(ireenhonse 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 Eeview 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 Ijuy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



MAEINQ A COIL BOILER. 



My greenhouse is 10x80 and ten feet 

 high to the ridge. My present heating 

 system consists of a furnace and a sin- 

 gle row of stovepipes running the length 

 of the house, under one bench, but this 

 arrangement is unsatisfactory. The 

 furnace is about 3x4 feet and about two 

 and one-half feet high. "Would I get 

 better results by putting coils in the 

 furnace? If so, .what size of pipe would 

 you suggest for the purpose and how 

 many coils should the furnace contain? 

 What piping would be needed in the 

 greenhouse, to maintain a temperature 

 of 60 degrees in zero weather? 



P. W.— Wash. 



We would prefer to put in a regular 

 hot water boiler, rated for 480 square 

 feet of radiation, or even to use a sec- 

 ondhand tubular steam boiler with a 

 grate twenty to twenty-four inches 

 square. However, if the furnace de- 

 scribed is so located that the top will 

 be below the lower ends of the return 

 <;oils, it will be possible to put heating 

 coils inside and use them as a hot 

 water boiler. 



We would use eight 2-inch pipes for 

 the coils, with the necessary ells and 

 close nipples, and would have the pipes 

 the length of the inside of the furnace. 

 Start one coil on each side of the fur- 

 nace at the back end and about eight 

 inches above the grate. Carry these 

 pipes to the front end of the furnace, 

 and return each of them to the back 

 df the furnace along the side, about 

 three inches above the first pipes. 

 There connect each of these pipes with 

 other pipes running to the front of the 

 furnace over the fire-box, and then re- 

 turn these to the r^r end. You will 

 then have two separate coils in the fur- 

 nace, each consisting of two pipes, one 

 above the other, on each side of the 

 furnace, and two others on their re- 

 spective sides overhead. Connect the 

 lower end of each of these coils with 

 the returns from each side of the house 

 and the upper ends with the flb-W pipes.

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY: 



Kroeschell Boiler — ^Half the Coal and 

 Half the Work ^ 

 Your No. 13 Boiler is carrying 

 25,000 sq. ft. of glass, and I can 

 keep it at 60° in tlie coldest -weather 

 without any trouble. I have three 

 cast iron boilers also, heating a range 

 of 25,000 sq. ft. of glass, but the 

 No. 13 Kroeschell Boiler only takes 

 half the coal and half the work to get 

 the same results. 



I J. G. FRISZ, Vincennes, Ind. 



Kroeschell Boiler Better Than Tubu- 

 lar Boilers or Oast Iron Boilers 



Washington Court House, Ohio. 

 Have used upright boiler, tubular 

 boiler and cast iron boiler. The 

 Kroeschell Boiler heats up better and 

 easier than any other boiler we have 

 ever had anything to do with. If we 

 ever buy another, it will certainly 

 be a Kroeschell. 



Very truly yours, 



POOLE & PURLLANT. 



Ca4t Iron Cannot Be Compared with 

 Kroeschell 



We bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1904. 

 It takes care of 5000 sq. ft. of glass, 

 and we could add 2000 more. We are 

 very well satisfied. We used a cast 

 iron boiler before we had yours. It 

 cannot be compared Vith the Kroe- 

 schell boiler. Your boiler has cer- 

 tainly a great capacity for heating

 Montreal, Canada. 



Cast Iron Boilers Break Down 

 Have fired greenhouse boilers since 

 1885, both steam and hot water. 

 Yours suits me the best. I have two 

 of your boilers. At one time I had 

 two cast iron boilers working to- 

 gether, and during a blizzard the 

 rear section of one boiler gave out 

 and the front section of the other 

 sprung a crack a couple of months 

 later. No more cast iron boilers for 

 me. 1 came very close to freezing 

 out In both instances. 



G. M. THOST, De Soto, Mo. 



Cast Iron Boiler Cracked in Two 

 Years 



We have a No. 4 Kroeschell Boiler. 

 It takes care of 7000 sq. ft. of glass; 

 It would take care of twice that 

 amount. 



I first had a new cast iron boiler 

 which lasted two years, when it 

 cracked to pieces. The second was a 

 second-hand boiler. 



I consider your boiler the best pay- 

 ing investment I ever made. 



You can refer anyone to us.

Cast Iron Boilers Cause Freeze-out — 

 Kroeschell Boilers No Worry 



I bought a No. 2 boiler in 1902. 

 Takes care of 7000 sq. ft. of glass — 

 would take care of 2000 more. I have 

 had a cast iron boiler, but it broke 

 down twice in four years, always in 

 the coldest weather. It broke down 

 Dec. 29, 1904, and I lost all my stock 

 in consequence. I have now two No. 2 

 and one No. 6 Kroeschell boilers and 

 do not worry about their breaking 

 down.

Kroeschell Versus Oast IroB 



The No. 7 Boiler I bought from you 

 is heating 14,000 stj. ft. of glass; I 

 think it can take care of 16,000 ft. 

 I do not have any trouble to keep up 

 temperature of 50° in the coldest 

 weather. I fire only once after 12 

 o'clock midnight. The boiler has 

 given perfect satisfaction. I have 

 four cast Iron boilers — like the Kroe- 

 schell best of all. If anyone wishes 

 to inquire about your boiler, let them 

 write me, for I think your boilers are 

 good ones.

The Kroeschell Does Our Work Easier 

 Than Cast Iron Boilers and Saves 



20 to 25% Fuel 

 The No. 4 boiler is heating 10,000 

 sq. ft. of glass — it would take care 

 of 13,000 sq. ft. easy. Have no 

 trouble to keep temperatures of 60 

 and 60 degrees in coldest weather. 

 The boiler has given perfect satisfac- 

 tion. We had two cast iron boilers, 

 one rated for 1200 ft. of pipe and one 

 rated for 1500 ft. These boilers never 

 did the work at their best and when 

 the greenhouses were new. According 

 to our experience with yours, we wiU 

 »ave 20 to 25 per cent of fuel.
