The Review is glad to answer in this 

 department any inquiry with regard to 

 greenhouse heating. Give all the details 

 pf your problem, not only as a guide to 

 an intelligent answer, but so that others 

 similarly situated may derive a benefit. 



SMALL PROPAGATING HOUSE. 



What, in your opinion, is the cheap- 

 est way to heat a small greenhouse, 

 about 15x20, which I am putting up be- 

 side my dwelling house? It is intended 

 principally for geranium cuttings. I 

 have no other greenhouses near it. 1 

 have a small potting shed, 9x12, at- 

 tached to one end, and, though I never 

 heard of its being done, I thought of 

 trying to heat it with a stove in the 

 shed, or in the dwelling house itself. 

 Would this work? What wpQild you sug- 

 gest? I am located in southern Canada. 



A. K. B. 



I doubt if you will be able to main- 

 tain a satisfactory temperature in your 

 propagating house by using a stove. A 

 small hot water heating plant would, it 

 seems to me, be preferable to anything 

 else for such a place. If the green- 

 house is a lean-to attached to the dwell- 

 ing, the heater might be located in the 

 cellar of the house. It is often a great- 

 er problem to heat a small plant of this 

 character than a large one. L. C. C. 



AN UNDERGROUND SMOKE FLUE. 



I have ^ brick smokestack, eighteen 

 feet high. The inside opening is 12x12 

 inches. I should like to change my flue, 

 because my neighbors complain of too 

 much smoke. Could I run a 10-inch flue 

 underground for forty feet and then run 

 this flue into the chimney of my dwel- 

 ling house, where the flue is 9x9 inches? 

 My boiler at present draws so hard that 

 the flames come out four feet if I have 

 the dampers open. I intend to have my 

 underground pipes arranged so that I 

 can clean them out every month if neces- 

 sary. H. W. 



I have never seen a plan of this sort 

 in operation, but it appears to me to be 

 the same in principle as the flue carried 

 around a greenhouse, and such flues,
