principles of boiler construction that were

 the bad 



FEATURES 



We have, therefore, a boiler that embodies 

 a multitude of desirable features and its 

 work has proved its excellent construction. 

 For instance, 



H, J. LEECH, Yeadon, Del. Co., Pa., says: 



" The No. 7(1 Standard Sectional Steam 

 Boiler bought in I8i'y is all you claimed it 

 to be. It did all the heating for my 3000 

 feet of glass with one ton of pea coal per 

 week, and I earned a temperature of^ 65 

 degrees in the coldest weather we had. 4 

 above zero. I can run my fire by one firing 

 five hours at a time and have no trouble in 

 keeping up 7 lbs. of steam. It is the best, 

 quickest and most perfect steam generator 

 1 have ever seen with such a small amount 

 of coal. It has been inspected by a large 

 number of florists and ihey all think well 

 of it, and I am sure you will hear from 

 some of them." 



WHAT HIS BOILER has done 



every boiler 

 we make will do. We want to hear from 

 every florist who has an unsatisfactory 

 heating apparatus, whether he buys or 

 not. \Ve can give him information that 

 will be valuable and will send, without 

 charge, our NEA GREENHOUSE BOHER 

 CATAlOG which should be a HANDBOOK 

 for e\ery florist.
