Greenhouse Heating. 



The Fuel Directory in this iasue of 

 The Review occupies five pages. 



Smokeless coals are not to be had 

 except at the full circular price or at 

 some advance. The conditions in the 

 anthracite market are such that many 

 who have burned hard coal are trying 

 the smokeless soft coals and the pro- 

 ducers of these feel so confident of an 

 unusually strong demand this autumn 

 that they are not at all anxious to sell 

 except at advancing prices. 



TWO FLORIDA HOUSES. 



Will you let me know which will be 

 the cheaper for me to install in my two 

 greenhouses, a hot water or steam sys- 

 tem! One of the houses is 32x37, six 

 feet high to the eaves and fourteen 

 feet to the ridge, with thirty inches of 

 glass in the sides and no gables. This 

 house runs approximately east and west, 

 though not exactly so. The other house 

 adjoins it on the south side and runs 

 north and south. It is 28 x 75, six feet 

 high to the eaves and twelve feet to 

 the ridge, with thirty inches of glass 

 in one side. The boiler is located at 

 the southeast comer of the smaller 

 house, and is thus at the junction of 

 the two houses. How much piping 

 should be placed in each house, and 

 where! My idea was to run a main 

 overhead to the west end of the house 

 32 X 37 and back on the side walls, and 

 also a main to the south end of the 

 other house and back on the side walls. 

 The lowest outside temperature in this 

 part of Florida is 20 to 30 degrees 

 above zero. H. V. B. 



While hot water costs rather more to 

 install, it requires less care than steam 

 and hence is generally preferred for 

 small ranges, and would be better 

 adapted for conditions in Florida. 



The temperature desired is not stated, 

 but for 60 degrees at night, when it 

 is slightly below freezing outside, in 

 the house 32x37 feet use two 2%-inch 

 flows on the walls and five 2-inch re- 

 turns on each wall underneath. In the 

 house 28 x 75 feet, use two flows and 

 nine returns of the foregoing sizes, 

 placing five of them on the side where 

 there is glass in the wall. 



LABQEB PIPE IS PREFESABLE. 



We have two greenhouses, each 25x 

 92, running east and west. The south 

 house has forty-two inches of glass in 

 the south wall and both ends are glass. 

 The north house has solid walls, except
