pipes will be sufficient. A 2-inch main 

 flow will be sufficient for the 10-foot 

 house; a 3-inch main should be used 

 for each of the rose houses and a 2V^- 

 inch main in the others, in each case to 

 be carried under the gable. L. C. C. 



CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



We would Uke to know the heating 

 capacity of a boiler twelve feet by forty- 

 two inches, with thirty-six 3% -inch flues 

 and a grace surface 48x48. Will such a 

 boiler, properly piped and fired, heat 

 economically 18,000 feet of glass to the 

 ordinary temperatures for general green- 

 house needs, in this part of Kansas, 

 where the temperature is rarely below 

 zero, although it may go to 10 degrees 

 below possibly once a year? Will a 

 chimney forty-five feet high, and with a 

 round, smooth flue, twenty- four inches 

 in diameter, be enough for two such 

 boilers, especially if hard firing is not 

 required? W. H. C. 



Your bailer would be rated at thirty 

 horse-power and should be able to carry 

 about 3,500 square feet of radiation 

 under ordinary greenhouse conditions in 

 your climate. L. C. C. 



YOKING BOILERS. 



We have added an emergency boiler 

 to our regular one, but have not been 

 able to yoke the two together in such 

 a way as to get good service from them, 

 as one boiler forces its water into the 

 other. Can you offer any suggestions as 

 to what will obviate the trouble? 



L. F. 



This is evidently a case of one boiler 

 heating much more rapidly than the 

 other. I judge, from what you say, 

 that these are steam boilers, although 

 there is no statement to that eflfect. If 

 steam boilers are in question, a good 

 way will be to yoke the flow pipes to- 

 gether and to connect both with a com- 

 mon water leg into which all returns 

 empty. The water leg should then be 

 connected with each boiler by an inde- 

 pendent connection in which a gate valve 

 and a swing check valve are placed, so 

 as to shut the boiler off entirely when 

 not in use and to prevent the water from 

 leaving the boiler when the two are not 

 steaming alike. L. C. C. 



I don't see how any florist can do 

 business without the Beview. — Alfred 

 RUNNION, Sheldon, III. 



The Standard 

 Steam Trap 



is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist, because it is durable and 

 does its work without trouble and 

 aDDoyance, saving its cost by the 

 economy in coal bills.
