An Even, Continuous Fire 



is essential to flower culture. The 



magazine filleid with coal in a Self-feed- 

 ing WiiliS Boiler keeps an even and 

 continuous fire for 12 hours and longer 

 without any attention. This makes night 

 firing unnecessary.

 about our heaters, shows their economy,

 ferns, and last a propagating bench. 

 I now have a No. 22.') Hub water 

 heater. It is rated at 1,000 square 

 feet and has a 2;")-inch grate. Would 

 another heater of the same size be 

 sufficient, joining the two? G. W. H. 



If there is no glass in the side walls, 

 there should be no difficulty in main- 

 taining a temperature of 50 degrees in 

 a house 28x50 feet with 600 square feet 

 of radiation. The exact arrangement 

 of the piping would depend upon the 

 construction of the houses, but if there 

 are no posts in the houses a sijnple 

 method of piping would be. to run a 

 2i'-;-inch flow pipe on each of the Walls 

 and connect them with coils of 2-inch 

 pipes on the walls, each containing 

 eight 2-inch returns. Another method 

 would be to run a third 2V_.-inch flow 

 a couple of feet below the ridge and 

 then halve five returns on each wall 

 and five others under one or two of 

 the benches. While we have had no 

 experience with the Hub heater, the 

 size of the grate is about right for 

 the rating given and the present heater 

 should be sufficiently large to heat a 

 house of the size described.

I have purchased forty sashes, each 

 three feet two inches wide over all. 

 Twenty of them are each eight and one- 

 half feet long and the other twenty are 

 six and one-half feet long, with glass 

 eight inches wide. T have also bought
