Subscribers are Invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 anj 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. 



THE COAL SITUATION. 



Fuel still is scarce and high in price 

 in the east, despite the decrease in de- 

 mand brought about by milder weather. 

 Dealers assert that the demand continues 

 to be greater than the supply and are 

 prorating their output among their cus- 

 tomers. 



The coal situation in the east h^s been 

 worse than in other parts of the country, 

 due to freight congestion consequent 

 upon heavy shipments to tlic seaboard 

 and the embargoes placed upon nearly 

 .all kinds of freight by many of the rail- 

 roads. Most of these embargoes, how- 

 ever, have ])een lifted and, unless the 

 recent snowfall is followed by other 

 storms, traffic will be normal before the 

 end of March. 



The expected announcement of a de- 

 crease in the price of coal April 1, which 

 usuallv comes about March 15, has not

 which there is a cellar. There is an 

 open space about ten feet wide between 

 the greenhouses. Each house has four 

 benches, two wide ones in the center 

 and a narrow one at each side. The 

 houses are of iron-frame construction. 

 The height to the ridge is twelve feet. 

 The sides are four feet high, includ-
