tory. If hot air is to be carried to the 

 sleeping room, 8-inc'h flow and return 

 pipes should be used. The hot air com- 

 bination will lessen the efficiency of the 

 hot water portion of the heater, and 

 will not have more than ten per cent of 

 its efficiency. It will be best to use 

 brick to cover the boiler, and the sides 

 of the firepot for a distance of a foot 

 above the fuel should be of firebrick. 



THREE CONNECTED HOUSES. 



I should like to get some information 

 with regard to the heating of a small 

 range of greenhouses, here in north- 

 western Oregon. There are three con- 

 nected houses, running north and south, 

 with the boiler at the south end of the 

 middle house. House No. 1. the east 

 house, is 16x50, five and a half feet to 

 the eaves and eleven and a half feet 

 to the ridge, with eighteen inches of 

 glass in the east wall. House No. 2, the 

 middle house, is 16x35 and the same 

 height as house No. 1. House No. 3, 

 the west house, is 8x50 and three and 

 a half feet to the eaves, with twelve 

 inches of glass in the west wall. The 

 temperature required is from 55 to 65 

 degrees. The outside temperature here 

 seldom goes as low as zero. 



Please give me some information, 

 also, about the construction of a coil 

 boiler. My present piping and co^l are 

 inadequate. F. M. D. 



To give a temperature of 65 degrees 

 when the thermometer stands at zero 

 will require for house No. 1 (16x50 feet, 

 with eighteen inches of glass in the 

 east wall) three 2i/^-inch flow pipes and 

 eight 2-inch returns. In house No. 2 

 the same number of flows and seven re- 

 turns would suffice. House No. 3 should 

 have one 2i/.-inch flow and five 2-inch 

 returns. In the wider houses carry one 

 flow pipe two feet under the ridge and 

 another on each plate. The returns can 

 be distributed under the benches. 



As a rule, coil boilers do not last as 

 long as standard greenhouse boilers, 

 and are less satisfactory.

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 inBtalled 

 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.
