The Wcddy Rorists' Review. 



Febbdaby 18, 1909. 



sixty or seventy gallons. There is a 

 zigzag flue up through, for coal smoke, 

 but I intend to fill this flue with old 

 brick and use gas for fuel. 



The boiler will be in the cellar of my 

 dwelling, with a flow pipe from the top 

 of the boiler to the far or east end, 

 under the bench against the north wall 

 and halfway across the end, where it 

 will connect with the returns, two under 

 the bench with the flow and three under 

 the other, all connected to one main re- 

 turn, which will drop to the bottom of 

 the boiler. There will be a barrel ex- 

 pansion tank, with a capacity of twenty 

 or thirty gallons, in the attic, twenty 

 feet above the boiler, and connected to 

 the return at the boiler with %-inch 

 pipe. All the other pipes, both flow pipe 

 and returns, will be li4-infh. I will 

 connect both the flow and the main re- 

 turn with smaller nipples, as the boiler- 

 holes are small. 



I am located in southwestern Pennsyl- 

 vania and want a temperature of 55 or 

 60 degrees in zero weather. C. D. 



I think it would be better to tap 

 the boiler out so as to allow the use 

 of a ll^-inch main flow and at least 

 a 11^ -inch return. I should carry a 

 11/4 -inch flow under the ridge of the 

 house to the far end and take off 

 branches to feed four l^^-inth returns 

 under each side bench. In other respects 

 the plant is all right. L. C. C. 



Newell, W. Va. — John Godwin will 

 have a greenhouse built at Grant and 

 Third streets. 



AsHEViLLE, N. C. — The old Deake 

 property, which was purchased some time 

 ago by Dr. E. W. Grove, is now under- 

 going such transformations as are neces- 

 sary to make it a part of Dr. Grove's 

 residential park. The plans for the work 

 were prepared by the landscape artists 

 of the Biltmore Nursery. The Deake 

 greenhouses will be demolished.

The problem of findlnsr room for bedding: plants is solved by the use o f 

 Cold Frames. It is poor economy to overcrowd your greenhouse with plants 

 that are better off outside, in cold frames, where they soon become sturdy 

 and in fit condition to plant or market. The capacity of any greenhouse caa 

 easily be doubled by building Cold Frames to care for the "overflow."
