YOU ARE SQUANDERING YOUR COAL 



Abusing your plants and reducing your crop 



If you are still clinging to the primitive and antiquated gravity system of circulating 

 hot water. Below is another testimonial as to what a man gets when he takes the 

 Automatic Circulator into partnership. 



From the proprietor of a large eastern carnation growing establishment where a 

 complete system has just been installed. "The water only loses about five 

 degrees of heat on the longest run we have, whereas there was a loss of fifty to 

 sixty degrees when we depended on gravity, which is gratifying." B3 



Another firm, one of the largest and most notable in the Central West, says: 

 "At this time of year we cannot make many changes, but from what I observe 

 will change to hoi water next .summer" 



The Story of the Automatic Circulator is 



Defective Circuhtion Absolutely Annihilated. Regular and Uniform Temperature in 

 Every Part of the House Day and Night. It Never Sleeps, but Works While YOU 

 Sleep. An Indispensable Feature of the Modern Greenhou'^e Heating System. Write 

 and tell us your present equipment and we will tell you where and how you can save 

 coal, labor and worry and increase your product. The address of the writers of the 

 above testimonials will be given on application.

NEWS NOTES. 

 Kennett Sq., Pa. — Two greenhouses 

 belonging to C. M. Swayne were badly 

 crushed under the weight of snow on 

 Christmas day. 



Kinmoth Falls, Ore.— Arthur C. 

 Lewis has perfected a plan for heat- 

 ing his greenhouses with water piped 

 from a hot spring. Since tapping the 

 subterranean stream the temperature 



of the water has Increased at the 

 rate of about 10 degrees F. a week. 



Detroit, Mich. — A section of the 

 boiler blew out on Christmas eve at 

 the greenhouse of F. Kalbe. To add 

 to the difficulty he could not procure 

 another section in this locality and 

 had to wire BulTalo. It is to be hoped 

 that weather conditions stay moderate, 

 thereby preventing further damage to 

 his property.
