The Flor&ts' Review 



April 9, 1914. 



plan of radiation -is the better' and 

 have you any suggestion to make? 



U. N. D. 



The letter states that one plan calls 

 for seven to fourteen returns under 

 each bench, but there is nothing to in- 

 dicate how many benches will be 

 placed in the houses, or how much 

 glass there is in the side and end 

 walls. 



The amount of piping required to 

 heat a greenhouse can be greatly les- 

 sened if the temperature is such that 

 the glass frosts over at night. If the 

 class of plants to be grown is such that 

 a temperature of 55 degrees at night 

 will answer in extremely cold weather, 

 not more than two-thirds as much radi- 

 ation will be required as would be 

 needed for 70 degrees. If there is no 

 more than thirty inches of glass in the 

 outside walls and a temperature of 55 

 to 60 degrees will suffice, I would sug- 

 gest running a 3-inch main three or 

 four feet below the ridge and with this 

 feeding a coil of four li/4-inch pipes on 

 the side and end wdlls. Tliere should 

 be four addUional returns under the 

 IJienc^s. 



For the rooms requiring 70 degrees 

 at night, in addition to the 3-inch flow 

 and four returns on each wall, eight 

 additional 1^4 -inch returns will be nec- 

 essary in your cold northern climate. 

 These can be connected with the main 

 flow and return pipes wherever most 

 convenient. In case it is considered 

 necessary to maintain 80 degrees at 

 night in any of the houses, still another 

 coil of eight pipes should be added. 

 There are few plants in common culti- 

 vation, however, for which a minimum 

 of 70 degrees at night, with about 10 

 degrees more during the day, will not 

 answer. 



The radiation specified for 60 degrees 

 at ■ night will readily give 70 degrees 

 during the day in ordinary weather.

GREENHOUSE SHADINQ 



No. 6 Hlsh Straet. MORRIBTOWN. N. J. 



AFTER twenty-five years' experience In Oreen- 

 house work, with Loid A Burnham Company, 

 in the glaziDK and patntine department, I azo 

 convinced that whatls most needed In this Une is a 

 food shading;, and I am pleased to advise you that I 

 have the real thing, which I am sure you will find to 

 be Just what you are looking for 



This shading Is beoeflclal to the painted wood, as 

 it does not contain any gasoline or naphtha which 

 would destroy the paint In addition, itls beneficial 

 to the glass also, for jrou will find that when the 

 shading Is removed the glass retains its former 

 brilliancy. 



As to its applicatiOD. tliis is a very easy matter. It 

 can be either sprayed on or put on with a soft brush. 

 For real good work, however, I would recommend 

 the use of a, soft brsah. 



Another advartage of this shading is that when It 

 is no longer needed it can be removed without any 

 dlfQculty. leaving the glass, as before stated, with its 

 original brtlilyncy. 



I am making this up in gallon cans. In three 

 shades— light green, light blue and pure white. 

 When ordering, kindly mention the color desired. 



I trust that yon will kindly favor me with a trial 

 order to prove Its worth, after which I have no doubt 

 whatever but that you will continue its use.

Mastlca is elastic and tenaclons, admits of 

 expansion and contraction. Putty becomes 

 bard and brittle. Broken glass more easily 

 removed without breaking of other glass as 

 occurs with hard putt?.
