HEATING. 



Judging from the number of inquiries. 

 it seems that the heating problem is yet 

 an unsolved problem for a good many 

 florists and I am, myself, a little in 

 doubt. Our ground is springy and a 

 heater on the level of the piping would 

 be the thing. It is never recommended, 

 but I see the fine baiting plants in our 

 trolley and steam cars; they seem to 

 give the best of satisfaction and are on a 

 dead level. One is the Baker heater 

 made in New York and the other the 

 Peter Smith heater made in Detroit. I 

 wish L. C. C. would give us some light 

 on this system. G. O. K. 



While I have no personal knowledge of 

 the two heaters mentioned, I have no 

 doubt that they are hot water heaters 

 provided with an overhead riser and a 

 closed expansion tank. This system can 

 be worked on the level and was at one 

 time quite extensively used in car heat- 

 ing. While they serve the purpose for 

 which they are intended, the efficiency 

 from such systems is in general lower 

 than in plants where there is a good 

 fall in the returns and the boiler is 

 placed below tbe level of the return or 

 radiating pipes. 



With large plants the heating plant 

 is frequently placed on the surface of 

 the ground and on a level with the 

 houses. In fact the water line in the 

 boilers is often far above the level of 

 the radiating pipes. Here the gravity 

 system is replaced by auxiliary steam or 

 jlectric pumps, which are used to circu- 

 late ,<the water in a hot water system or 

 Dump the return water into the boilers 

 if steam is used. Small steam plants 

 ean be worked on this plan by using an 

 automatic steam trap to lift the return 

 water and discharge it into the boiler. 



The science of heating with' steam and 

 hot water has been so far perfected as 

 to enable us to quite easily overcome 

 most, if not all, the problems we are 

 likely to meet in greenhouse heating.

Superior Boilers Are Good Boilers. 



Read what our customers say about them: 



South Bend. Ind., April 4, 1904. 

 ''Superior to any Hot Water BoUer we have ever 

 used. Vou certainly have placed the right name to your 

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

 sired points when zero weatner comes. Night after 

 night the past severe winter weather ga\e your Boiler 

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

 ior Boiler." Yours truly. Treanor & Rettic.
