COST OF HEATING BY GAS. 



Could some one having knowledge 

 or experience with gas (artificial), 

 consuming furnaces inform me 

 through the columns of Hobticultube 

 whether they would be practical for 

 heating greenhouses, say up to ten or 

 fifteen thousand square feet of glass? 

 And if so, how would the cost of fuel, 

 coal at $4.00 per ton run of mine and 

 gas at 36 cents per 1000 compare? 

 Respectfully, 



Habby E. Cooper.

Leominster, Mass. — Fire was dis- 

 covered in the boilerroom of the 

 greenhouse owned by Walter E. Allen 

 at 185 Exchange street, on January 1, 

 causing a loss of $500. The green- 

 .house was filled with tomato vines 

 loaded with half ripe tomatoes. It 

 took the firemen almost two hours to 

 put out the fire and the end of the 

 building, where the boiler is located, 

 was burned off. While the firemen 

 were putting out the fire, Mr. Allen 

 and his neighbors were harvesting the 

 tomatoes. The intense cold froze up 

 a large part of the crop. 



The FlurlHlff Hall AnHoclntlon rate of In- 

 surance from Not. let, 1916 to Nov. 1st, 

 1917 will be twenty cents per hundred 

 square feet of Mingle (hick gtaHit and eight 

 rents per hundred nqiiare feet of double 

 thick glass. For particulars, address.
