Greenhouse Heating. 



The growers who bought their smoke- 

 less coal during the early summer, as ad- 

 vised at the time in this column, are a 

 good many dollars ahead of the game. 

 Pocahontas mine run advanced last week 

 to $1.50 at the mouth of the mine. It 

 is a record price for this time of year, 

 but the big dealers say they are in posi- 

 tion to accept only a limited amount of 

 business even at this figure. 



PIPING A CABNATION HOUSE. 



I have a carnation house, 33x132 feet, 

 ■with four feet of glass in each side 

 wall, above three feet of 8-inch con- 

 crete wall, and with both ends of glass. 

 How shall I pipe it for hot water, so as 

 to secure a night temperature of 55 de- 

 grees when the mercury drops to 20 de- 

 grees below zero? I am located in the 

 eastern part of New York state. There 

 are five solid beds in the house and the 

 boiler pit is four feet deep. J. L. Y. 



Use five 2%-inch flow pipes, placing 

 one on each plate, one under the ridge 

 and the others under the upper purlins, 

 if there are two on each side. With the 

 flows on the plates supply three 2-inch 

 returns on each wall; the flows under 

 the purlins will each carry three re- 

 turns to run along the ends and down 

 the sides; with the ridge flow supply 

 three returns to be carried in the 

 walks. 



INSTALL A SEPARATE MAIN. 



I should like to get some informa- 

 tion in regard to heating a small house 

 with hot water, in this Pennsylvania 

 climate. The house is 12x42 and eight 

 and one-half feet high to the ridge. 

 The sides are five feet high, with two 

 feet of glass in one wall and the rest 

 boarded. The house runs north and 

 south and the boiler shed adjoins it at 

 the northwest corner. The north end 

 of the house 'R tiehtly boarded, except 

 that it contains one window sash. 



I am thinking of running a 2-inch 

 main to this house, from the 3-inch 

 main which goes into the other house, 

 26x100. From the 2-inch main I would 

 run two 2 inch flows overhead, each 

 feeding two runs of 2-inch pipe on the 

 sides^ making in all six runs of 2-inch

MT Many satisfied patrons say that our Maryd Num- 

 ber One Buckwheat (Anthracite) and Abrams 

 Creek Minerun (Bituminous) coals are particularly 

 suitable for heating Greenhouses. Abrams Creek coal 

 is about as near smokeless as a Bituminous coal 

 can be.

pipe. Will this give 50 degrees in zero 

 weather? The house will be planted 

 to sweet peas. I have enough 1%-inch 

 pipe for two runs of returns in case the 

 six lines of 2-inch would not be enough. 

 How should these be arranged, if I 

 must use themf 



Would a 3-inch main be better than 

 the 2-inch main to go across into the 

 small house? That would be attaching 

 a 3-inch main to another 3-inch main — 

 the main that goes into the larger 

 house. Would that check the heating 

 of the larger house in any wayf I
