 aghpit.

 Adam Zender. Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Seed Co., and many others.

forty-five feet or more in length. The 

 east wall is five feet high, with three 

 feet of glass; the west wall is the 

 same height, with eighteen inches of 

 glass. The house runs north and south 

 and the south end is glass, of course 

 The south end will be left in for a 

 partition, so we can heat one part 

 more than the other. We propose to 

 have the present part, 15 x 20, the 

 warmer, with a temperature of 50 de- 

 grees at night and 70 to 75 degrees in 

 the daytime. The larger and more dis- 

 tant part will be used for geraniums, 

 carnations and spring vegetable plants. 

 We will also- have sixty feet of cold- 

 frames and perhaps a temporary addi- 

 tion, 10 X 20, for vegetable seed flats, 

 heated with a coal stove. This has been 

 all right this spring, giving us thou- 

 sands of tomato and other plants in 

 fine shape, though we did not know 

 enough to make three plantings, as we 

 will next spring. J. F. T. 



The rougher the surface of the pipe, 

 the greater the amount of surface ex- 

 posed and the more heat it will radiate. 

 It is for this reason that black pipe 

 will give off more heat than pipe that 

 has been either painted or galvanized. 

 Most of the paints used upon green- 

 house heating pipes are comparatively 

 poor conductors of heat and for this 

 reason thick asphaltum paint is not de- 

 sirable for coating greenhouse pipes. 

 A fairly good paint for this purpose, 

 which will serve to prevent the rusting 

 of the pipes and also interfere little 

 with the radiation from the surface 

 of the pipes, can be made from lamp- 

 black, with equal parts of linseed and 

 kerosene oil. 



For steam heating 1 14 -inch pipe is 

 generally selected, but, unless the boiler 



The New 



"Detroit" Return Trap 



The only successful modifications in Tilting Traps made 

 in years have been embodied in the " Detroit." Improve- 

 ments in the design ai^d construction of "Detroit" Traps 



have been made 

 possible by an- 

 other recently al- 

 lowed patent con- 

 trolled by this 

 company.

 prices, advise

 feet of glass in'your 

 houses, together 

 with horse -power 

 of boiler and steam
