walls will be four inches thick, with iron 

 supports. Also, what size of boiler will 

 be required? I will use 1^-inch pipe 

 and heat with steam. We expect to build 

 two houses of this kind, and also a boiler 

 house, 18x50, made of concrete blocks. 



E. H. & S. 



For the carnation house, 50x200 feet, 

 it will be advisable to use three 2-inch 

 flow pipes and fifteen 114-iiich returns. 

 The rose house, 25x200 feet, will need 

 three flows and ten returns. This will 

 make it possible to have one flow and 

 about one-fourth of the returns on each 

 wall. The other returns can be under the 

 benches, with the flow pipe to supply 

 them overhead. 



If it is preferred to carry the steam 

 through the house in the coils and return 

 the condensed steam in drip pipes be- 

 neath the coils, twenty 1^-inch pipes 

 will be needed in the carnation house and 

 fifteen in the rose house. 



A fifty horse-power boiler will supply 

 the radiation easily. 



INSTALLING AN EXTRA BOILER. 



I intend to install another boiler dur- 

 ing the coming summer and I have the 

 boiler on hand now, but it will need a 

 new grate. The boiler is brick set, is 

 sixty inches by eighteen feet and contains 

 forty-eight 4-inch return flues. What size 

 of jp-ate should \ use, in order to get the 

 'full capacity of the boiler? What horse- 

 power will it furnish, using the largest 

 grate allowable, and carrying from five to 

 twenty pounds of steam pressure? Will 

 a boiler of that wze be safe with the 

 safety valve set at thirty pounds, if the

boiler is tested with a pressure of eighty

Will a round concrete stack, fifty feet 

 high and thirty-six inches in diameter, in- 

 side measurement, give sufficient draft 

 for two boilers, the one about to be in- 

 stalled and the one now in use, which is 

 brick set, measures forty-two inches by

 inch flues, with a grate 42x48 inches? 

 What is the horse-power of the latter 

 boiler? The distance from the ground 

 to the top of the breeching is ten feet in 

 the smaller boiler and twelve feet in
