AN ONTABIO BANQE. 



Will you kindly let me know what 

 piping will be required to heat my 

 range of seven houses with steam f The 

 boiler house is in the central part of 

 the range and extends through the en- 

 tire range from north to south. Abut- 

 ting on the west side of the boiler house 

 are three greenhouses, each 21x100, 

 running east and west. Of these three 

 houses, the north one is for general 

 stock, the middle one for carnations 

 and the south one for roses. East of 

 the boiler house are three more green- 

 houses, which also run east and west. 

 The north one of these three is a prop- 

 agating house, 11x60; the middle one is 

 a fern house, 21x60, and the south one 

 is a vegetable house, 21x60. All of these 

 houses, except the propagating house, 

 are eleven feet high to the ridge, and 

 there are four feet of glass in the south 

 wall. At the east end of the range is 

 one more house, 10x42, running north 

 and south. 



At present the two 60foot green- 

 houses and some others are heated with 

 hot water, and we have a lot of 2-inch 

 pipe and fittings that we should like to 

 use, if possible, for the flows. We would 

 get some smaller pipe for the returns 

 or coils. What size of pipe would be 

 best for this, 1-inch or Ii4-inch1 It 

 will not be necessary to excavate much 

 to set the boiler, so we shall use low 

 pressure gravity. We shall build a 

 round, concrete smokestack. What height 

 and diameter of stack will be needed, 

 in order to have good «lraft! In this 

 part of Ontario, Can., the temperature 

 may be as low as 28 degrees below zero, 

 but only on rare occasions. Last win- 

 ter, however, the thermometer regis- 

 tered 15 to 20 degrees below for two 

 weeks. W. S. P. 



There will be no objection to using 

 2-inch pipes as steap flows, and buying 

 1^-inch pipe as returns. For houses

twenty-one feet wide, with four feet 

 of glass in the south wall, it will require 

 one 2-inch flow and ten 114-inch returns 

 to heat rose and fern houses to 60 de- 

 grees, while one flow and seven re- 

 turns will heat carnation and vegetable 

 houses to 50 degrees. In the propagat- 

 ing house use one 2-inch flow and five 

 114-inch returns. 



If the entire capacity of the boiler 

 is likely to be needed the chimney 

 should be forty feet high and two feet 

 in diameter, although if eighteen 

 inAies in diameter it will heat the 

 houses.

A COMBINATION HEATER. 



We are thinking of building a com-

 is of our own designing and, for fear 

 there might be some point about it
