Greenhouse Heating. 



SxjBSOitiBEBS are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Review to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



THE COAI. MABKET. 



Since the last boom in the coal busi- 

 ness, unseasonably mild weather has 

 intervened, but the unfilled orders that 

 accumulated during the cold wave are 

 still almost suflScient to keep the entire 

 trade busy, from the mine operators to 

 the retailers. Besides, many users of 

 coal, actuated by the fear that the 

 miners may strike at the expiration of 

 their present wage contract, are buying 

 fuel for storage. There seem to be 

 good reasons for hoping that a strike 

 may be avoided, but many of the con- 

 sumers believ^ that full coal bins are 

 the best guarantee against future 

 trouble and are acting accordingly. 

 Thus the held-over orders, combined 

 with the demand for fuel for storage, 

 are keeping the market firm. The call 

 for mine-run smokeless is fairly strong 

 and the circular price, $1.40 at the 

 mines, is generally maintained. 



WANTS A HiaHEB TEMPERATUEE. 



My greenhouses are piped for hot 

 water heat. One of the houses is 25x 

 50; it is exposed on both sides and the 

 walls contain three feet of glass and 

 two and one-half feet of board siding; 

 the gables are not exposed; it has 

 twelve 4-inch flows and return mains, 

 running the length of the house. An- 

 other house is 17x32, running north and 

 south; it has five 4-inch flows and re- 

 turns, running around it. Another 

 house is 15x20, exposed on three sides; 

 it has eight 4-inch pipes. There is also 

 a lean-to, 8x25, which has three 4-inch 

 pipes in it. A hot water boiler is in- 

 stalled. Though the circulation seems 

 to be good, I can not keep a tempera- 

 ture of 50 degrees when the outside 

 temperatufe is 5 or 10 degrees above 

 zero, except with strenuous firing. 



Can I install an auxiliary steam boil- 

 er, and thus, with the help of the hot 

 water boiler, raise the temperature in 

 the houses to 65 degrees in zero weath- 

 er! What is the smallest size of pipe 

 that I could use successfully with it.

and how should the pipes be run to be 

 drained of condensation f Where should 

 the pipes be located! The present hot 

 water pipes are under the benches. The 

 steam plant must be located on the 

 greenhouse level. What size of steam 

 boiler is necessarj-? Can I burn wood 

 in itt Would a stationary steam boiler 

 do the work satisfactorily, or would it 

 be better to get a sectional steam boil- i 



THE HEATING PROBLEM SOLVED 



JurilMI strictly icearitai ta ■celiNical ■trits, H'< 

 the METROPOLITM PMENTED BOILER fN wmt. 



Because of their proven ecientlflcally perfect con- 

 •tmction. Metropolitan Patented Boilers will beat a 

 fflven amonnt of water quicker, with less fuel and 

 less attention than any other boiler on the market. 



The remarkable heatingr efficiency and quick 

 steamlnK qualities of these boilers are due to tbelr 

 large and effective heating surface. 



Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler 

 merit:— Smooth, perfect finished castings. Push nip- 

 ple connecUons. Large fire box. providing ample 

 combustion chamber, and permitting a sufficient 

 charge of fuel to require attention only at long inter- 

 vals. Deep ash pit. making the removal of ashea a 

 slight task. Large flues, making the boiler easy to 

 clean. Orates that are made for hard usage and long 

 service. \nd above all, they are Fnel Saving, not 

 Fuel Wasting. 



Wq also make soft coal boilers which are smoke- 

 less, and save 60 per cent in coal.
