Stockbridge, Mass. — Superintendent

 out a number of grape vines, peach, apri-

Now that the fuel famine is broken, it 

 will be a pretty good chance to fill up the 

 coal bins against another time of need. 



A SIX-SECTION HOUSE. 



1 recently put up a greenhouse on 

 Long Island. The owner claims that 

 there is not enough heat. Although I did 

 not design or estimate the radiation, but 

 only did the work and followed plans, 

 I am getting the experience of being the 

 cat 's paw. I would like to have you tell 

 me what is wrong and how the trouble 

 can be remedied. 



The main greenhouse is 17x115 and 

 runs from northeast to southwest. The 

 north rafters are eight feet long and the 

 south ones thirteen feet long. The north 

 wall is eight feet high, entirely of con- 

 crete; the south wall is five feet high, 

 and consists of three feet of concrete 

 and two feet of glass. This house is 

 divided into six sections. 



Section No. 1, beginning at the east 

 end of the house, is 17x24 feet, is for 

 grapes and requires a temperature of 75 

 degrees. It contains fourteen runs of 

 2-inch pipes, twenty-two feet long, ar- 

 ranged in four coiis, as follows: Two 

 coils of one flow and three returns, and 

 two coils of one flow and two returns; 

 eacli is valved, as well as the two 5-inch 

 mains. All these are placed in a grated 

 pit, as the gardener said he could not 

 have them above the floor, either in the 

 center or against the walls. A heating 

 engineer said, however, that they would 

 not heat so efficiently as if placed in the 

 ordinary way. This section has glass to 

 the ground in the gable. 



In the next four sections the coils are 

 under the benches, ani each of these four 

 sections requires a temperature of 65 de- 

 grees. Section No. 2, fourteen feet long, 

 for tomatoes, contains a 4 V^ -inch main, 

 two coils of four 2-inch pipes and two 

 coils of two 2-inch pipes, each coil thir- 

 teen and one-half feet long. Section No. 

 3, twenty feet long, for cucumbers, con- 

 tains a 4-inch main, two coils of four

2-inch pipes and two coils of two 2-incli 

 ])ipcs, all seventeen feet long. Section 

 No. 4, twenty feet long, for asparagus 

 and rhubarb, contains a 3i/4-inch main, 

 two coils of four 2-inch pipes and tw( 

 coils of two 2-inch pipes, nineteen feei 

 long. Section No. 5, seventeen feet lon^. 

 for strawberries, contains a .3-inch maiii 

 two coils of four 2-inch pipes and tw 

 coils of two 2-inch pipes, fourteen fer: 

 nine inches long. 



The last section, No. 6, at the we>' 

 end of the house, is twenty feet long, i- 

 for mushrooms and requires a temper;! 

 ture of 45 degrees. It contains a coi. 

 of three 2-inch pipes, nineteen feet loni: 

 at the north wall; also three coils of tw" 

 2-inch pipes, sixteen feet eight inches 

 long. The gable in this section is gla.i^^ 

 to three feet above the floor level, and i« 

 banked to the glass line. 



There is also a violet pit in disput* ■ 

 running across the gables of existinj, 

 houses. It is divided into two parts b; 

 an entry, which has some heat. Om 

 section is thirty feet long, the other si-N 

 teen feet long, with a glass gable ex- 

 posed. 



The house is reasonably sheltered, but.
