of concrete four inches thick, with the 

 south wall about eight or ten inches 

 above the ground and the north wall 

 six inches higher. The beds should be 

 about five and one-half feet wide in- 

 side, 80 that they can be covered by a 

 6-foot sash. To heat such a hotbed, 

 run a lV4-inch pipe along the north 

 wall and return it along the south wall, 

 giving it a slight slope all the way. 



A MASSACHUSETTS BANGE. 



Wishing to change the heating plant 

 in my greenhouses, I am sending you 

 a diagram of them and wish you would 

 reply as soon as convenient. Please 

 let me know, by number of house, the 

 radiation you think each house re- 

 quires for a night temperature of 5.5 

 degrees. State also what size of boiler, 

 in radiation, it will be necessary to use, 

 without having to rush it. G. H. W. 



The diagram shows five houses, ar- 

 ranged about three sides of the boiler 

 room. House No. 1 is 12 x 40 feet and 

 six feet to the ridge, with one 4-foot 

 wall exposed. To heat this house with 

 hot water, run one 2-inch flow pipe 

 upon each wall, at the plate, and use 

 three 2-inch returns on the inner wall 

 and four on the outer wall.

 eral styles before choosing. The more you investigate the mere sure 

 it is that you'll buy the Superior Standard. It was designed spec- 

 ially for greenhouse work after a close study of what was needed. It 

 is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but 

 —more flues give more heat ; more flues require less fuel ; the water 

 heats quicker and hotter because the volume of water heated by each 

 flue is smaller. All we ask is a chance to show you.
