Creenhoase Heating. 



Subscribers 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 Beview 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 ipeeial 

 field of its adaptation. 



WILL INSTALL A GENEBATOB. 



Enclosed you will find a sketch of 

 my range of four greenhouses, which 

 run east and west. Please let me know 

 how to pipe houses No. 3 and 4, on the 

 north side of the range. Houses No. 1 

 and 2 are already piped. We heat with 

 hot water and I wish to use 2-inch pipe 

 for the returns. House No. 3 will be 

 used for roses, No. 4 for sweet peas 

 and violets. The houses adjoin, but 

 have a partition between them. The 

 north wall of house No. 4 contains four 

 feet of glass. The gable ends are ex- 

 posed. The boiler is in a pit nine feet 

 deep. I intend to install a generator; 

 what size will be needed! The houses 

 are six and one-half feet high to the 

 gutters and twelve feet high to the 

 ridge. E. J. C— O. 



For house No. 3, which, as shown by 

 the sketch, is 22%xl50, we would use 

 three 2%-inch flow pipes, placing one 

 on each plate and the other three feet 

 below the ridge. To maintain a tem- 

 perature of 65 degrees, we would pro- 

 vide three coils, each containing three 

 2-inch return pipes. One of these 

 should be on each wall, or under the 

 side benches, and the other coil should 

 be under the middle benches. In house 

 No. 4 we would also put in three flow 

 pipes, but, although the house is one 

 foot wider than house No. 3 and has 

 four feet of glass in the outside wall, 

 it will be possible to maintain a tem- 

 perature of 55 degrees by using eight 

 2-inch returns. 



These houses will contain about 2,- 

 400 square feet of radiation, and, if the 

 other houses have about the same 

 amount, the generator should be able 

 to handle a system with approximately 

 5,000 square feet of radiation. 



VAEIOUS FACTS AND FIGUBES. 



I have a sectional hot water boiler, 

 48x72, with an 11-inch flue opening. The 

 rating of the boiler is 2,700 feet. Will 

 you please state the width and height 



WHKN YOU BUY-arr A KROISCHILL

The Kroeschell 



la making the most 

 wonderful greenhouse 

 heating record in the 

 world. Florists who 

 have used other makes 

 are constantly giving 

 the Kroeschell the 

 highest praise. 



10.788,000 BQ. ft. 

 of glass was equipped 

 with the Kroeschell 

 Boiler during the past 

 five years. 



The Kroeschell 



has replaced hun- 

 dred s of cast iron boil- 

 ers. In every case 

 higher temperatures 

 are secured with the 

 Kroeschell with the 

 same piping and with 

 less fuel. 



The Kroeschell is 

 sold direct from fac- 

 tory to users. This 

 eliminates the unnec- 

 essary middleman's 

 profit. 



nnndreds of FloriBta' Review n-aders are using the Kroeschell 

 Boiler and mighty is their pitoise. The year of 1915 brought an 

 enormous nnmber of new customers who saw our boiler in opera- 

 tion at other places. We attribute the large sales of this season to 

 the good work the Kroeschell Boiler Is doing everywhere. 



With bur policy— "the customers' Interest first" — perfection of construction — 

 factory to user prir«s — honest and "true blue" boiler ratings — ^you simply cannot 

 lose. 



Expressions From Hen Who Know Boilers 



ONE OF BOSTON'S WELL KNOWN 

 OBOWEBS. 

 The Kroeschell bns taken the place of 

 four cast Iron boilers at a biK saving la 

 coal. We are using it now for tUe fifth 

 year. The longer we use it the better 

 we llltc It.

I have used Kroeschell Boilers ever since 

 I built my first greenhouse. They have 

 always given me the very best satisfaction 

 and I believe them as good boilers as 

 money can buy.

OHIO'S CELEBRATED CYCLAKEN 



BFECIALIBT. 

 After using your No. 12 Kroeschell 

 Boiler I cnme to the conclusion that had 

 I to install more boilers it would be the 

 Kroeschell and no other. It really is a 

 pleasure to heat, no trouble to get the 

 desired beat in a very short time.

Begardlntr the Kroeschell. it is the best 

 we have ever had and satisfactory beyond 

 our expectations. It heats up especially 

 quick and has saved us considerably al- 

 ready In the price of fuel. When we are 

 In need of another boiler we will g:lve the 

 Kroeschell the first consideration.

A BIO KAN IN THE TLOmCXTLTXTRAL 

 WOBLO. 



The Kroeschell Boiler I installed last 

 year nsually runs from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. 

 without attention. I do not have the 

 least trouble to keep temperatures in the 

 coldest weather. The boiler has given en- 

 tire satisfaction. 



The Kroeschell is the l)e8t boiler we 

 have ever handled.

A FAMOXrS ILLINOIS ROSE RANGE. 

 In speaking of the Kroeschell Boiler as 

 an economical greenbouso boiler I cannot 

 say too much. Personally I have had the 

 pleasure or misfortune to fire nearly every 

 make of O. H. Boiler on the market and 

 I can safely say the Kroeschell is the 

 best of tbem ail.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST KTJSH- 

 ROOK PLANT. 



We spent $100,000 in building and 

 equipping the largest modern mushroom 

 plant in the worhl. We purchased In 

 every instance the best of everything we 

 could get. and the fact that we installed 

 a Kroeschell Boiler to furuish our heat Is 

 sufficient evidence of our opinion of same. 



Since installlnK this boIl<-r and operat- 

 ing it we have never had any reason to 

 change our opinion.

A WELL KNOWN CARNATION PRIZE 

 WINNER. 



The carnation range of Mr. Nic Zweifel, 

 of North Milwaukee, consists of nearly 

 70,000 sq. ft. of glass and the water plant 

 Is heated by a No. 14 and No. 15 Kroe- 

 schell Boiler and Kroeschell Generator. 

 The proiluct of the plant is known 

 throughout the West for its fine quality. 

 Mr. Z. has used different kinds of boilers. 

 As for t'le Kro«scl!ell, he says: "I think 

 the Kroeschell Boilers are the best boilers 

 a florist can buy."
