I had a cast iron 8-section boiler before, 

 but was afraid it would crack to pieces. 

 The Kroesrhell Boiler is certainly a 

 fuel-saver. My coal bill to heat 5000 sq. 

 ft. of glass surface with your boiler is less 

 than last winter's coal bill, when I only 

 had 2050 sq. ft. of glass, heated with the 

 8-section cast iron boiler. 



Your boiler burns any kind of fuel. I 

 would not have another boiler than a 

 Kroeschell, and will recommend when- 

 ever I get a chance,

PRESENT PIPING A FAILURE. 



We have two greenhouses, as shown 

 in the enclosed diagram. We are grow- 

 ing lettuce and wish to maintain a 

 temperature of 45 degrees at night in 

 /:ero weather. The houses are 130 feet 

 long and run east and west. There 

 IS glass in both ends and in the south 

 '^ide. The houses are new and well 

 built, but unsheltered. We do not 

 •^eem to be able to get results with 

 the present piping. How much more 

 pipe should be required? We are grow- 

 ing the lettuce on the ground. Do yon 

 not think this crop does much better 

 on benches! B. G. — Okla. 



The accompanying sketch shows two 

 nouses, each seventeen feet wide, with 

 'I common gutter between them and the 

 wall open underneath. From the de- 

 scription we are not sure whether the 

 present piping consists of one 2-inch 

 now and four returns for each house, 

 '^r whether the radiation described an-

swers for the two houses. At any rate, 

 it would .appear that an attempt is 

 being made to supply four 2-inch re- 

 turns, 130 feet long, with a 2-inch flow 

 pipe. Including the radiating surface 

 of the flow pipe, there will be over 400 

 square feet of radiation to be supplied 

 by a 2-inch flow, which is twice as 

 much as it can handle to advantage. 



Even though there are four 2-inch 

 returns and one flow in each house, this 

 would not be suflBcient to maintain 45 

 degrees in zero weather. We suggest 

 the use of one 2i^-inch flow and two 2- 

 inch returns on each side of each 

 house, making four flows and eight re- 

 turns for the two houses. Except in 

 unusually severe weather, it would an- 

 swer if but one flow and three returns 

 are placed upon the posts under the 

 gutter to answer for the inside portion 

 of both houses, but for zero weather 

 two flows and four returns will save in 

 labor and fuel.
