plant such as is described. "Had it been 

 somewhat larger, it would have main- 

 tained a higher temperature with the 

 quantity of coal named. 



The tenant 's books would seem to be 

 the best guide to the fairness of the 

 rental. If the tenant can pay the rent 

 and make a satisfactory profit, the 

 rental may be considered equable, it 

 he can not make a satisfactory profit, 

 the rent certainly is too high for him. 

 It is a habit of landlords to charge all 

 the traffic will bear." 



LOCATION OF BOILER. 



We intend to move from our present 



location, so as to have more space. We 



will enlarge our range of glass and 



should like to know which is the best 



way to run our houses. The location 



is on a corner in a Michigan town, one 



street running north and south, the other 



northwest and southeast. Which end 



would be the best place for the boiler

While the direction in which the 

 houses run will not make very much 

 difference, by having them run north 

 and south it will be possible to have 

 the boiler house at the north end of the 

 range. If the houses are to be 200 feet 

 or more in length, they could, if pre- 

 ferred, run east and west, and the boiler 

 house could be north of the middle of 

 the houses. 



A SHALLOW BOILER PIT. 



I am about to build two greenhouses, 

 22x50 each, here in northern Ohio. The 

 ■ ground is level and I cannot get drain- 

 age down more than two feet for the 

 boiler. The houses will run north and 

 south and will be connected to a one- 

 story frame building, running east and 

 west, which I intend to use for a boiler 

 house and potting shed; the size of this 

 building is 20x26. Will you kindly in- 

 form me as to what size and type of 

 boiler would be best suited for my pur- 

 pese, and the best way to pipe the 

 housest The houses will be connected, 

 and I intend to grow carnations and 

 bedding plants chiefly. I wish to use 

 some of the space under the benches 

 and should not like to use very small 

 pipes. The houses will not be higher 

 than ten feet to the ridge. I should 

 prefer to use hot water. S. J. B. 



Unless a closed system is used, the 

 boiler should be dropped as low as pos- 

 sible, in order to secure a good circu- 

 lation. Care should also be taken to 

 carry the flow, and more particularly 

 the return pipes, as high as possible 

 for the same reason. 



It will be well to use a 2%-inch flow 

 pipe in each of the houses, with nine 

 2-inch return pipes, distributed on the 

 walls and under the benches. The 

 boiler should be one that can be set 

 as low as possible, and may be either 

 of the sectional or tubular form. For 

 the two houses a boiler with a rating 

 for 800 square feet of radiation will 

 be desirable.

Changes are taking place here. Adam 

 Laub will retire from active service, 

 after a most successful career, handing 

 over the business to his son, Alex. A., 

 whose address will be New Hamburg,
