Greenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers 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 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 buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



STORE COAL, INSULL URGES. 



Consumers of fuel continue to be 

 warned that unless large quantities of 

 coal are purchased and stored during 

 the summer months there will be a 

 shortage when the demand becomes 

 greater in the fall, the prediction be- 

 ing that lack of maximum production 

 during the next two months will make 

 it impossible to produce the coal need- 

 ed to supply the demand later. 



Following a meeting with a number 

 of Illinois coal mine operators July 14, 

 Samuel InsuU, of Chicago, chairman of 

 the Illinois Council of Defense, a body 

 of business men appointed by Governor 

 Lowden to act in conjunction with the 

 National Council of Defense, issued a 

 warning to coal consumers that there is 

 liable to be a famine this fall unless the 

 Illinois mines are kept Operating at 

 capacity. He urged consumers to buy 

 and store coal now.

WESTERN COAL FREIGHT RAISED. 



Tlie Interstate Commerce Commission, 

 which allowed the eastern railroads to 

 increase rates on coal 15 cents per ton 

 July 1, entered an order July 10 allow- 

 ing a similar increase by the railroads 

 in the western district to take effect 

 July 15. 



This action means that florists west 

 of the Mississippi river will be required 

 to pay an additional 15 cents per ton 

 for coal shipped after July 15. 



THE PRICE OF COAL. 



Gov. Goodrich, of Indiana, this week 

 showed the Interstate Commerce Com- 

 mittee of the Senate that the price of 

 coal at the mine recently agreed on by 

 the coal operators and the Peabody com- 

 mittee of the Council of National De- 

 fense is nearly 100 per cent too high. 



The Indiana governor practically put 

 it up to Congress to enact laws fixing 

 the price of coal or to give some com- 

 mission that authority, saying that if 

 Congress did not do so he would call a 

 special session of the Indiana legisla- 

 ture to regulate coal prices -i« his state. 



After scoring the price as agreed on 

 by the operators and the Peabody com- 

 mittee, Gov. Goodrich read letters into 

 the record from various Indiana manu- 

 facturers showing that the Peabody 

 agreement had caused coal prices to go 

 up instead of down in Indiana. 



Tlie same condition exists elsewhere. 

 While consumers are being urged to buy

One of the biggest items of expense iji the greenhouse business is the 

 heating question. Why then for fancy's sake do you sit silently by and 

 watch the unnecessary losses of fuel go on day by day ? 



IT IS YOUR MONEY THAT IS LOST-THE WASTE 

 HARMS EVERYONE. STOP ! STOP ! ! STOP ! ! ! 



Many practical growers have solved this vital question. YOU CAN 

 DO SO TOO. The remedy is simple. GET A KROESCHELL-the boiler 

 of unequaled fuel economy— it will pay you well. 



Kroeschell Greenhouse Boilers are credited with many remarkable 

 greenhouse heating records. Time and again they have proven to be the 

 quickest water heaters and steam generators in the world. Any kind of 

 fuel will do the work. They are acknowledged the best by test since 1879.

A Record for the Winter of 1916-1917 



Mr. Wendel is surely nleased with his No. 14 Kroeschell Boiler— it is a 

 PEACH, that is all there is to it. We surely had some winter, which we all 

 know. 



Our houses have never been below 62*^, and it was not necessary to force 

 our boiler. Best of all, we saved two carloads of coal over a year ago.

No Heat Lost With the Kroeschell 



The two No. 46 Kroeschell Water Tube Steam Boilers which you furnished 

 for our new plant surely are (riving us satisfactory service. These boilers are 

 internally fired, and ECONOMICAL fuel burners, being very fast steamers. 

 With baffle arrangement such as you have, it consumes all the heat cast from 

 the combustion chamber instead of letting it out of stack.

Entire Plant Now Heated by Kroeschell's Famous Boilers 



We have just placed No. 14 Boiler purchased of you. This takes the place 

 of two cast iron boilers and one 60 H. P. tubular boiler. As we were the first 

 to install one of your boilers on Long Island, it might interest you to know that 

 we want no other kind on our place. This makes three we have, and they do 

 their work economically and are on the job all the time. You may use "this 

 letter in any way you wish,

Kroeschell Uses Only One-half the Coal 



Have taken out return tubular boiler which used one-half more coal than 

 the Kroeschell Boiler— it is so easy to regulate that in a few minutes I can 

 run up the temperature by opening drafts.
