The Rorists' Review 



March 29, 1914. 



structiou depends largely upon the 

 style of iron frame used and the ex- 

 tent to which it is employed. Ordinar- 

 ily the iron-frame construction does 

 not add more than twenty-fivej per cent 

 to ' the cort of a commerc^l green- 

 house. This would include gutters and 

 posts. "When a full iron frame is used 

 the cost might be fifty per cent higher 

 ^hau when cypress only is used. Of 

 course the relative expense of the two 

 styles of construction varies somewhat 

 in different parts of the country. 



Glass should always be bedded in 

 th^ putty, and the putty should never 

 be^tused over the glass in greenhouses. 

 Lapped glass is almost universally 

 used, as, compared with butted glass, 

 it mttkes a warmer and drier roof and 

 requires less care in sorting and laying 

 the panes. 



ONE NEW JEBSEY HOUSE. 



I am building one greenhouse, 21x 

 160 feet and five feet high to the 

 eaves. It is a detached house, run- 

 ning east and west, and has twenty- 

 four inches of glass in each side. The 

 east gable is glass; the west end ad- 

 joins the workroom and boiler shed. 

 The boiler pit cannot be more than 

 about three feet deep. I wish to keep 

 a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees 

 when the outside temperature is at 

 zero. Here, in central New Jersey, the 

 temperature sometimes falls as low as 

 3 to 5 degrees below zero, but not 

 often. What size of boiler will be 

 needed and how should the piping be 

 arranged in the house, for best results? 



E. C. M. 



To heat the house described to 60 

 degrees in zero weather, it will be well 

 to use a twenty horse-power boiler, al- 

 though this will be large enough to 

 heat another house of the same size. 

 For radiation put in a 2%-inch main 

 about three feet below the ridge and 

 connect this with ten 1^4 -inch pipes as 

 returns. Part Or all of these should 

 either be on the walls or under the 

 side benches. Unless the lower end of 

 the returns is three or four feet above 

 the water level in the boiler, either a 

 steam trap or pump should be used to 

 elevate the water.,
