Let Us Overhaul Your Greenhouse Heating 



System Before the Fall Ru ;h 



Don't wait until you need heat in your greenhouses, to kno^ 

 if your plant is in condition to give it to you. Better let u 

 look over your entire heating system now, repair or replac* 

 your boiler if necessary — put in new pipes, headers, and so on— 

 in other words, give it a thorough overhauling. You then take 

 no chances of a breakdown and a frozen up house. 



We know how to do it — have been doing it for over forty 

 years — the oldest Greenhouse Heating Engineers in the business.

enough, but the two li/4,-inch returns 

 are not suflBcient. Possibly these can be 

 made larger; two 2-inch returns would 

 answer. It would be an advantage if 

 the flow line running to the dwelling had 

 a gradual rise from the far end of the 

 60-foot house into the dwelling. The 

 return lines of the greenhouses can be 

 carried along the side walls. No check 

 valves are required for hot water. 



RETURN TRAPS. 



How high above the return pipe to 

 the boiler should a steam trap be lo- 

 cated to operate properly? Our trap 

 at present is situated about three feet 

 above the top of the boiler. It takes 

 about five or six pounds of steam to 

 operate the trap. Would it not operate 

 with less pressure if placed only a few 

 feet above the boiler return? 



O. H. A. 



The question gives nothing on which 

 to base a reply. It is not stated what 

 trap is used, nor are any of the points 

 covered which might affect the working 

 of the trap. About the only reply that 

 can be made is to advise writing to the 

 manufacturer of the trap. 



DISEASE ON HARDY PINKS. 



I am sending under separate cover 

 some plants of my seedling hardy garden 

 carnation, which are, in my opinion, 

 affected by some bacterial or fungous dis- 

 turbance that causes their foliage to 

 curl and shrivel and which considerably 

 checks their growth. The roots and stems 

 seem to be all right. Kindly tell me 

 what the trouble is and suggest a remedy. 



O. L. 



These bacteria are not by any means 

 uncommon on the hardy garden pinks, 

 being aggravated by spells of warm, 

 moist, sunless weather. Dusting with fine 

 air-slaked lime and sulphur while the 

 foliage is dry will help to check it. When 

 washed off by rain apply more. The dis- 

 ease will probably run itself out with 

 the arrival of cooler weather. C. 



Utica, N. Y.— C. F. Baker & Son had 

 charge of the decorations for the Golden- 

 Remington wedding at Ilion, September 

 29, and did the work so well, it is said, 

 that nothing was left to be desired.
