Greenhoose Heating. 



HEAT FOR FOUR HOUSES. 



We are erecting a range of green- 

 houses, four in number, for vegetables. 

 One of them is 36x100 feet, and the other 

 three are each 28x100. They measure 

 five feet to the gutters and twelve feet 

 to the ridges. They are all connected 

 and have glass gables at one end. All 

 solid benches. We should like to know 

 how much piping will be required for hot 

 water, to heat to GO degrees here, in 

 Kansas, with the weather sometimes get- 

 ting as cold as 15 degrees below zero. 

 Could all the piping be overhead and pro- 

 duce as good results as when the flows 

 are overhead and the returns near the 

 ground? S. B. 



Your houses can be heated by placing 

 a part of the radiation on the side walls, 

 and a part over the benches, or on the 

 supporting posts. If lettuce is to be the 

 crop chiefly grown, this arrangement wiir 

 be quite satisfactory. The pipes above 

 the benches should be about eighteen 

 inches or twenty inches above the surface 

 of the soil. The four houses, if piped 

 with 2-inch pipe, will require fifty-five 

 lines of pipe, eighteen in the 36-foot 

 house, twelve in each of the two protected 

 houses and thirteen in the exposed 28-foot 

 house. A 3-inch flow in each house will 

 be large enough to supply the radiation 

 for each, if water under pressure is used. 



A good plan would be to carry an inde- 

 pendent 3-inch flow under the ridge of 

 each house and return through the speci- 

 fied number of 2-inch pipes in each build- 

 ing. To balance things up a little, it 

 would be better to use a 3% -inch flow in 

 the 36-foot house, connect the expansion 

 tank to the main return close to the boiler 

 and elevate it twenty feet or more if 

 possible. L- C. C. 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



West Michigan State Fair. 



Wet, raw weather, necessitating night 

 firing to keep mildew off the roses, is the 

 kind we have had the past couple of 

 weeks. Last week, while the West Mich- 

 igan Fair was in progress here, it rained 

 the first part of the week, including 

 Wednesday, the usual big day, and a 

 financial failure seemed to be in pros- 

 pect, but clearing and warmer weather 

 Thursday brought out a record-breaking 

 crowd, insuring the management against 

 loss. The fioral display was ahead of 

 previous years. There were three ex- 

 hibitors, the Grand Rapids Floral Co., 

 Crabb & Hunter and Charles Chadwick. 

 Eli Cross made the entries, but for some 

 reason did not exhibit. 



The floral designs were large and well 

 made. Crabb & Hunter had a broken 

 wheel, made of roses, rubrum lilies and 

 swainsona. It took first premium. 

 Charles Chadwick had a 5-foot crescent 

 and lyre on a stand, the lyre filled solid 

 with pink roses, the crescent with roses
