CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



What extent of glass can be cared 

 for, here in Connecticut, by a tubular 

 boiler fifteen feet long, four feet in 

 diameter, and containing forty-four tubes 

 three inches in diameter? The boiler 

 was tested at seventy-five pounds be- 

 fore being removed to this place. Also 

 what extent of glass will the boiler carry 

 using it as a water boiler? The grate 

 is five feet long and forty-four inches 

 wide. The temperature desired is 60 

 degrees in zero weather. A. H. D. 



The boiler in question will care for 

 about 4,000 square feet of radiation, 

 which should be sufficient for about 18,- 

 000 square feet of glass at 60 degrees, 

 or five houses 20x100, heated by hot 

 water. If used on a steam basis it 

 will do considerably more — about 24,- 

 000 square feet, or seven houses 20x100.

PIPING FOR EXTENDED HOUSES. 



I have four houses, each 17x100, with 

 sides three feet high. I have a 3-inch 

 flow an^ seven 2-inch returns in each 

 house. I wish to make the houses 150 

 feet long this year. Will the 3-inch flow 

 continued be suflScient to heat the houses 

 to 45 degrees in zero weather, in this 

 New Jersey climate? If not, what 

 changes are necessary? I would like to 

 use all the old pipe. W. C. P. 



The 3-inch flow will be large enough 

 to supply the 150-foot houses on a 45- 

 degree basis. I believe, however, that 

 it will be better to install nine instead 

 of seven 2-inch returns, even in your lo- 

 cality, unless you are growing violets or 

 lettuce, which would not be injured by a 

 few degrees of cold in severe weather.

STEAM FROM DISTANT BOILER. 



I should like your opinion on some 

 piping I have in \iew, as our place is 

 a little differently situated from most 

 plants. I think Mr. Scott's idea (by 

 the way, the ' ' Florists ' Manual ' ' is well 

 worth $50 a copy to beginners, or any 

 one else, in fact, instead of $5), of car- 

 rying, say, fifty pounds of steam on 

 the boiler and reducing to two or five 

 pounds, by the use of a controlling valve, 

 is the only correct idea in point of ef- 

 ficiency. 



The Standard 

 Steam Trap 



Is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist because it is durable, and does 

 its work without trouble and annoy- 

 ance, saving: its cost by the economy 

 Id coal bills.
