Where There Is 



=^ 



— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in 

 steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per- 

 fectly — return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that 

 impulse — write now.

to 300 square feet, trouble might be 

 expected unless the circulation is quite 

 rapid. The circulation could be im- 

 proved by lowering the heater below 

 the level of the returns and increasing 

 the size of the main flow and return 

 pipes to 21^-inch, but a simple method 

 of improving the circulation and pre- 

 venting the boiling over would be to 

 attach a mercury generator to the ex- 

 pansion pipe, which should be con- 

 nected with the highest point in the 

 system. 



TWO NEW CABNATION HOUSES. 



We have built two greenhouses, each 

 25x100, running east and west. The 

 sides and ends consist of four feet of 

 glass and two feet of cypress boarding. 

 The houses measure sixteen feet to the 

 ridge. We wish to grow carnations, 

 and we intend to put in a hot water 

 heating system. We should like to 

 know how many pipes should be used, 

 their size, etc. Any information will 

 be appreciated. Our location is cen- 

 tral Massachusetts. F. F. 



For a new and well-built house 25x 

 100, with four feet of glass in each 

 side wall, three 2% -inch flow pipes and 

 twelve 2-inch returns will be needed to 

 secure a temperature for carnations. 

 One flow should be under the ridge and 

 the others upon the plates. Three or 

 four of the returns can be upon each 

 wall, and the others distributed under 

 the benches or on the sides of the 

 beds. 



To connect the flow pipes with the 

 heater, run a 4-inch main to each

at S. A. F. Convention August 20, Chicago, 111.; also by the many 

 visiting florists who attended the convention: Close spacing of 

 the flues ; the long fire travel, making the water heat more 

 rapidly and giving the full benefit of the fuel ; also the ease with 

 which the boiler can at all times be INSPECTED and 

 KEPT CLEAN both inside and outside, which preserves the 

 life of all boilers.

house and put in returns of the same 

 size. Connect the highest point of 

 each main with the expansion tank and 

 give the flow pipes a fall of one inch 



in fifteen feet to the farther end of 

 the houses. If this is done, the ex- 

 pense and bother of air cocks will he 

 done away with.
