Greenhouse Heating. 



SuBSCEiBEES are invited to write the 

 editor of the Heating Department, de- 

 scribing their troubles or asking any 

 questions regarding the heating of green- 

 houses, the piping or boiler-room. But 

 please do not ask us to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. Each boiler adver- 

 tised in The Review is a good boiler, and 

 the advertisers sell them on their merits. 



DEPRESS THE BOILEB. 



We have two greenhouses, adjoining 

 each other. One is 16 x 45 and the other 

 28 X 70. There are two 3-inch flows 

 under the ridge and five 2-inch returns 

 on the side posts in the larger house, 

 and one 3-inch flow and foyr 2-inch re- 

 turns on each side wall in the smaller 

 house. The boiler is sectional. There 

 are twelve sections and the boiler is 

 rated to heat 2,300 feet of 4-inch pipe. 

 The boiler is in a pit, but the top of it 

 is about two feet higher than the lowest 

 return pipes. The highest point of the 

 system is over the boiler, but we cannot 

 get satisfactory results, or enough heat 

 for our Illinois climate. The water 

 boils near the boiler, but does not cir- 

 culate satisfactorily. Will it be neces 

 sary to sink the boiler deeper, or what 

 can be the matter! How much fall is 

 necessary in 70-foot flows? S. & M. 



The simplest manner of piping a 

 greenhouse is to have the top of the 

 heater lower than the lowest part of 

 the returns. To bring this about, it 

 may be necessary to sink the heater, 

 but if the arrangement of the heating 

 coils is such as to make it possible to 

 raise them, this will probably be the

easier way. A closed system could also 

 be used to good advantage. The slope 

 of the pipe seed only be enough to free 

 it from air, and one inch in twenty feet 

 will often answer, if the pipes are 

 accurately leveled. 



In the larger house the radiation is 

 only sufficient for 50 degrees in a cen- 

 tral Illinois climate. If a temperature 

 of 60 degrees is desired, three 2-inch 

 pipes should be added to the returns in 

 the larger house. The heater is fifty 

 per cent larger than is required. F. R. 



THE COAL MABKET. 



The coal trade, like some of the 

 progressive ones in the florists' busi- 

 ness, finds it desirable to push during 

 the dull summer season, to open new 

 channels of sales to keep the machin- 

 ery of the trade in operation all the 

 year around. The aoal men do not 

 have the advantage that the florist has, 

 that what he sells today he can sell 

 over again day after tomorrow — if a 

 man lays in his season's supply of coal 

 in summer he cannot be sold again
