STEAM FOB SOUTHERN BANQE. 



Enclosed you will find a sketch of 

 a range of four greenhouses which I 

 wish to heat with stean;. The outside 

 temperature in this part of Alabama 

 never drops much lower than 15 de- 

 grees above zero. I wish to maintain 

 a greenhouse temperature of 60 de- 

 grees and shall grow a general 'assort- 

 ment of plants, ferns, etc. What size 

 of boiler will be needed? The side 

 walls of the houses are concrete and 

 are five feet high. The height to the 

 ridge is twelve feet. I am thinking 

 of running a 4-inch main flow from 

 the boiler to the houses and then 

 branching the main off to a 2-inch flow 

 in each house. The boiler will be six 

 feet lower than the walks of the 

 houses. T. S. — Ala. 



The sketch shows that the houses are 

 150 feet long and that three of them 

 are each twenty-five feet wide, while 

 the other has a width of thirty feet. 

 Though a smaller boiler might an- 

 swer, we would prefer to get one of 

 twenty-five horsepower. The 4-inch 

 main flow pipe will heat all of the 

 houses, and a 2-inch flow pipe in each 

 of the four houses will be sufficient 

 to feed the returns. In addition to this 

 flow pipe in each house, we would use 

 six 1%-inch returns in each house, ex- 

 cept the one that is thirty feet wide, 

 in which we would advise the use of 

 seven returns. 



IMPEBFEOT OIBCXTLATION. 



We have two greenhouses, one 16x61 

 and the other 16x55, heated by a Wilks 

 boiler. Each of the houses contains 

 one 2-inch flow, which declines toward 

 the far end of the house and there feeds 

 two sets of six 1^-inch returns, which 

 slant toward the boiler. When the 

 boiler is well heated, the flows and 

 part of the returns become hot, but 

 the returns . within twenty-five feet of 

 the boiler hardly get warm, in severe 

 weather. If we place the system under 

 city water pressure, which we can do 

 by opening a valve and placing a safe-

 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. 40 Wat«r Tub* Steam BoUer and the No. 14 Hot Water Boiler. 

 They are doing all you claim for them and more. The No. 14 Hot Water 

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

 weather without the help of the steam boiler. 



Tliia ataam boiler I think Is a wonder, a quick 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.

Gentlemen:— 



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

 Tube Steam Boiler for the past two seasons, and will say I 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 cloned, 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 



kind. Yours very truly, 



(Signed) S. E. MUNTZ. 



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. 



18,408,8X0 so. ft. 

 of glass was eauippea 

 with the Kroeschell 

 Boiler during the past 

 five years. 



The KroescheD 



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 Kroeschell 

 Beiler is doing every- 

 where.
