what size of boiler will be needed? Here, 

 in southeastern New Hampshire, the tem- 

 perature is seldom 15 degrees below zero. 

 I want a house for a general line of 

 plants for spring sales. I. F. 



For a house of this length it is always 

 best to use 2-inch pipe for the returns 

 and 2%-inch for the flows, but with the 

 deep boiler pit fairly good results should 

 be secured with l^-inch pipe in the re- 

 turns. 



It will require about 650 square feet 

 of radiation to furnish a temperature of 

 60 degrees, and for this it will be advisa- 

 ble to use a boiler with a radiation rating 

 of 800 to 900 square feet. For the 

 radiating surface use four 2-inch flows 

 and twelve l^-inch returns. Instead of 

 this, three 2%-inch flows and eight 2-inch 

 returns could be used with better results. 

 Connect the expansion tank with the 

 main return. 



A KENTUCKY RANGE. 



I have leased a small range in Ken- 

 tucky. It consists of one house, 18x100, 

 in carnations; one house, 18x100, in 

 chrysanthemums and sweet peas, and one 

 house, 16x100, in roses. The houses are 

 four feet to the gutters and ten feet to 

 the ridge. They are heated with a lOsec- 

 tion hot water boiler, with a grate sur- 

 face 20x32 inches. The piping is all 

 2-inch in the houses. In the carnation 

 house there are twelve runs of pipe; in 

 the mum house, ten runs of pipe, and in 

 the rose house, eight runs. All the pipe 

 is underneath the side benches, and in 

 the carnation and mum houses the pipes 

 have a drop of sixteen to eighteen inches 

 in the 200 feet of piping. In the rose 

 house the pipe runs uphill about sixteen 

 inches in the 100 feet and drops back 

 about the same amount. 



Is the boiler large enough to carry 

 these three houses? How much more pip- 

 ing, if any, is necessary in these re- 

 spective houses to maintain 50 degrees in 

 the carnation house, 45 degrees in the 

 mum house and 60 degrees in the rose 

 house? What plan would you recommend 

 for the heating of these houses? 



F. W. M. 



In determining the capacity of a hot 

 water heater a good deal depends upon 

 the efl5ciency of the fire surface, and 

 -without knowing this it is not pospiVle to
