The houses are heated by a No, 8 Furmanhot water heater, put in by the Herendeen Manufactur-ing Co., of Geneva, N. Y. The method of constructingthe walls, roof, benches, and the heating coils is shown 18S GKEEKHOUSE AERAI5GEME]SrT OF GREENHOUSES. 189 in Figs. 14, 17 and 26, except that the coils here usedare double. Each room is piped independently, andeach coil is so arranged that heat can be shut off inwhole or in part from one room without affecting • theothers. In the rear of the new greenhouses, as shownin the ground plan, arc three other houses, that wereerected some fifteen years ago. They are entirely con-Btructed of wood, and although kept well painted, areshowing signs of decay in some places. They are heatedby a Spence hot water heater, and the radiating surfaceis supplied by two-inch flow pipes and one and one-halfinch returns. Similar in construction, in many respects, to thenew greenhouses described above, are those shown inFig. 102. The principal difference is in the form of theroof of the conservatory, which is curvilinear, and inthe arrangement of the growing houses. This rangewas erected by Thos. AY. Weathereds Sons, at NewDorp, Staten Island. A larger and more expensive range
