PIPING ON PAanC COAST. 



1 am about to build a greenhouse for 

 general purposes. The house will be 18x 

 30 feet, six feet high from floor to eaves 

 and ten feet from floor to ridge. The 

 benches will be three feet and a half 

 from the floor. There will be a central 

 bench, six feet wide; the two side 

 benches and the two paths will be each 

 three feet wide. Please give me direc- 

 tions as to how to pipe for hot water. I 

 would prefer the overhead system for 

 the flows, as the low-lying ground and 

 the heavy rains in winter make it impos- 

 sible to sink the boiler far. My location 

 is about 400 miles north of San Francis- 

 co and nine miles inland. D. M. 



One 2-inch flow placed under the ridge 

 and eleven 2-inch returns will be suffi- 

 cient to care for the house in question. 

 If you do not wish to use a single flow 

 under the ridge two 2-inch flows can be 

 used, returning through ten 2-inch re- 

 turns, five returns to each flow.

INTEREST IN ROCKING GRATE. 



Peter Weiler, president of the Supe- 

 rior Machine & Boiler Works, says that 

 practically every florist whom he meets, 

 and he has a large business connection 

 with the trade, asks about rocking 

 grates. He says they all want to know 

 how they work, what their advantages 

 are, and particularly if it is true that 

 they save coal consumption. Mr. Weiler 

 says that one of the great advantages 

 of a rocking grate is that it has less 

 space between the bars than do the old- 

 style grates. For liis own part he long 

 has made a special stationary grate, re- 

 ducing the space from %-inch to 

 %-inch, and thereby attaining a saving 

 with no loss in the efficiency of the grate. 

 Mr. Weiler says that in his opinion there 

 is no rocking grate superior to the Mar- 

 tin grate, which a considerable number 

 of florists are using.
