by installing The Martin Rocking^ Ghrate. Costs a little more 

 than ordinary grates, but the coal burns— it doesn't go into the 



ashpit. ■ ■ . ■ ' ^ .- --^.fV5^^'*<T^^''7r ■ 



We refer to Peter Reinberg, Emil Buettner, Bassett A Washburn, WletSor Bros., 



Adam Zeuder, Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Seed Co., and many others. 

 They will tell you to order the Martin Rooking Grate for the new boilers 

 to be put in this season. Write for catalogue and prices.

having about six 1-inch pipes length- 

 wise over the benches, with probably 

 one or two short coils on the west end. 



I am located in central Colorado. 



~ M. A. W. 



The twenty horse-power boiler will, 

 of course, be much larger than is re- 

 quired. In fact, there should be no dif- 

 ficulty in heating the house with hot 

 water, using the present boiler and pip- 

 ing, if properly arranged. 



For heating with steam, run a 2-incb 

 main to the middle of the east end of 

 the house and then directly to the west 

 end of the house, carrying it at a slight 

 fall and about two feet under the ridge. 

 Then run three 1%-inch pipes each way 

 ■ around the walls to the boiler room, 

 and also place a coil of three pipes un- 

 der each of the middle benches, feed- 

 ing all of them from the 2-inch over- 

 head main. The l^^-inch pipe would 

 also answer for steam, though 114-iach 

 pipe is preferred. In case it may be 

 thought best to make use of a hot water 

 system, use two 2%-inch overhead 

 flows, with five 1 14 -inch returns on each 

 wall and five under each bench. 



HEAT FOB OBNEBAL STOCK, 



We have a greenhouse 20x45, which 

 runs east and west. The house is tight 

 and well glazed. It has a 3-foot brick 

 wall all around, and on the top of this 

 are three feet of glass in the sides. The 

 height from the floor to the ridge is 

 thirteen feet. The gables are glass from 

 the 3-foot brick wall to the ridge pole. 

 The wall on the north is banked up 

 with soil to within twelve inches of 

 the top. We intend to heat the house 

 with a hot water boiler and we wish to 

 know how many flows and returns will 

 be required to heat it to a tempera- 

 ture of 55 to 60 degrees. It rarely 

 happens that we have zero weather in 

 this part of Mississippi, but we want 

 sufficient heat even in zero weather. 



We have three benches, with a 20- 

 inch walk all around, close to the 

 ,. v^lls, jnd a 24-ineh walk on each ifide 

 *J.*Ji^ rhiddle bench. There is a door 

 «Mf||ff* •i|j|f*^eech end of the house. We wish 

 •***»Wv tb place the flows and returns so that 

 they will not interfere with the two 

 center walks. Would it be necessary 

 to have any heating pipes under the 

 center bench f We are growing a gen- 

 eral assortment of plants, carnations, 

 geraniums, begonias, etc. We shall ap- 

 preciate any Suggestions.
