HEAT FOR GERANIUM HOUSE. 



I am building a greenhouse, 10x100 

 feet, and wish to heat it with hot water. 

 The house has brick walls four feet high 

 and measures seven feet to the ridge. 

 What size of flow pipe under the ridge, 

 and how many feet of 4-inch pipe under 

 the benches, will be required to heat 

 this house for geraniums, in this Michi- 

 gan climate? Should the pipes that con- 

 nect the flow to the returns be the same 

 size as the flow? J. B. 



If you wish to use 4-inch pipe, which I 

 should not do unless I had the pipe on 

 hand, the house in question should be 

 provided with five lines of pipe, using 

 one flow and four returns, or, if you 

 prefer, two flows and three returns. If 

 you use one flow, it can be used to 

 feed a manifold containing three re- 

 turns on one side of the house and one 

 on the same side as the flow. If two 

 flows are used, they may serve one side 

 and one may be divided to feed two re- 

 turns on the opposite side, while the 

 other may be carried entirely around the 

 house. Neither of these schemes is as 

 good, in my judgment, as to use 2-inch 

 and 3-inch malleable pipe, placing a 

 3-inch riser under the ridge and four 

 2-inch returns under each side bench, 

 fed from the one riser. The riser would 

 be carried from the boiler to the far end 

 of the house and there divided by 2Vj- 

 inch or 3-inch pipe to feed a manifold 

 on each side containing four 2-inch re- 

 turns. Then you would connect an ex- 

 pansion tank by means of a %-inch or 

 1-inch pipe to the main return close to 

 the boiler, and carry it twelve or fifteen 

 feet above the highest point in the 

 system. L- C. C. 



CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



Will an eighty-five horse-power, 

 brick-set steam boiler be large enough 

 to economically heat a modern green- 

 house plant, covering 35,000 square feet 

 of land? B. H. I. 



An eighty-five horse-power boiler 

 should have capacity to supply steam 

 for about 8,800 square feet of radia- 

 tion. From the data given I cannot say

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advaatage 

 of the same, mast be possessed with good judgment and are generally sac- 

 cessfnl. One of oar successful growers has this year taken oat 6ooo feet of 

 wooden gutters, which were o nly 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet 

 of the GARLAND IRON GUTTSR, this being his fifth annaal order. 



Oar long list of orders of this kind is oar best reference. By writing any oi 

 the large growers at Chicago yoa will confer a favor on the
