Greenhouse Heating. 



BESIDENCE AND GKEENHOUSE. 



I am installing a round, Eival hot 

 water boiler in my residence and wish to 

 run the pipes to my greenhouse, which 

 is twenty feet east of the residence. 

 The greenhouse is 9x17 feet, and seven 

 feet to the ridge, with one foot of glass 

 all around in the sides. I should like 

 to know what size of flow and return to 

 use and what size and number of pipes 

 to use in the greenhouse.. The coldest 

 weather in this section of Pennsylvania 

 is about 15 degrees below zero, and I 

 should like to keep the greenhouse tem- 

 perature at 50 to 60 degrees. How 

 should I run my pipes to the green- 

 house? They will be buried about one 

 foot. I am using the Honeywell sys- 

 tem, with a generator attached. 



V. E. C. 



There should be no difficulty in heat- 

 ing the greenhouse from the heater in 

 the cellar of the dwelling, provided the 

 top of the heater is sufficiently low to 

 permit giving the flow pipe a slight 

 rise. Use 2^-inch pipe for the main 

 flow and return. Cover them with as- 

 bestos packing and run them through 

 8-inch sewer pipe, unless it will be 

 cheaper to build a cement conduit. This 

 could be used for the return as well as 

 the flow, and should be about fifteen 

 inches wide and eight inches deep, and 

 covered with cement slabs, 12x18x2 

 inches. 



Carry the flow pipe straight east from 

 the boiler to the center of the green- 

 house. Then, if the house is sufficiently 

 high to give head room, carry the pipe 

 up to the ridge and run it with a slight 

 fall to the north end. Then drop down 

 under the end bench and divide into 

 two 2-inch pipes, each of which should 

 feed a coil of four l^^-inch pipes 

 under the side benches. At the 

 south end of the house connect the coils 

 to a 2%-inch pipe leading back to the 

 boiler. If the flow pipe cannot be car- 

 ried under the ridge, run it on the west 

 plate around to the middle of the north

For the last two weeks stock has 

 gradually been getting scarce, and just 

 now tea roses, especially in pink and 

 white, and Beauties of all grades, are 

 at a premium. The extremely warm 

 weather that we have had this fall has 

 brought flowers of all kinds into bloom 

 in great profusion, and many of the re- 

 tailers under contract, and the stores 

 supplied by their greenhouses have been

 has caused the growers to pinch back 

 their tea roses, and while it makes a 

 shortage now, it brightens the prospects 

 for a large crop during the holidays. 



The outlook for mums for Thanksgiv-
