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 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. 



HARD OR SOFT COAL? 



Will you kindly advise me as to 

 which is the more economical coal for 

 me to burn, egg or soft? I have 6,000 

 feet of glass and have two boilers which 

 were intended for hard coal, but since 

 the coal strike a few years ago I have 

 burned soft coal, using forty-five to 

 fifty tons each vear. 



.T. R. P.— X. H. 



Of course the relative economy of us- 

 ing hard or soft coal will depend on the 

 comparative cost of the two kinds of 

 fuel, and also on their analyses. With- 

 out knowing wliat the coal would cost 

 or the fuel value of the two classes re- 

 ferred to, we cannot state positively 

 which would be the cheaper, but a good 

 grade of soft coal will furnish as many 

 thermal units as ordinary hard coal, and 

 for a range of tlie size mentioned we 

 believe tiiat it would be found cheaper 

 in the long run to use soft coal rather 

 than hard, at points where the hard coal 

 is more tliaii fifty ]>er cent higher-priced 

 than soft coal. 



WILL INSTALL A NEW BOILER. 



Will you ])lease have your heating 

 eipcrt advise us regarding tlic boiler 

 and ])ii)ing for our three greenhouses? 

 The largest house, as you will see by the 

 enclosed sketch, is 45x125, seven feet 

 high to the eaves and nineteen feet high 

 to the ridge. South of it is another 

 house, 10x1 3."), with a 4-foot outside 

 wall and witli no j>artitiou between it 

 and the main house. North of the main 

 house, and separated from it by a par- 

 tition, is a ])ropagating house, 10x135.

The KraescheH

 of cast iron boilers. In

 peratures are secured 

 with the Kroeschell 

 with the same piping

KROE SCHELL 

 BOILERS, the best by 

 test since 1879. Forty 

 years' experience — 

 guaranteed design — 

 workmanship and 

 working capacity. 



The Kroeschell 



is making the most 

 wonderful greenhouse 

 heating record in the 

 world. Florists who 

 have used other makes 

 are constantly giving 

 the Kroeschell the 

 highest praise. 



8,016,280 SQ. ft. 

 of glass was eauippea 

 with Kroeschell Boil- 

 ers during the year of 

 1916. 



Hundreds of Florists' Review readers are using the Kroeschell 

 Boiler and mitrhty it> their praise. The year of 1915 brougrht an 

 enormous number of new customers who saw our boiler in opera- 

 tion at other places. We attribute the large sales of this season to 

 the good work the Kroeschell Boiler Is doing everywhere.

The Kroeschell has taken the place of 

 four cast Iron boilers at a big Baving in 

 coal. We are using It now for the fifth 

 year. The longer we use It the better 

 we like It.

 I have used Kroeschell Boilers ever since 

 I built my first greenhouse. Tbey have 

 always given me the very best satlBfaction 

 and I believe them as good boilers as 

 money can buy.

OHIO'S CELEBRATED CYCLAMEN 



SPECIALIST. 

 After nsing your No. 12 Kroeschell 

 Boiler I came to the conclusion that had 

 I to install more boilers it would be the 

 Kroeschell and no other. It really is a 

 pleasure to heat, no trouble to get the 

 desired heat in a very short time.

Regarding the Kroeschell, it is the best 

 we have ever had and satisfactory beyond 

 our expectations. It heats up especially 

 quick and has saved us considerably al- 

 ready in the price of fuel. Whea we are 

 in need of another boiler we will give the 

 Kroeschell the first consideration.

A BIG MAN IN THE FLOBIOTJLTURAL 

 WORLB. 



The Kroeschell Boiler I installed last 

 year usually runs from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. 

 without attention. I do not have the 

 least trouble to keep temperatures in the 

 coldest weather. The boiler has given en- 

 tire satisfaction. 



The Kroeschell is the best boiler we 

 have ever handled.

A FAMOUS ILLINOIS BOSE RANGE. 



In speaking of the Kroeschell Boiler as 

 an economical greenhouse boiler I cannot > 

 say too much. Personally I have bad tin 

 pleasure or misfortune to fire nearly every 

 make of greenhouse boiler on the market and 

 I can safely say the Kroeschell is the 

 best of them all.

THE 



MUSH- 



WORLD'S GREATEST 

 ROOM PLANT. 

 We spent $100,000 in building and 

 equipping the largest modern mushroom 

 plant In the world. We purchased In 

 every instance the best of everything we 

 could get. and the fact that we Installed 

 a Kroeschell Boiler to furnish our heat is 

 suflSclent evidence of our opinion of same. 

 Since installing this boiler and operat- 

 ing it we have never had any reason to 

 change our opinion.

 schell Boiler and Kroeschell Generator. 

 The product of the plant is known 

 throughout the West for its fine quality. 

 Mr. Z. has used different kinds of boilers. 

 As for the Kroeschell, he says: "I think 

 the Kroeschell Boilers are the best boilers 

 a florist can buy."
