 are rarely the same in any number of 

 states. Moreover, the nature of the 

 stock grown must be a determining fac- 

 tor. The rapid changes in our winter 

 climate likewise require proper ventila- 

 tion and automatic control of the heat- 

 ing plant to prevent the temperature in 

 the house from injuring the plants 

 through excessive heat. Nearly as much 

 damage is done to greenhouse plants 

 from too high a temperature as from 

 too low. 



Water Best for Small Houses, 



A hot water plant properly installed 

 and equipped serves the purpose of heat- 

 ing a small greenhouse better than any 

 other system. The heat from hot water 

 circulation imparts a mild and congenial 

 warmth to the air, and at the same time

it is practically free from impurities. 

 In designing the heating apparatus for 

 a greenhouse, estimates are figured gen- 

 erally upon a basis of 55 to 60 degrees 

 to be maintained in the temperature of 

 the house in zero weather. An average 

 temperature of 150 degrees in the pipes 

 is calculated upon to secure this result.
