The Florists' Review 



Novum BBB 5, 1914. 



sVut-off valve on the top pipes and at 

 the two side benches. 



What size of boiler would be required 

 to heat the three houses and what would 

 be the best arrangement of the pipes? 

 As is indicated in the sketch, houses 

 No. 1 and No. 3 extend thirtjr feet 

 farther south than No. 2, leaving an 

 unoccupied, partly enclosed space at the 

 south end of No. 2. I thought that this 

 enclosed space would be a good location 

 for the boiler room. The present boiler 

 is under the potting shed, at the north 

 end of the houses. J. H. M. 



For heating the three houses described, 

 the dimensions of which are 12x75, 

 16x45 and 16x75, to 60 degrees under 

 the severe conditions mentioned, I 

 would advise the use of a twenty horse- 

 power steam boiler. 



To supply the required amount of 

 radiation in the houses, I would suggest 

 running a 2%-inch flow pipe about two 

 feet below the ridge of each house, with 

 twelve 1^-inch returns in each of the 

 16-foot houses and nine returns in the 

 lean-to. While it would be possible to 

 heat the houses with one or two fewer 

 returns in each, it would be found that 

 in extremely cold weather the fuel con- 

 sumption and attention needed would be 

 greatly increased. In arranging the re- 

 turns, divide tLem so that there will be 

 as nearly as possible the same number 

 under each bench and upon each of the 

 walls. 



WANTS MORE DUBABLE STACK. 



I have had trouble in getting an iron 

 smokestack that will stand soft coal 

 smoke without rusting out completely in 

 about two years. Would a stack made 

 of either sheet copper or sheet brass be 

 thus affected by the coal smoke f The 

 stack I have in mind is a low one and 

 only twelve inches in diameter; so I 

 can stand the expense if the metals men- 

 tioned will stand the use. C. L. W. 



Especially if there is much sulphur 

 in the coal, a smokestack of sheet copper 

 would not last any longer than a gal- 

 vanized sheet-iron stack of the same 

 thickness. A brass stack would prob- 

 ably last somewhat longer, but the extra 

 cost would hardly be repaid. It would 

 be decidedly preferable to put up a 

 stack of brick or reinforced concrete to 

 a height of twelve to sixteen feet. Then, 

 if the expense of carrying up the stack 

 to the desired height with the same 

 material is more than can be met, the 

 remainder can be constructed of heavy 

 vitrified tile or sewer pipe. This will 

 not only be found comparatively cheap, 

 but will last for many years.
