Greenhonse Heating, 



TWO CONNECTED GREENHOUSES. 



We expect to build two connected 

 greenhouses, each 24x100, running east 

 and west. The eaves will be six feet 

 high. The north wall will be boarded 

 or planked. The south wall will have 

 three feet of glass and the other three 

 feet will be planked. The ends, which 

 will be nine feet high to the peak, will 

 be planked to a height of three feet; 

 above that they will be glass. We shall 

 use 16x20 glass. The benches will be 

 raised ones. The service building and 

 boiler room will be in the southeast 

 corner. The outside temperature seldom 

 drops lower here than 10 degrees above 

 zero. We wish to maintain a tempera- 

 ture of 60 degrees. Please tell us what 

 size of flows and returns to use and 

 ■where to put them. What should be 

 the rating of the boiler? 



C. F. C— Miss. 



About 1,500 square feet of radiation 

 will be required in the two houses, but 

 for economy in fuel and care we would 

 select a hot water boiler rated for 2,000 

 square feet of radiating surface. 



We would run a 2%-inch flow pipe 

 under each ridge, and one upon the out- 

 side plate in each house, with another, 

 making five flows in all,' under the gut- 

 ter between the houses. For the re- 

 turns use four 2-inch pipes on the south 

 wall of the south house and three on the 

 north wall of the north house. Under the 

 middle benches of each house distribute 

 three returns, to be connected with the 

 flow pipes overhead. Upon the middle 

 ■wall run five returns, to be joined at the 

 farther end of the house to the corre- 

 sponding flow pipe. If there is a parti- 

 tion between the houses, run the flow 

 pipe and two returns in the south room 

 and the three other returns in the north 

 room. Run the flow pipes with a slight 

 fall, and connect each of them with the 

 expansion tank at the highest point. 



A SMALL 2-ROOM GREENHOUSE. 



Enclosed you will find a diagram of 

 a small greenhouse, one compartment of 

 which is for heat-loving plants, such as 

 cucumbers, the other for carnations, etc. 

 I intend to heat with hot water. What 

 capacity of boiler will be required? 

 Can you give me the details of the pip- 



ings

TO THE MAN WHO NEEDS A BOILER 



The customers' Interest first — la the basis of the Kroeschell standard, and this principle 

 makes the Kroeschell policy the most liberal of all in the greenhouse boiler business. 

 The great variety of boilers that we make places us In a commanding position. We 

 make every type of boiler that Is used, from the smallest house heater to the largest 

 water tube steam boiler (600 horse power). For the above reason we can furnish the 

 most efficient boiler unit In every case. 



It is the Kroeschell principle to suppiy only that type of boiler which is best suited to 

 the conditions, and under no circumstances do we take any other stand. 



The Kroeschell 



is making the most 

 wonderful greenhouse 

 heating record in the 

 world. Florists who 

 have used other makes 

 are constantly giving 

 the Kroeschell the 

 highest praise. 



18,468,SS0 SQ. ft. 

 of glas3 was eauipped 

 with the Kroeschell 

 Boiler during the past 

 five years. 



The Kroeschell 



has replaced hundreds 

 of cast iron boilers. In 

 every case higher tem- 

 peratures 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. 



Every boiler made at our works is of the highest standard. Material — governed 

 by Kroeschell specifications — the best that money and brains can produce. 

 Workmanship — the kind that is an inspiration to all other boiler makers. 

 Boiler efficiency — determined by actual tests under working conditions. Boiler 

 ratings — honest and true blue — guaranteed actual working capacities. 



rrobably you have wondered why the Kroeschell Greenhouse BoUer is not sold by any 

 of the greenhouse construction companies. In Justice to all concerned we feel it is our 

 duty to state that the KroescheU Boiler is never sold by anyone but — The KROESCHELL. 

 BROS. CO. — We have no agents, and as ou^ prices are based on sales direct from fac- 

 tory to user, we do not quote anyone dealing in hollers special resale prices. Our stand 

 in this matter has brought out a lot of competition; nevertheless, the great efflciency 

 of the Kroeschell Greenhouse Boiler cannot be disputed, and in spite of the keen com- 

 petition the Kroeschell Greenhouse Boiler is heating more glass than any other make — 

 "DO NOT GET CHEATED OCT OF THE KROESCHELL BUT PLACE YOUR ORDER 

 DIRECT AT ONCE." 



Kricschell Boiler— Hilf the Ciil ind 

 lalf the Work 



Your No. 13 Boiler is carrying 

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

 it at 60 degrees in the 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. 



The Kroeschell Is doing the same 

 work as good and as saving as ever. 

 Me for Kroeschell Boilers.

Kroeschell Best of AU 



Our No. 6 Kroeschell Boiler is heat- 

 ing 15,000 sq. ft. of glass, and it 

 would take care of more. We carry 

 a temperature from 70 to 85 degrees, 

 and have had no trouble in regard 

 to this. The Kroeschell has given 

 entire satisfaction. 



Have had to contend with nearly 

 every other make of boiler on the 

 market, and in my estimation the 

 Kroescliell surpasses, without ex- 

 ception, any type or make.

Get the Kroeschell First 



Several years ago Mr. Pontlng corresponded with us in regard 

 to the Kroeschell Hot Water Boiler, but was persuaded to install 

 two sectional cast iron boilers which were claimed to be superior 

 to the Kroeschell 



In the meantime we placed a number of Kroeschell Boilers in 

 the immediate vicinity of Mr. Pontlng, and he could not help 

 but notice their great efflciency. and last year, while at the con- 

 vention, he placed his order for his first Kroeschell. The fol- 

 lowing letter speaks for itself: 



"We like the Kroeschell Boiler very much. It gives entire 

 satisfaction, and it is so easy to flre. I will trade yon the two 

 cast iron sectional boilers for another like the Kroeschell I have." 



July 16, 1913, Cleveland, Ohio. (Signed) FRED PONTING. 



Kroeschell Replaces Cast Iron 



In 1012 our cast iron sectional 

 boiler cracked in one section and we 

 ordered a No. Shi Kroeschell Boiler 

 by telegraph. This boiler is heating 

 10,200 sq. ft. of glass, besides the 

 office and potting shed, and you will 

 note this Is 1200 ft. more than its 

 rating. We have no trouble to main- 

 tain proper temperatures at any 

 time and the boiler has given per- 

 fect satisfaction. 



With the Kroeschell we have added 

 one more house, but have not used 

 any more coal than with the cast 

 iron boiler and 3000 ft. less to heat. 

 One cast iron break-down was enough 

 for us, for we have found it pays to 

 get the best — the Kroeschell. 



(Signed) MICHLER BROS. CO. 

 July 17, 1913, Lexington, Ky. 



KroescheU Replaces 3 Cast Iron Boilers 



The No. 6 Kroeschell which we 

 purchased some years ago is heating 

 18,000 sq. ft. of glass and we should 

 judge that it would take care of 

 5000 or 6000 ft. more easily. 



Our houses require a temperature 

 of 50 to 52 degrees at night, and we 

 certainly do not have the least trou- 

 ble to keep temperatures in the cold- 

 est weather. We do not have to fire 

 our boiler as often aa our brother 

 florists who are using different makes. 

 The Kroeschell has replaced three 

 cast Iron sectional boilers, and it 

 certainly has given entire satisfac- 

 tion. 



It only takes a few words to ex- 

 press the good quality of your boilers 

 and they are as follows: "Of all 

 firms handling boilers and advertising 

 them truthfully, the party buying a 

 boiler would have to get the Kroes- 

 chell, as you are certainly advertising 

 nothing but facts."
