' — - ??????» Sdbsgeubers are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse heating that are not understood. But please do not ask The Beview to make a choice of ap- paratus for you. The greenhouse heating equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, tiie best for the trade to Duy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. DEPENDS Olt STYLE OF BEDS. I am planning to erect a small green- house and should like to get the advice of The Eeview's Heating Department about the piping of it. The house will be 18x36, with 6-foot side walls, each containing three feet of glass. It will be an even-span house, running east and west, with a boiler room and potting shed across the west end. I propose to use hot water and shall want a tempera- ture of 70 degrees in zero weather. What size and arrangement of pipes will be best for this house? How far below the level of the greenhouse floor should the boiler be placed, for best results? H. M, D.—Tenn. To heat a greenhouse 18x36, with three feet of glass in the side walls, to 70 degrees in zero weather, we would use three 2i^-inch flow pip^, placing one upon each plate and the other two feet below the ridge. For the return coils place three 2-inch pipes on each side wall and five under the middle bench. In case solid beds are used, it would be possible to heat the house with a 2%-inch flow pipe upon each plate and with six 2-inch returns on each wall. While a fairly good circulation may be secured if the top of the boiler is even with the floor of the greenhouse, we would prefer to place the boiler two feet lower. "PIPED WITHOUT ANY ; We are repiping three houses which we recently purchased, and which are now piped without any system at all. The houses are each 28^^x100. We have a 35-horsepower steam boiler.
