Where Thefe Is 



I 



— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in 

 steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per- 

 fectly-^retum the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that 

 impulse — write now.

feet. A brick or, better yet, a rein- 

 forced con^ete chimney would be best 

 and cheapest in the end, but an iron 

 stack would answer fairly well for a 

 number of years. 



The size of the dwelling is not clearly 

 stated, but a boiler of the size men- 

 tioned would heat a four-room house and 

 the amount of glass in the present plant 

 without difficulty. The arrangement of 

 the dwelling is not understood, but if 

 the lowest part of the returns can be 

 two feet above the water level in the 

 boiler there should be no trouble about 

 returning the water. If the greenhouses 

 are not much more than 20x150 feet, one 

 2-inch flow pipe under the ridge will 

 answer. If larger than this, use 2V^- 

 tnch pipe for the flows. 



ADDING ONE HOUSE. 



I am going to pipe a house, 22x50 

 feet and ten feet to the ridge, for vio- 

 lets, sweet peas and mums. The beds 

 will be solid, on the ground. How many 

 feet of 2-inch pipe will be needed? Will 

 one 3-inch pipe be enough for the main 

 flow and return? This house will be 

 beyond my present house and I should 

 like to get along with only one pipe 

 for ths flow and one for the return. The 

 bouse will be uneven-spanned, with a 2- 

 foot wall on one side and a 5-foot wall 

 on the other. Could I place enough pipe 

 on the side walls to heat the house, 

 without hangi^ any on the columns 

 that support the roof? The main flow 

 and return pipes will have to be run 

 outdoors and will be covered with as- 

 bestos. Do you think it would be pref- 

 erable to get a small boiler to run this 

 house separately, or to put in a new 

 boiler to take care of the whole plant? 

 I am located in the eastern part of New 

 York state. A. O. C. 



Three-inch pipes will answer for the 

 flow and return. For heating the house 

 use nine 2-inch pipes in the coil, in 

 addition to the 3-inch flow, which 

 should be carried about two feet under 

 the ridge. Whether it will be best to 

 get a small boiler for this house, or re- 

 place the present boiler with a larger 

 one, with which to heat the entire plant, 

 will depend upon the present condition 

 of the boiler and whether it is likely 

 that other additions to the plant will be 

 made.

Nake Your 

 BoOer an Asset, 

 Not a Liability 



A boiler costs enough so that every florist should be anxious to 

 get the most possible for his money ; he should closely investigate sev- 

 eral styles before choosing. The more you investigate the more sure 

 it is that you'll buy the Superior Standard. It was designed spec- 

 ially for greenhouse work after a close study of what was needed. It 

 is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but 

 If^ore flues give more heat; more flues require less fuel; the water 

 heats quicker and hotter because the volume of water heated by each 

 flue is smtUlef- All we ask is a chance to show you.
