ter to secure much more than 50 degrees 

 in zero weather in a house fourteen feet 

 •wide, with eight 2-inch pipes. Two more 

 pipes should be added, therefore, if to- 

 mato plants are to be started before 

 March 1. 



It will be best to have a boiler rated 

 to heat 300 square feet of radiation, and 

 a six horse-power boiler should be suffi- 

 cient for the purpose, but care should be 

 taken to provide one 2 1/^ -inch opening, 

 or two 2-inch openings, for the flow pipes 

 and the same for the returns. 



A PARTITIONED HOUSE. 



I am planning to build one house, 25x 

 100 feet and twelve feet high to the 

 ridge. The back wall will be six feet 

 high and the front wall four feet high, 

 with one foot of glass. The house will 

 be fully exposed to severe winds. There 

 will be an office at the west end and a 

 boiler-room at the east end, and I wish 

 to heat the office from the boiler. Can 1 

 heat at this distance economically with 

 hot water, or would it be advisable to 

 make the house only eighty feet long? 



I wish to use half of the house for 

 roses and the other half for carnations, 

 with a partition through the center. How 

 shall I arrange the piping so as to get 

 the extra heat for the roses, which will 

 be at the east end, nearest the boiler? 

 How many and what size of pipes will 

 be required? The temperature in this 

 part of North Dakota may go to 40 de- 

 grees below zero. What size of Kroes- 

 chell boiler will be needed to heat this 

 house and another one, 25x76, running 

 east from the boiler? In other words, 

 the boiler will be in the center of the two 

 houses. M, B. 



There will be no difficulty about heat- 

 ing a house 100 feet long with hot water, 

 provided 2% -inch flows and 2-inch or 

 2% -inch returns are used. 



As I understand the inquiry, there will 

 be a rose house 25x50 feet at the boiler 

 end of the house; next will come a car- 

 nation house of the same size and be- 

 yond this will be the office, of which the 

 dimensions are not given, but which it is 

 desired to heat. 



Various plans can be used to heat the 

 different parts and secure the tempera- 

 tures desired. One way would be to run 

 a 2Vi-inch flow pipe overhead through 

 the rose and carnation houses to the 

 office, provided it will not require more 

 than 400 square feet of radiating sur- 

 face. A good way to compute this is to 

 use one square foot of radiating surface 

 for each foot of exposed glass in the 

 office (supposing that there are no very 

 large windows) ; also one foot for each 

 ten feet of exposed wall surface other 

 than glass, and one foot for every 100 



A Catalogue Worth Having 



• 



Our new Boiler Catalogue is a valuable book te any florist, 

 large or small, and everybody who has a greenhouse ought to
