point in the system and connected with 

 the main return close to the boiler, the 

 piping you have will be more efficient and 

 the circnlation better. If you cannot 

 keep the expansion tank in the shed, ex- 

 tend it above the roof and build a hood 

 over it. L. C. C. 



THREE HOUSES AND A LEAN-TO. 



I am planning to build three con- 

 nected greenhouses, running east and 

 west, with a lean-to, 7x90, extending 

 north and south along the west end of 

 the houses. The boiler-room will be lo- 

 cated north of the lean-to, or, in other 

 words, at the northwest corner of the 

 range. The north house will be 42x83 

 and will be used for carnations. The 

 other two houses, both for roses, will be 

 each 25x83. The lean-to will be used as 

 a propagating house. The height of the 

 walls is six feet and a half. The outside 

 walls contain three feet of cement and 

 forty-two inches of glass, and there are 

 forty-two inches of glass, also, in the 

 partition walls. 



What is the best way of piping these 

 houses for low pressure steam? The 

 boiler can be set as low as you think 

 best. I am figuring on using a tubular 

 boiler and should like to know what size 

 and kind would be most suitable. I am 

 located in southern Ohio. In the rose 

 houses I want a bottom temperature of 

 60 or 62 degrees and an overhead tem- 

 perature of 55 degrees. For the carna- 

 tions I want 55 degrees of bottom heat 

 and 50 degrees of overhead heat. 



C. F. B. 



A satisfactory arrangement for the 

 heating of a plant such as you propose, 

 with steam, can be worked out as fol- 

 lows : Carry a 4-inch main riser from 

 the boiler through the lean-to house as 

 far as the middle of the end of the mid- 

 dle house; from there continue the riser 

 with a 2V2-inch pipe. Take off a 2i4-inch 

 pipe at the middle of the 42-foot house 

 and run it to the far end of the house,
