SIZE OF BOILER NEEDED. 



Please tell me what size of boiler, 

 Ideal make, would be ample for a house 

 48x110. The house runs north and 

 south and has 3-foot cement walls, with 

 three feet of glass above and glass in 

 the south gable. It is protected on the 

 north by a house running east and west. 

 I am located in northeastern Kansas. A 

 carnation temperature is desired. 



S. M. 



The boiler to satisfactorily heat the 

 greenhouse in question should have a 

 rated capacity of 2,000 square feet of 

 radiation. The house will require about 

 1,500 square feet of radiation, but the 

 boiler should have at least 500 square 

 feet of reserve power, to be economicaL

GREENHOUSE AND DWELLING. 



I want to heat a greenhouse 20x27 

 feet and ten feet to the ridge. The walls 

 will be four feet high and will contain 

 two thicknesses of boards, with lining 

 paper between. The house will run east 

 and west. I shall heat with hot water 

 and I want to put the boiler in the cellar 

 under my dwelling, which is six feet from 

 the greenhouse, so I will have to run the 

 flow and return six feet iinderground to 

 get to the greenhouse. I also want to 

 heat my dwelling with this same boilor. 

 The dwelling contains three rooms on the 

 first floor — one 15x15, one 12x15 and one 

 10x15 — and one room on the second floor, 

 12x15. 



Will you tell me how many 2-inch 

 pipes it will take to heat the greenhouse 

 to 52 degrees, the pipes to run under 

 both side benches and the flows and re- 

 turns to be 2-inch pipet What size of 

 radiators will be needed for the rooms 

 in the dwelling f I wish to heat the 

 dwelling to 70 degrees. Where shall I 

 place the tank and what size of boiler 

 will I want to do the work! Will this

The greenhouse in question can be 

 heated by installing 240 square feet of 

 radiation. A 2 -inch riser should be car- 

 ried from the boiler into the greenhouse, 

 then under the ridge of the house to the 

 far end, there to supply seven lines of 

 2-inch pipe under each side bench, or 

 fourteen returns in all. The dwelling^ 

 will require about seventy-five feet of" 

 radiation in the room 15x15, sixty feet 

 in each of the rooms 12x15, and fifty feet 

 in the room 10x15. L. C. C. 



SASH HOUSE FOR MUMS. 



We wish to build a house 14x36 feet, 

 running north and south and located 

 twenty feet east of a house now contain- 

 ing the boiler, from which heat must be 

 obtained for the new house. We intend 

 to use hotbed sashes, 3x7, as glass for 

 both top and sides. The house is intend- 

 ed for late mums, of such varieties as 

 White and Yellow Jones and White and 

 Yellow Chadwick. We wish to have 



ground benches. Plenty of water can 

 be given the plants and they will have 

 good drainage. We wish to heat with 

 hot water, in 2-inch pipes. 



How deep should these beds bet We 

 will plant May 1. How far apart should 

 the plants be placed, single stems, to 

 produce good bread and butter blooms f 



Should the house be covered with these 

 sashes right after planting or in early 

 fall, before frost t Should the sides as 

 well as the top be covered, or should the 

 sides be left openf 



How many lines of 2-inch pipe will be 

 required to heat this house! It will only 

 be used until all the mums are cut out, 

 and the sa^es will then be used for cold- 

 frames. At what end should the flow 

 pipe be run into the new house from the 

 house now containing the boiler f Should 

 the line of pipe be run in overhead or 

 underground! The boiler is four feet 

 below the level of the ground and is at 

 the north end of the house. How high 

 should the sides of this house bef I am 

 located in Pennsylvania. H. J. H.
