 for many years. Unequaled for the Generation of Steam and Domestic Purposes.

The coal market unquestionably is 

 dull; the florist is an ever welcome cus- 

 tomer, but more so this year than usual, 

 for he is a regular buyer, poor seasons as 

 well as good. 



CHOICE OF BOILERS. 



I have a marine boiler ten feet long, 

 including fire box, and two feet in diame- 

 ter; it also has a smoke hood. It is extra 

 well made and a good steamer. Would 

 this be all right for steam heating, and 

 how many greenhouses 26x100, with 

 6-foot walls, would it heat? 



I also have a horizontal boiler 4x12 

 feet. How many of the same sized houses 

 would this heat? Which would be the 

 most economical and most suitable for the 

 purpose? The one would have to be 

 bricked in, while the other, I understand, 

 would only require an asbestos covering. 



C. W. A. 



The marine boiler is about thirty horse- 

 power and should easily heat four houses 

 of the size you mention. The horizontal 

 tubular boiler has a greater capacity and 

 would heat one more house. The hori- 

 zontal tubular boiler will cost more to set 

 up, but it will be more economical to 

 operate and is superior as a steamer. 



TO DOUBLE GLASS LATER. 



We have two greenhouses and are 

 building one more as described. One old 

 house is 16x85 and the other 26x100, 

 each nine feet to the ridge and sepa- 

 rated by a few feet. Beside the 16-foot 

 house we will add one house 35x125, 

 eleven feet to the ridge. The boiler 

 shed is at the north end and will be 

 enlarged to cover the new house. We want 

 to put in a boiler capable of heating 

 these three houses, and three more of 

 about the same size to be added later. 

 What size boiler would you advise, also 

 what size pipe and how put in for 

 ground beds? Can it be piped for both 

 steam and hot water, and do you think 

 this a practical way of heating? 



D. N. C. 



To heat your range consisting of one 

 house 16x85, one house 26x100, and one 

 bouse 35x125, you will require a hot

 For 60 degrees at zero the new house, 

 35x125, will require the following: 

 Twenty-eight lines of 1%-inch pipe, 

 twenty-two lines of 2-inch pipe or four- 

 teen lines of 4-inch pipe. The 2-inch 

 piping system is best arranged with one
