Creenhottse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But jjlease 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 lauy, 

 and each article fhe be^.in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



WITH LEAN-TO EXTENSIONS. 



Please inform me as to the heating 

 of two greenhouses with low-pressure 

 steam. I have 2,700 feet of 2-inch pipe 

 on hand and will purchase the needed 

 1^-inch pipe. I have an upright boiler, 

 three feet in. diameter and seven feet 

 high. It contains seventy 2-inch flues, 

 thirty-two inches long, and the grate is 

 thirty-two inches in diameter. What is 

 the capacity of the boiler, and will it 

 heat more than the two greenhouses, as 

 shown in the enclosed sketch? The 

 boiler is on a level with the greenhouse 

 floors. What size of trap will be 

 needed to carry the condensed steam 

 back to the boiler? Will one trap do 

 the work, without a pump? The green- 

 houses are somewhat protected by build- 

 ings and trees on the west, north and 

 south. 



As the sketch shows, the two houses 

 r\in east and west, with the boiler shed 

 at the west end. The main part of each 

 house is 21x7.'5, but the houses are ex- 

 tended westward in the form of a lean- 

 to, about 5x10, on each side of the 

 boiler shed, thus enclosing the shed on 

 three sides. The total length of the 

 houses, therefore, is eighty-five feet. 

 The side walls are five feet high. The 

 south wall contains two feet of glass, 

 but the north wall is boarded up to the 

 eaves. K. F. C. — Mo. 



The boiler is evidently of about ten 

 horsepower, and if li/i-inch returns are 

 used, would probably heat a third house 

 of the size of the present ones, but if 

 the 2-inch pipe is to be used for returns 

 we would not care to add to the radia- 

 tion required for the two houses shown

Probably .vou have wonderad why the Kroeschell Greenhouse Boiler is not sold 

 by any of the greenhouse construction companies. In justice to all concerned, 

 we feel it is our duty to slate that the Kroeschell Boiler is never sold by anjone 

 but THE KROESCHELL BROS. CO. We have no agents, and. as our prices are 

 based on sales direct from factory to user, we do not quote anyone dealing in 

 boilers special resale prices. Our stand in this matter has brought out a lot of 

 competition: nevertheless, the great efficiency of the Kroeschell Greenhouse 

 Boiler cannot be disputed, and in spite of the keen competition the Kroeschell 

 Greenhouse Boiler is heating more glass than any other make.
