the two 2-inch pipes in the manner sug- 

 gested, which I do not think will prove 

 satisfactory, I would suggest that one 

 2-inch pipe will answer quite as well, 

 but you will find it desirable to use at 

 least twelve IMj-inch pipes for returns. 

 Do not connect the expansion tank with 

 the flow; connect it with the return close 

 to the boiler and push it up as high as 

 possible. L. C. C. 



STEAM FOR CARNATION HOUSE. 



Please give me some information as 

 to the piping of a carnation house for 

 steam, to maintain a temperature of 50 

 to 55 degrees in zero weather. The 

 house is 27x200 feet and runs east and 

 west, with a lean-to along the north side, 

 five feet wide. The height of the house 

 is six feet six inches to the gutter and 

 thirteen feet six inches to the ridge, with 

 two feet of glass in the south wall and 

 both gable ends glass. The walls will 

 be double boarded, with building paper 

 between. The boiler will be centrally 

 located on the north side. I should like 

 to have the main supply pipes large 

 enough so they will take care of another 

 house of the same size, should it be 

 wanted later. What size of cast-iron 

 boiler will be needed for the one house? 

 If another house should be needed, I 

 will get a second boiler and have the 

 two connected so that only one need be 

 used in mild weather. I want to place 

 the boiler on a level with the greenhouse, 

 and employ a steam trap. Would you 

 advise using a reducing valve? I shall

have to do all the firing alone at first. 

 Can all valves that are necessary on the 

 return pipes be placed through the center 

 walk? My location is northern Indiana. 



C. B. 



To heat the house and lean-to to a 

 carnation temperature, 50 degrees, dur- 

 ing cold weather, with steam, I would 

 suggest that you use a 4-inch main riser 

 from the boiler to the center of the 

 house and that a cross be installed at 

 that point, so as to allow carrying the 

 riser on to the next house and to also 

 provide for a 2-inch flow pipe to be car- 

 ried in either direction 100 feet to the 

 ends of the house, there to divide by 

 three or four branches to feed as many 

 coils, according to the position of the 

 pipes. The coils would carry, in all, 

 eighteen 1^,4 -inch return pipes, three of 

 which should be in the lean-to portion 

 and fifteen distributed under the benches 

 of the main house. By the use of valves 

 on the branches of the flow pipe leading 

 to the heating coils, and good globe and 

 check valves on the returns between the 

 manifold and the main return, it will 

 be easy to throw any coil out of service.

 Good Boilers 



There are other good boilers, 

 of course, but who wants only 

 a g^ood boiler? 



Now listen ! It is not a very 

 unusual occurrence for a few 

 men to make the same mis- 

 take, and keep on asserting 

 they are right (because none 

 of us like to admit we are 

 wrong), but it is not reason- 

 able to think that, say, 1000 

 men who think alike about 

 any one make of boiler, are as 

 apt to be dead wrong as only 

 50 men who pin their faith on 

 some other makes. 



The fact that the Burnham 

 boiler is heating the hundreds 

 of greenhouses it is today, 

 seems to put Bumhams in the 

 class with the 1000 men who 

 think alike, and who know 

 they haven't made any mis- 

 take. 



The Burnham is the only 

 Cast Iron Sectional Boiler 

 made especially for greenhouse 

 Work. It is the boiler that 

 has grown up with the green- 

 house business — has met its 

 demands step by step. 



It is safe to order such a 

 boiler by mail — we can ship 

 at once.
