Creenhonse Heating. 



SuBSCKiBKBS 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 Beview 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. 



LABGEB FLOWS DESIRABLE. 



I am herewith sending a sketch of 

 a greenhouse which I am building. The 

 house runs north and south and is 

 16x50. It is eight feet high to the 

 eaves. Adjoining it at the south end- 

 are the potting shed and boiler pit. I 

 have ordered a boiler with a rating of 

 900 feet of radiation, though I was 

 told that a rating of 700 would be suf- 

 ficient. I have also ordered 700 feet 

 of 2-inch pipe. I am planning to place 

 two 2-inch overhead flow pipes in the 

 center and five return pipes under each 

 bench. I wish to maintain a tempera- 

 ture of 55 degrees when the outside 

 temperature is 10 degrees below zero. 

 Should there be a globe valve at the 

 ■ end of each of the pipes, as they start 

 back under the benches, for the pur- 

 pose of shutting oflf the heat, or will 

 three 2-inch valves on each side be 

 sufiicientt There will be ten ventila- 

 tors, each 24x24, in the roof, three on 

 the west side and seven on the east 

 side, spaced evenly and hinged at the 

 top. The glass is 12x20. 



E. E. S.— O. 



From the sketch it would appear 

 that there arc five feet of concrete in 

 each wall, but we are not informed 

 whether the remainder is glass or wood. 

 If of glass, one more return will be 

 required on each side than if the wall 

 above the concrete is of wood. The 

 sketch also shows a solid bed in the 

 middle of the house and a raised bench 

 on each side. From this we infer that 

 there are two 2-ineh overhead flow 

 pipes and ten 2-inch returns in the 

 house. 



The radiation furnished would be

Probably you have wondered 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 state that the Kroeschell Boiler is never sold by anyone 

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 based on sales direct from factory to user, we do not quote anyone dealing in 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