 Review also contains much of interest 

 with regard to the heating system of the

HOT WATER FOR ONE HOUSE, 



"Will your greenhouse heating export 

 kindly advise me how to pipe for hot 

 water, in this Illinois climate, a green- 

 house 27V2X6U feet, twelve feet to the 

 ridge, running north and south, with 

 side walls five feet high? I contemplate 

 using either a Wilks or a Tobasco boil- 

 er. This house is to be used for grow- 

 ing violets. E. E. 



With the amount of radiation neces- 

 sary in this house, 1 judge your best 

 plan will be to run a single ;?-inch flow 

 from the boiler to the far end of the 

 house and there divide by 2-inch pi{)es 

 to supply thirteen 2-inch returns, three 

 under each bench, except the side bench 

 on the coldest side. wh(>re there should 

 be four. The boiler should have a rated 

 capacity for 800 to 1,000 square feet of 

 radiation. 1^. C C 



BOILER TOO LARGE. 



I have four greenhouses to heat, of tiie 

 following sizes: One 12x7.5 feet, two 21 x 

 75 feet each, and one 27xG5 feet. These 

 houses I expect to heat from one boiler, 

 using hot water. Since, in this section of 

 South Carolina, I am so far away from 

 the manufacturers who make a specialty 

 of greenhouse boilers, the freight would 

 necessarily be very high on them, so I de- 

 cided to look around for a good second- 

 hand tubular boiler, and having found one 

 rated at forty horse-power, I am anxious 

 to know whether it will pay me better to 

 get one rated at about twenty horse- 

 power, even though the cost is more. Can

For instance, QUICK REPAIRS— made 

 poaeible by the Divided Section. No delay. 

 If a breakage occurs the half section can be 

 removed, the openings plugged, the broken 

 section replaced to form the firepot, and the 

 boiler keeps right on working. This change 

 can be made before the general temperature 

 of the greenhouse is reduced more than a few 

 degrees. 



The florist will realize what this means. Let 

 us send illustjated catalog, describing the 



strong advantages of Capitol Boilers for Florists. Just know for yourself. 



We will leave the rest to your own business judgment.

 boiler is well incase<l with brick, will the 

 cost of fuel be more by usiug this large 

 boiler? What is your advice? .1. N. 11. 



I doubt if it would be advisable to 

 install a forty horse-power boiler for 

 heating the present range of houses. A 

 twenty horse-j)o\ver V)oiler, or one having 

 about 290 square feet of heating surfsu'e. 

 should be ample foe your present needs. 

 The larger quantity of water to be raised 

 to the temperature desired in the system 

 is the handicap of the large boiler. If,
