will run the entire length under the 

 bench on the wall side, with a rise of 

 about a foot and a half to a 25-foot run. 



F. 



A heater to heat the house in question 

 should be large enough if rated to carry 

 from 200 to 250 square feet of radia- 

 tion. The house should have about 140 

 square feet of radiation in it. 



L. C. C. 



A SMALL LEAN-TO. 



How much 1-inch or 2-inch pipe will 

 be required to heat to 55 or 60 degrees, 

 here in Ohio, a lean-to 12x18, with an 

 average height of nine feett It runs 

 east and west and has a south exposure, 

 with two feet of glass in the south side 

 and glass ends. The lower walls, four 

 feet high, are brick. There is a door at 

 the northeast corner. The hot water is 

 taken from a heating plant using a cir- 

 culating pressure at 140 pounds. 



J. F. S. 



I judge that if you run four lines of 

 2-inch pipe from the door the length of 

 the house and across the opposite end, 

 it will give sufficient radiation. If you 

 use 1*4 -inch pipe, five lines installed as 

 above noted will be sufficient. I should 

 not use 1-inch pipe for hot water, even 

 in so small a honse. L. C. C. 



HEAT FOR UVING ROOM. 



I am building a living room off from 

 the boiler room of the greenhouse, and 

 I desire to heat it with two radiators. 

 Will your heating expert tell me how 

 best to get right results! I heat with 

 hot water. The farthest point in the 

 greenhouse is 100 feet from the boiler, 

 while the farthest point in the living 

 room will be thirty feet. Will the sys- 

 tem be a success if the flows to the 

 radiators are on the same level with the 

 greenhouse, and the returns the same, or 

 will it be necessary to have them exactly 

 on a level! My greenhouse flow is 3-inch. 

 Should the radiator flow be the same 

 sizef I am located in Indiana. 



L. G. B. 



If you have an expansion tank several 

 feet higher than the highest pipe in the 

 greenhouse or the radiators in the living 

 room, you will be able to place the 

 radiators wherever you please, so long as 

 you do not have them lower than the 

 heater. The size of pipe usually used 

 for hot water radiators of moderate size 

 is 1^-ineh or l^^-inch. If more than 

 one radiator is to be fed from a single 

 flow, it will vary in size according to the 

 amount of radiation to be supplied. The 

 usual dwelling seldom requires more than 

 2-inch pipe. I judge that 1 14-inch or 

 1%-inch pipe will prove ample for your 

 needs. L. C. C. 



IMPERFECT CIRCULATION. 



Please let me have some information 

 on the heating of two connected houses, 

 14x20 and 20x22, four feet high at 

 the sides and eight feet to the ridge, 

 all glass. I have a No. 16 Wilks boiler. 

 Each house has one 1*4 -inch flow and 

 three 114-inch returns. There are two 

 expansion tanks, with a capacity of ten 

 and fifty gallons, respectively. They 

 are four feet above the highest flow pipe 

 and are connected at the return near the 

 boiler. Each flow pipe, at the highest 

 point, has one %-inch air escape, eight 

 feet high, and in case of hard firing will

Isn't This the Boiler You Want? 



The following tributes to the all-round efiSciency of Capitol 

 Boilers are the best advertisement for its practical merit we can pu 

 before you. Read: 



' ' The large Capitol Boiler put in my greenhouse in 1906 has 

 been well tested, and has satisfied me in every way. Needs little 

 attention, is moderate in its demand for fuel, and furnishes all the 

 heat you claimed it would, and more."— Charles W. Noethrup, 

 LaGrange, 111. 



"The Capitol Boiler has given me entire satisfaction, so much 

 80 that I purchased one more today for heating my greenhouse No. 

 2."— Herbert S. Nase, Sellersville, Pa. 



" The Capitol Boiler has given me complete satisfaction. I 

 find it to be a fine, clean boiler to fire, no coal waste, and a first- 

 class heat producer. I fully recommend it."— Bernard Katz- 

 wiNKEL, Mendota, 111. 



It is better to be safe than sorry. Put in a Capitol BoUer, because it's the 

 best boiler made for greenhouses. Any of our Branches or Sales Agencies will 

 promptly furnish you with details, suggestions, prices, etc., or write us direct.

Thermostat 



ST7IiE 1 



Diameter, A Incliea 



PRICE, $6.00 EACH 



Arranged with binding posts to 

 be connected with wires, so as to 

 ring a bell. Can be set at any 

 two points on entire scale. Espec- 

 ially adapted for Greenhouses. 



These thermostats are all right 

 and I have recommended them 

 everywhere and feel sure that 

 some sales through my talk have 

 been made. I am not now talk- 

 ing for a bonus or money, as I 

 feel the thermostat saved me from 

 being frozen out with a sleepy 

 fireman, so feel grateful. ,
