. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. Trade Mark Beg. U. S. Pat. Office side, with a connecting house of twenty feet between, and the gutters six feet. There will be three feet of glass and three feet of concrete in the walls. The ridge will be about twelve feet. The service building will be built on a side hill, 30x46 feet, with the boiler room and garage on the lower floor and the workroom and office on the second. I should like to use steam heat, low pressure preferred, and want to make use of as much of the material I now have as possible. I have about 10,000 feet of 2-inch pipe, 150 feet of 3-inch pipe, feet of 4-inch pipe and 150 feet of 5-inch pipe. Should I use a large boiler or two small ones? I intend to erect another house, 35x175 feet, next year. Would it be advisable to use the 2-inch pipe en- tirely in the houses? What size of mains will be necessary? R. R.—O. While it would be preferable to use 1%-inch pipe for the returns, it will be possible to get fairly satisfactory re- sults if the 2-inch pipes now on hand are used for the return coils. The 2-inch pipes will be ample for supplying re- turns for all of the houses, including the new house to be built next year. For the 20-foot houses, one overhead flow pipe under the ridge of each house will answer. The sketch shows three houses on each side of the connecting house, those on the south side to be heated to 60 degrees, while only 52 degrees is required in the three houses on the north side of the connecting house. The outer houses in each of the blocks are to have three feet of glass and three feet of concrete in one side and one end wall, while the middle houses in each block have no exposed side walls. To heat the outside houses to 60 degrees use, in addition to the 2-inch main, six 2-inch returns, while for the middle house of this block only five returns will be needed. In the block for which 52 degrees is desired, five returns will be needed in the outside houses and four returns
