Tells the Story 



This represents the total greenhouse area served by 



Morehead Tilting 

 Return Steam Traps 



and furnishes the most convincing argument in favor of its 

 installation in connection with modern greenhouse heating 

 systems. The Morehead is an automatic trap especially 

 designed for florists and greenhouse owners. Insures an 

 absolutely free circulation under all conditions and will return 

 the condensation to the boilers with but a slight drop in tem- 

 perature. Write for our handsome Florists' Booklet.

PIPING IN WASHINGTON STATE. 



How long a greenhouse twenty-seven 

 feet wide, with concrete walls seven feet 

 high, will a fifteen horse-power traction 

 engine boiler heat? What size of con- 

 nections, and how many, would you put 

 on it for using hot water? E. G. S. 



The boiler in question should be suffi- 

 cient to heat a house of the cross-section 

 mentioned, 150 feet in length, to 60 de- 

 grees by using sixteen lines of 2-inch 

 pipe the length of the house. Three of 

 the sixteen lines can be used as flow 

 pipes, while thirteen are used as re- 

 turns. L. C. C. 



HOT VATER FOR FOUR HOUSES. 



I have three connected greenhouses, 

 running north and south. Two of them 

 are each 20x80 feet, with sides five feet 

 two inches high, sashbars approximately 

 twelve feet, and no glass in the sides. 

 The other house, which is on the east 

 side, is 15x75, with sides five feet two 

 inches high, sashbars eight feet, about 

 twenty-five feet of glass on the east side. 

 Extending east and west, along the south 

 end of the three houses, is a shed 7x55. 

 At the south side of the shed, and run- 

 ning parallel with it, I propose to build 

 another house, 28x70, with the sides five 

 feet two inches high, and with the south 

 sashbars eighteen feet long and the north 

 sashbars fourteen feet and a half long. 

 There will be glass on the south side

two feet high the entire length of this 

 house, and glass in both gables above 

 the line of the gutters. 



Please advise me as to the best way 

 of heating the whole range. At present 

 the boilers are located at the north end 

 of the houses, but I wish to move them 

 round to the east side, not fsir from 

 the south end of the east house. I 

 should prefer to use hot water, if it is 

 not too far to carry it into the west 

 house. The doors at the south end of 

 the houses, opening into the shed, would 

 interfere with the pipes unless they were 

 carried under the floor. Please state the 

 number and size of pipes that would be 

 required to heat to 60 degrees in zero 

 weather, in eastern New York.

house will make the piping of the plant 

 rather awkward. If it were possible to 

 widen the shed between the new and 

 old houses and install the heating plant 

 in the shed, it would ' simplify the heat- 

 ing considerably. However, if the main 

 riser is carried through this shed, the 

 two houses 20x80 and the house 15x75 

 can easily be provided for. An indepen- 

 dent 3-inch flow can be carried from the 

 boiler house to the east end of the new 

 house, then through the house to the 

 west end and return by eighteen 2-inch 

 returns. Each of the houses 20x80
