A VALUABLE HEATING APPLI- 

 ANCE. 

 Again, the active brain of the scii 

 tiii» b "i 1 er has been busj for the 

 benefit of thi gn i nhou i and 



in our advertising columns will be 

 found the latesi addition to the im- 

 provements intended to simplify and 

 perfecl the methods of heating green- 

 houses by hot water circulation. The 

 new features oi the Automatic Circu- 

 lator now offered for the first time by 

 the W. W. Castle Company are that 

 the apparatus is attached to either ilow 

 or return pipes in a hot water system, 

 requiring no base to be levelled up to 

 truth with pipe, thereby obviating 

 any opening in same and causing bind- 

 ing in propeller shaft, and equipped 

 with a valve so constructed that in 

 case anything should retard or stop 

 the impelling propeller the flow of 

 water is not checked but immediately 

 automatically shifts itself so that the 

 gravity propulsion is put into opera- 

 tion and will take care of the circu- 

 lation. The Castle Company has 

 gained the confidence ot the trade in a 

 marked degree, considering the brief 

 time they have been in the field. Two 

 contracts to install their largest boiler 

 were received in one day this week.

THE U-BAR RECOMMENDED 

 ABROAD. 

 Speaking of greenhouses, it would 

 appear that home builders might learn 

 a little in America. The extraordinary 

 growth of the florists' tiade in the 

 United States has, apparently, set in- 

 genious minds to work, and new ideas 

 in house fitments are constantly ap- 

 pearing. To my mind, the U-bar 

 greenhouses would be of service to 

 many on this side, as the idea does 

 away with the sash bar plate and gut- 

 ter. This means a maximum of light, 

 and no bother with rotting sash bars, 

 as they are all iron. Apart from this, 

 the U-bar gives a very neat finish. —

 in cover designing and will not fail 

 to serve well its purpose in catching 

 and inducing a desire to look 

 within.
