In all Greenhouses of considerable width, it is desirable that ventilation should be provided on both sides of the ridge, so that the ventilation can be given on the 'leeward' side, which will prevent the wind from blowing directly into the house.

The open-tank hot water heating has more advantage in its adaptation to general use than any other, and is so simple that its management is readily understood by any one. It is practically automatic, and is capable of maintaining an even temperature for ten hours without attention. Low pressure steam heating is well adapted to large commercial ranges, and to large conservatories in parks and private places, where a night attendant can be kept in charge of the fires to turn on and shut off steam from the radiating pipes as the changing outside temperature may require.
