Greenhouse Heating. 



OIL FOE FUEL. 



A subscriber re<}uests the publication 

 of the following inquiry: 



"Florists who have made use of oil 

 in place of coal for fuel, please advise 

 us through this column as to the cost 

 and character of burners, life of same, 

 effect oil has on boilers, and relative 

 cost of oil and coal. ' ' 



The Beview will be pleased to give 

 space to any replies. 



STEAM FOB SMALL HOUSE. 



I am building a greenhouse 32x60 

 feet, with walls five feet high and the 

 ridge thirteen feet from the floor. How 

 much radiation do I need for heating 

 with steam in Ohio climate f C. H. 



To carry a temperature of 60 to 65 

 degrees in occasional below zero 

 weather with low pressure steam you 

 will require twenty lines of 114-inch 

 pipe as returns, supplied by a 2 14 -inch 

 riser under the ridge. But why use 

 steam f Hot water will be much better; 

 if this is all the glass you have you 

 should avoid night firing. F. E. 



TRACTION ENGINE BOILEB. 



I have a traction engine boiler rated 

 at fifteen horse-power, heating a house 

 27x100. Could I extend this house and 

 still have heat enough for general stock 

 in the climate of the state of Wash- 

 ington? A. C. 



The boiler in question should be suf- 

 ficient to heat a house of the cross-sec- 

 tion mentioned, 150 feet in length, to 60 

 degrees by using sixteen lines of 2-inch 

 pipe the length of the house. Three of 

 the sixteen lines can be used as flow 

 pipes, while thirteen are used as re- 

 turns. F. E. 



A CABNATION HOUSE. 



We have a twenty horse-power steam 

 boiler, used four years. Can we tap it 

 with 21^-inch holes and use it for hot 

 water! It is an upright boiler, with a 

 grate three feet across and a space of 

 two feet between the grate and the 

 tubes. Can we burn hard coal with 

 good results t With this boiler we wish 

 to heat a carnation house 20x100 feet, 

 and twelve feet to the ridge. The house 

 runs east and west. The back wall is 

 six feet high and the front wall five 

 feet high, with three feet of glass in 

 the front. In this Connecticut climate, 



Awarded the Certificate of Nerit 



at the National Flower Show. Boston, Mass.; and also received the ual^ersal approval of all 

 the visitors who examined its merits, the expression of the majority being 



"THAT IS THE BOILER I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR" 



The points of merit that appealed to the judges and the critical visitors were that the fire- 

 box is entirely surrounded by watar, there being no brick work to require constant repair ; 

 every part of the boiler is easily accessible for cleaning and oiling, which is the most impor- 

 tant feature to b« considered in purchasing a boiler that is idle during the summer months; 

 all the castings, doors, grates, etc., are made double extra heavy.

 should give satisfaction. If you wish 

 to use it for hot water, I would ad- 

 vise having the shell reamed for a 2V^-
