55 -degreea in zero weather. A faot 

 water system will be used and the 

 boiler is rated for 1,500 square feet. 



H. E. K. 



To heat a greenhouse to 55 degrees 

 with hot water, in zero weather, one 

 square foot of radiation to three and 

 one-half square feet of glass ^ouXd 

 be used, and at. that rate seven lines 

 of 2-inch return pipes will be rfequit^d. 

 If the ho^se is well built and is in a 

 location where it is somewhat sheltered 

 from the prevailing cold winds, six 

 lines of pipe would be sufficient gx- 

 eept when the temperatiire is below 

 zero outside, and then the temperature 

 could be kept up with a little extra 

 attention to firing. 



A SMALL CARNATION HOUSE. 



I am building .a small greenhouse in 

 which to grow carnations and I expect 

 to heat the house from a heater in 

 my residence. The size of the house 

 is 20x40 feet. It will be about thirty 

 feet from the heater. The floor of the 

 greenhouse will be about on a level 

 with the top of the heater. Do yoti 

 think that I can heat the house in this 

 way! If so, what size of pipes will 

 be needed, and how manyt Where 

 should they be placed? I shall use a 

 hot water heater. The outdoor temper- 

 ature in this part of North Carolina 

 seldom drops lower than 16 degrees 

 above zero. I shall want a tempera- 

 ture of about 50 degrees at v<aigkl^. 

 The greenhouse will be modern in 

 every respect. J. A. W, 



; There should be no difficulty in heat- 

 ing the greenhoilse from the heater in 

 t^e basement of the dwelling. Bun 

 2%-inch flow and return pipes to ifte 

 greenhouse and extend the flow to the 

 farther end, carrying it at a slight 

 slope about two feet below the ridge. 

 For returns use three 2-inch pipes on 

 each wall. In case the end of the 

 house is much exposed, it might be well 

 to start the coils Vinder the end tH 

 the flow pipe and . carry them along 

 tl^e end as weU Bip Idfojvn the sides o/. 

 the house. 



"Good results should be obtained by 

 planting strong, field-grown plants ih 

 the last part of August, although if 

 the weather is warm it might be bet- 

 ter, in your latitude, to delay planting 

 three or four weeks. Keep the plants 

 shaded, and sprinkle and ventilate un- 

 til they are established. 



Nazareth, Pa. — Johnson & Garland 

 have filed a bill in equity in a local 

 court against the Slate Belt Street 

 Bailway Co., for the purpose of ob- 

 taining an order directing the trolley 

 company to carry freight. 



Nevada, Mo. — Perry F. Edris and his 

 son, Howard, have purchased from F. 

 R. Boe & Sons the establishment known 

 as the Volcano Greenhouses and will 

 continue the business under the name 

 of the Edris Floral Co.

Don't Buy 



'a Boiler 



with the 



Chimney 



Scoots" 



Most boilers are scooters. 



You shovel the coal in the front, and 

 half the heat scoots up the chimaey in- 

 stead of into your pipes. 



Dollars goine off into the air. 



Before a man puts his good money into 

 an automobile, he sends for catalogues of 

 several kinds and makes sure he*s sure 

 of putting his money in the right kind. 



Use the same common-sense method 

 about buying your boiler. 



Give your common sense a chance to 

 do the choosing, and it's ten chances to 

 one you will choose a Burnham. 



P, S.— No matter how much 

 money you have, you haven't 

 enough to send any scooting up 

 your chimney.
