iSreenhonse 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 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. 



GET YOUE COAI. IN NOW. 



Growers are warned to get their coal 

 bins filled to capacity, and lucky is he 

 who has space enough to store his sea- 

 son 's requirements of fuel. 



The indications are that the arrival 

 of winter, with its slower movement of 

 cars, will bring the most acute car 

 famine in the history of American rail- 

 roading, a shortage the like of which 

 no grower with fast-disappearing coal 

 supplies ever has experienced. 



The monthly car report issued last 

 week showed a surplus of only 10,000 

 cars as of August 10. It is only one- 

 third the surplus at the same date in 

 1907, when the following winter 

 brought the record shortage. The 

 Railway Age-Gazette, a railroad pub- 

 lication, analyzing the car situation, 

 has issued the following warning: 



"The figures indicate clearly that 

 unless there is some unexpected and 

 radical change in commercial, indus- 

 trial and transportation conditions, the 

 railways and the shipping public will 

 have to deal this fall and winter with 

 one of the worst shortages of freight 

 cars in the history of the United 

 States." 



PIPING A FRAME. 



I have a coldframe which I wish to 

 heat, so as to use it for bulbs, spring 

 plants, etc. It is 6x38 feet, thirty-six 

 inches high at the back and twenty 

 inches high in front. How many 1%- 

 inch or 1^-inch pipes will be required 

 to heat it to 45 or 50 degrees in tho 

 coldest weather, with hot water? How 

 should the pipes be arranged? The 

 piping is to he connected with the 

 greenhouse boiler, which is six feet be- 

 low the level of the ground where the 

 frame stands. The frame will be cov- 

 ered with hotbed ssushes and the sides 

 will be covered with tar paper. 



F. E. S. — R. I. 



The simplest method of heating the 

 •oldframe would be to use 2-inch pipe. I 

 Run one line along the back, starting ]

 Gentlemen:— 



Now that the firing season is over, and after a long cold winter, the 

 coldest night being 6* below zero, I want to say I am well pleased with 

 the No. 46 Water Tuba Steam Boiler and the No. 14 Hot Water Boiler. 

 They are doing all you claim for them and more. The No. 14 Hot Wat«r 

 Boiler is heating that large house to 60" with the greatest ease in zero 

 weather without the help of the steam boiler. 



This staam boiler I tblnk Is a ^i^ondar, a auick steamer, and 

 holds the steam, the easiest boiler in the world to clean and to keep 

 clean. The double steam trap system is working fine, keeping all the 

 steam lines well drained. 



The boiler tube hot water system is the winner, the rapid circulation 

 and even temperature obtained from this system is wonderful. 



After being told repeatedly by other growers that roses could not be 

 grown with hot water heat, we are getting the best kind of results not 

 only from the heating systems and boilers, but also from the roses. 



Yours very truly, 



(Signed) W. J. PILCHER. 



Dubuque, Iowa, Mot. 28, 1915. 



Gentlemen:— 



I wish to report that I have used my No. 45 Kroeschell Water 

 Tube Steam Boiler for the past two seasons, and will say 1 could not 

 compare it with my former boiler, as it is so far superior in every way 

 that there is no comparison whatever. 



It does the work of two tubular steam boilers— saves fuel, needs less 

 attention, as the fire lasts much longer— is easily cleaned, there being no 

 flues to clean every night, as was the case with the old boilers. 



If I should need another boiler, I would not think of buying any other 



^^^d- Yours very truly,

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. 



1S,468,8S0 so. ft. 

 of glass was eauippea 

 with the Krseschell 

 fioiler during the past 

 five years. 



The Kroeschell 



is used by hundreds 

 of Florists' Review 

 readers and mighty is 

 their praise. The year 

 of 1915 brought an 

 enormous number of 

 new customers who 

 saw our boilers in 

 operation at other 

 places. We attribute 

 the large sales of this 

 season to the good 

 work the KroeschsU 

 Boiler is doing evlSry- 

 where.
