shows this statement to be a fact:

Write the Keview about your heating 

 troubles ; state the details, giving a little 

 sketch of the way your houses are laid 

 out, and we will give you the benefit in 

 this department of the suggestions of one 

 of the best greenhouse heating engineers 

 in the country. 



The consolidation of the American 

 Blower Co., Detroit, and the Sirocco En- 

 gineering Co., New York, the two largest 

 firms in their line, is of much impor- 

 tance to the heating ajid ventilating 

 trades, and of interest to florists, as 

 many are using steam traps purchased of 

 the American Blower Co. 



HOUSES AT RIGHT ANGLES. 



My house No. 1 is 23x50. It runs 

 east and west, with the boiler in the east 

 end. The main is 2% -inch. There are 

 two flows, each 2-inch. There are six 

 1%,-inch returns on the north side and 

 four 114 -inch returns on the south side. 

 There is plenty of heat and the boiler has 

 plenty of extra capacity. 



My house No. 2 is 16x130 and runs 

 north and south. How can I best pipe 

 this? Shall I use one flow or two? How 

 many and what size of returns will be 

 needed? Would I need any gates to cut 

 off heat, as I want house No. 2 to he 

 5 degrees cooler than house No. 1 1 ' It 

 is never very cold here, in southern 

 Georgia. Our coolest temperature is 

 about 20 degrees above zero, two or three 

 times during the winter. T. G. 



As I understand your statement, the 

 question is how to heat the bouse 16x130, 

 which stands at right angles to the other

house. The house 16x130 can be heated 

 by carrying one 2^ -inch flow from the 

 boiler down house No. 1 to a point under 

 the ridge of No. 2, then to the far end 

 of No. 2, and there feeding eight 1^^,- 

 inch returns placed under the benches or 

 upon the side walls. An independent re- 

 turn should also be provided for this 

 house. It should be the same size as the 

 flow. This is calculated for a tempera- 

 ture of 45 degrees, in an outside tem- 

 perature of 20 degrees. L. C. C. 



PROVIDENCE, R. L 



The Market 



Business has been somewhat freaky 

 during the last few weeks, the demand 

 for cut flowers having been spasmodic. 

 There have been a number of funerals at 

 which the floral displays were large, but 

 these have been so scattered and the or- 

 ders for designs so divided among the 

 dealers that few have experienced any 

 great activity. 



And then you figrure out 

 that because it's a Sec- 

 tional with short tie bolts

will cost less to install. 



You like the idea of being: 

 able to enlarge it — you 

 know it can be done with- 

 out changing the piping — 

 you are convinced that it 

 is the boiler for you to buy.
