HEATING. 



In piping a greenhouse fur heating 

 with water it is generally recommended 

 to carry a large flow pipe to the extreme 

 end of the house and there enter the coil 

 of smaller pipes forming the return. 1 

 have used this system of arranging pipes 

 but have always found the extreme end 

 of the house much warmer than the end 

 near the boiler. As a remedy I have 

 thought it might be best to reverse mat- 

 ters, letting the small pipes carry the 

 flow in a downward course to the far- 

 thest end and collect and return through 

 the large pipe, placing it below the coil 

 instead of above. This would divide the 

 water and cause a more rapid radiation 

 at the beginning of the flow. Will you 

 kindly advise me in this matter and give 

 the results of actual tests if any have 

 been made. F- A. H. 



I know of no experiment in which the 

 heating pipes have been arranged in the 

 manner described. I am skeptical regard- 

 ing the outcome of the modification sug- 

 gested, for if with the present arrange- 

 ment the end nearest the boiler is too 

 cool it is evident the radiating coils are 

 too long for the rate of flow. If the 

 system were to be reversed and the flow 

 reduced by the friction through the small 

 pipes to the far end of the house I fear 

 the result would be that the far end of 

 the house would be even colder than the 

 end near the boiler is now. It would be 

 safer to place a short relay coil in the 

 end of the house near the boiler if too 

 cool, rather than to attempt to equalize 

 the temperature by reversing the system.

Avon, N. Y. — The Erie railroad has 

 decided to go out of the gardening bus- 

 iness and will not plant its station 

 grounds in the future. The green- 

 houses here were established twenty 

 years ago in charge of James Sutoliffe, 

 who has managed the works ever since. 

 He has purchased the stock now in the 

 greenhouses and as soon as he has sold 

 it out they will be torn down. 



Superior Boilers Are Good Boilers. 



Read what our customerslsay about them: 



South Bend. Ind., April 4. 1904. 

 "Superior to any Hot Water Boiler we have ever 

 used. You certainly have placed the right name to your 

 Boilers, no effort at all to keep the temperature at de. 

 sired points when zero weather comes. Night after 

 night the past severe winter weather gave yotir Boiler 

 a good test. We are more than pleased with the Super- 

 ior Boiler." Yours truly, Treanor & Rettic.

HESE RESERVOIR VASES 

 do not need watering oftener 

 than every ten or fifteen 

 days. The soil remains moist, 

 open and loose. 



They are very desirable for Ceme- 

 teries or other places where they 

 cannot be frequently watered. 



Just enough water is drawn up 

 into the soil through the sponge 

 or moss to keep plants in growing 

 and healthy condition. 



Thousands of Reservoir Vases 

 are in use on lawns and cemeteries 

 all over the country.
