Having a discussion recently with one of your subscribers on the subject of hot- water heating, he showed me what the Florist has had to say about it. I found a great variety of opinions expressed by its correspondents as to how the pipes should be laid iu greenhouses to get the best circulation. It would seem as if this were a very simple matter to decide, but the writers are far from agreeing, and all of the methods offered must fail in a degree to give the best results. l I infer that the most common way here- | tofore has been to lay the pipes with a i gradual rise from the boiler to the oppo- site end of the house, and with a descent from that point back to the boiler. Some have thought that if the water were carried directly up to the highest point at the start, it makes no difference what course \ it takes in its going and returning; but the prevailing opinion seems to be now that the water, after reaching its highest level, as directly as possible, should grad- ually descend from that point through- out the rest of its course.
