Greenhouse Heating. 



IN NORTHWESTEEN LOUISIANA. 



We have three new greenhouses, 

 which we wish to heat with hot water. 

 The houses run north and south. The 

 boiler is at the northeast corner and 

 the houses have a fall of eighteen 

 inches from south to north. There are 

 forty-two inches of glass in each of 

 the two outside walls. The south ends 

 are 'glass, but the north ends are en 

 closed by the boiler room, workroom 

 and office. The east house is 14x100 

 feet and will be used for ferns, palms, 

 etc. The middle house, 20x100 feet, is 

 for mums and general stock. The west 

 house, also 20x100 feet, is for carna- 

 tions. 



How deep will it be necessary to dig 

 the boiler pit? What is the best lo- 

 cation for the tank! Please state, also, 

 the best and cheapest system of piping 

 the different houses for their respec- 

 tive uses. The outside temperature 

 here rarely falls lower than 5 degrees 

 above zero. We have a good lot of 

 2-inch pipe, which we should like to 

 use for returns, and we should prefer 

 not to use anything larger than 3-ineh 

 for flows. R. L. G. 



The best circulation is secured when 

 the boiler pit is deep enough to bring 

 the top of the boiler two or more feet 

 below the returns, but this is not neces- 

 sary when overhead flow pipes are 

 used. 



For the two larger houses use three 

 2% -inch overhead flow pipes and six 

 2-inch returns. The arrangement of the 

 returns will depend somewhat upon 

 whether benches or beds are used. In 

 the former case, put about one-half of 

 the pipes on the walls and the others 

 can be distributed under the benches. 

 In the 14-foot house, for which a tem- 

 perature of 65 to 70 degrees will be re- 

 quired, it will suffice if two 2%-inch 

 flow pipes and six 2-inch returns are 

 used. The same arrangement as sug- 

 gested for the other houses could be 

 used in this one. Eun all of the pipes 

 downhill, thus bringing the highest 

 part of the system near the boiler. By 

 attaching the tank at this point, it 

 will do away with air valves. 



A CANVAS-OOVEBED HOUSE. 



I have a canvBs-covered greenhouse, 

 seven feet high, which is used for vege- 

 table growing. The canvas can be 

 pulled back to allow the sunshine to 

 enter. In fact, the house is similar to ' 

 the cloth-covered greenhouses of Flori- 

 da. Here, in northwestern Louisiana,

Snccennors to the 

 John Davis Cumpany 



Hughson Regulating Valve 



are all satisfied with the results it has given, and many 

 duplicate < rders is the proof. This Valve will main- 

 tain a steady pressure on the low side, no matter 

 how the initial pressure fluctuates. By carrying 40 or 50 

 pounds pressure on the laoiler and setting the valve to 

 carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line, you always have a 

 reserve to fall back on in rase of a sudden drop in tem- 

 perature. Our UBvr catalogrue Is Just out and if 

 you contemplate making any ouanges you had better 

 get one— it is yours for the asking.
