Dependable Greenhouse Heating 



KROESCHELL WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER 



For steam plants less than lOO horse power. 

 S^f No tubes to clean. No masonry required. 



If you are in a hurry for a boiler 

 telegraph or telephone at our expense 



You can positively rely on Kroeschell Boilers to 

 produce an even and steady supply of heat, insuring 

 the most perfect growing conditions at all times.

have a larger proportion of direct fire surface than 

 any other boiler, and are known as the quickest 

 hot water heaters and the fastest steamers ever 

 designed— easily installed— burn any kind of fuel.

be used for carnations, is 32x106 feet. 

 No. (i is of the same size, but is for 

 sweet peas. To su])ply these liouses, 

 wo would run a 3%-inch flow pipe 

 through house No. 5 to the west end 

 of the range. House No. 4 can be heated 

 with a 2-inch flow and three 1^-inch 

 returns. House No. li should have a 2i/i>- 

 inch overhead flow, or two 2-ineh flows 

 on the plates, and either ten 11,4-ineh 

 or eight 2-inch returns. House No. 6 

 may be pii)ed in the same manner, ex- 

 cept that It should have two more re- 

 turn pipes. 



While we prefer to use 11/4 -inch pipes 

 for the return coils in houses of this 

 lengtli, ll^-inch or even 2-inch pipes 

 may be useil. Although a smaller boiler 

 would answer, we would prefer to use 

 one rated at fifty horsepower. If car- 

 ried on an even grade, so that the water 

 cannot be pocketed, it will make little 

 difference just how the mains arc run.

A HOMEMADE HEATING SYSTEM. 



I have been running a small green- 

 house, 17x70, for the last twenty years. 

 It has been heated by two brick fur- 

 naces, one at each end, connected with 

 10-inch tile lines running the length of 

 the house, under each outside bench. 

 These flues heated the house satisfac- 

 torily for my purpose, the growing of 

 geraniums and other pot plants for 

 spring sales and the starting of early 

 vegetable plants. A few years ago, 

 wishing more room to spread my plants

in the spring, I put up an addition, 

 eight feet wide, the full length of the 

 original house, on the north side, not 

 expecting to need much, if any, arti- 

 ficial heat in the new room. However, 

 to make sure, last winter I built in a 

 coil of 2-inch pipes around one of the 

 brick furnaces and connected the coil 

 with one 1^-inch flow and three 1V4- 

 inch returns in the 8-foot addition, thus 

 installing a homemade hot water system 

 without a boiler. 



This system works well, for the small 

 house, making it nearly or quite as warm 

 as the other. But I notice that for some 

 reason I have diflSculty at times in 

 heating the larger house sufficiently. 

 Do you think that the heating of the
