The bureau of plant industry, U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, has in con- 

 templation a study of the various sys- 

 tems of greenhouse heating as the basis 

 for a bulletin on the subject. 



STEAM FOR COMPLETE RANGE. 



My greenhouses all run east and west, 

 and are situated on the south slope of 

 a hill in eastern Minnesota. All are set 

 well into the hillside and thoroughly well 

 banked. 



House No. 1, which is on the lowest 

 part of the hillside, is 12x104 feet, and 

 seven feet and a half to the ridge. It 

 is a violet house, has wood walls three 

 feet high and is now piped for hot water, 

 with a 2% -inch pipe on one side and 

 three I'/a-inch returns on the other. The 

 boiler-room is at the west end of this 

 house. 



At the north side of the boiler-room, 

 and extending part way along the north 

 side of House No. 1, is House No. 2, 

 joined at its east end by a narrower 

 house, House No. 3, which also extends 

 eastward, parallel with the east part of 

 House No. 1. Thus Houses No. 2 and 

 No. 3, standing end to end, extend the 

 full length of the boiler-room and House 

 No. 1. 



House No. 2 is 24x75 feet, and four- 

 teen feet to the ridge. It is even-span 

 and has cement walls, banked or pro- 

 tected, with two feet of glass between 



the wall and the gutter on the south side. 

 I wish to pipe for steam, maintaining 

 a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees. 



House No. 3 is 14x53 feet. Its south 

 wall is cement and protected, with two 

 feet of glass between the top of the wall 

 and the gutter. The north wall is the 

 side of a warehouse in part, and the bal- 

 ance is wood, made thoroughly warm 

 and banked. I wish to heat with steam 

 to 45 or 50 degrees. 



Extending northward from House No. 

 3 are two warehouses, the combined 

 length of which is sixty-six feet, and at 

 the north end of the warehouses is a 

 lean-to greenhouse, 12x42 feet. There 

 is also an oflBce at the northwest corner 

 of the warehouses. The two warehouses, 

 oflSce and lean-to greenhouse will not be 

 used during the cold winter months. The 

 lean-to greenhouse faces a much fre- 

 quented street and is intended merely for 

 a display room during the spring, sum- 

 mer and early fall. I wish to run pipe 

 enough, the length of the warehouses, to 

 reach the office and lean-to greenhouse, 

 so as to supply the necessary heat during 

 the spring weather. 



Can the pipes now in House No. 1 be 

 used for return steam, from the flow 

 pipe in Houses No. 2 and No. 3, and get 

 heat suflScient for violets? Also kindly 

 suggest the size, and style or type of 

 boiler which would be most suitable, and 

 which would also have capacity for an 

 additional house, to be erected another 

 season, a duplicate of House No. 2.
