Greenhouse Heating. 



SIZE OF BOILEB. 



I expect to build two houses, each 

 18x70. "What size of boiler will be 

 needed to heat these properly, in this 

 Ohio climate? I expect to heat with hot 

 water, as there will be an opportunity 

 for a good return system, with the 

 boiler in a basement on a hillside. I 

 will also have another building, 12x60, 

 in front of the greenhouses, and will 

 use it as a workroom, store and experi- 

 ment room. In this building there will 

 be about 400 feet of glass, in the sides 

 only. G. L. N. 



The inquiry is far from being clear 

 enough to warrant a definite reply. The 

 temperature which is desired is not 

 stated, and the coistruction of the 

 greenhouse walls and the amount of 

 glass they contain are not given. If the 

 walls of the greenhouses are well built 

 and contain no glass, it should be pos- 

 sible to maintain a temperature of 60 

 degrees in them with 1,000 square feet 

 of radiation. 



One can only give a guess at the 

 amount of radiation required in the 

 other building. If the walls are ceiled 

 or plastered inside and 400 square feet 

 of glass is the entire amount in the 

 building, it should be found an easy 

 matter to heat it to 60 defrees with 

 250 square feet of radiation, provided 

 the walls are only eight or nine feet 

 high and there is a ceiling at about 

 that height. To furnish the radiation 

 for both this building and the green- 

 houses it would be advisable to have a 

 hot water boiler rated at about 1,500 

 square feet of radiation. 



THE FUEL MABEET. 



The last few days have brought the 

 first real winter weather of the season 

 over a large part of the country — the 

 part in which greenhouse fuel require- 

 ments are heaviest. It has increased 

 consumption while it has, in some sec- 

 tions, more or less impeded the move- 

 ment of cars by the railroads. The sit- 

 uation at Chicago is much the same as 

 elsewhere and the heavier buying at 

 wholesale has, so far, done nothing more
