sixteen lines of 2-inch pipe to supply 

 sufficient radiation to maintain the tem- 

 perature desired. It will be advisable to 

 use three lines in each house as risers, 

 and the thirteen returns in as many coils 

 as there are risers for each house; that 

 is, two coils of four pipes each and one 

 with five. Such a plant will require a 

 boiler with about 400 square feet of 

 heating surface. You can place the ex- 

 pansion tank in any convenient location, 

 provided it is fifteen or twenty feet above 

 the heating pipes and connected with the 

 main return near the boiler. F. E. 



RESIDENCE AND GREENHOUSES. 



For the sake of convenience and econ- 

 omy, we should like to heat our residence 

 and greenhouses with the same plant. The 

 residence is 30x45 and two stories high. 

 The first story measures ten feet to the 

 ceiling, and the second story nine feet. 

 Twenty feet to the north of the residence 

 i^ a greenhouse, 20x35 and five feet to 

 the caves. At the southwest corner of 

 the residence is a conservatory, 16x16, 

 which we will replace with a greenhouse 

 ] 8x35. extending to the walk. The smoke- 

 stack is forty-five feet in height and the 

 line is about 10x14 inches. We shall use 

 water heat. We are located in northern 

 Kansas and want ordinary greenhouse 

 temperature. A. J. K. 



To heat the two floors of the dwelling 

 will require about 675 square feet of 

 radiation. For a temperature of 60 de- 

 grees in the greenhouses, it will be de- 

 sirable to use 280 square feet of radiation 

 in the house 20x35 feet, and 250 feet in 

 the house 18x35 feet. In order to obtain 

 economical coal consumption, a boiler 

 with a rating of 1,500 square feet should 

 be used. 



For heating the house 20x35 feet, use 

 one 2i/.-inch flow pipe and twelve 2-inch 

 returns; or, if it is preferred to have 

 flow pipes on the side walls, use three 

 2i,l>-inch flows and nine 2-inch returns. 

 In the other house, three flows and eight 

 returns will be needed. 



The flue is of ample size and height 

 for the amount of radiation required.

Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill? 



= INSTALL == 



A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. 



Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utica, N. Y., voluntarily writes:— 



" I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from you 

 last fall is by tar the best apparatus lor greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare 

 my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of 

 this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than 

 the winter before. ^ 



" There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as It keeps a uniform 

 heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off plpesr And I find that my 

 Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so 

 imlform at all times. 



■■ My reason for writing you Is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my 

 attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine." 



Are not facts like these worth an 

 investigation ?

HAVE YOU EVER 



■■^^^'^ 



talked with a brother florist who uses Morehead Return Steam Traps? If not, do 

 so at the first opportunity and be convinced that you must install one at once. 



There are more MOREHEAD TRAPS ioetalled 

 in greenhouses than of all other makes of 

 steam traps combined. The Morehead is 

 distinctly a florists' trap. Every feature of 

 its construction has been treated with a view 

 of meeting the special needs of the florist.

''DETROIT" AUTOMATIC RETURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been using two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity System 

 and find they keep the pipe clear of conden- 

 sation, therefore mailing the return do as 

 much as the flow. We are able to heat with 

 less number of pipe than formerly and keep 

 the houses far more even in temperature." 



"Detroit" Traps will do the same for you.
