The Florists' Review 



NOVBMBKB 14, 1918. 



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. 



KENTUCKY FLORISTS GET FUEL. 



W. B. Bryan, Federal Fuel Adminis- 

 trator for Kentucky, has given the flo- 

 rists of that state blanket permission 

 to burn all tlie bituminous mine-run 

 coal or bituminous screenings they need 

 without having them apply on their 

 quota of fifty per cent under the fuel 

 restriction order. The action was taken 

 as the result of a request by O. S. Ilon- 

 aker, of Lexington, to whom the Fuel 

 Administrator wrote as follows: 



"Confirming telephone conversation, 

 your attention is directed to the follow- 

 ing order issued by the United States 

 Fuel Administration: 



Until further notice state fuel administrators 

 may permit florists to receive and bum bitumi- 

 nous coal, steam anthracite or coke breeze with- 

 out having such fuel apply on their fifty per cent 

 (juota, as defined by Fuel Administration curtail- 

 ment order of April 24, 1918, whenever there is 

 a surplus of such fuel which in the opinion of 

 the state administrator can be spared for such 

 purpose. 



"Pursuant to the authority granted 

 by the above order, the florists of Ken- 

 tucky are authorized, until further no- 

 tice, to burn bituminous screenings, bi- 

 tuminous mine-run or coke breeze with- 

 out having such fuel apply on their fifty 

 per cent quota. 



"It is suggested that you give pub- 

 licity to this order among the members 

 of your association and florists gener- 

 ally." 



FUEL CONSERVATION. 



7,000,000 Tons of Coal Saved. 



Through the cooperation of the in- 

 dustrial power plants, which have thus 

 far put into force the standard recom- 

 mendations of the United States Fuel 

 Administration to promote efficiency in 

 the use of fuel in power plants, a sav- 

 ing of 7,000,000 tons annually has been 

 effected. That is to say, in the first 

 six months from the announcement of 

 the national program 3,500,000 tons 

 have been conserved, at the same time 

 maintaining maximum production in the 

 factories. The largest savings have been 

 in the following states: Massachusetts, 

 Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, 

 New York, Missouri, Michigan, Minne- 

 sota and Wisconsin. 



Some industrial plants, which have 

 adopted the standard recommendations 

 and kept systematic records, report a 

 fuel saving' as high as twenty -five per 

 cent, and the average is estimated be- 

 tween ten per cent and fifteen per cent. 

 This large economy is effected at prac- 

 tically no expense to the plant owner, 

 since the recommendations treat primar- 

 ily of proper methods of firing and man- 

 agement in power plants. 



One manufacturing plant in Abbe- 

 ville, S. C, writes the Fuel Administra- 

 tion that as a result of the installation 

 of the improvements and records recom- 

 mended, "we show for the first eight 

 months of this year a fuel saving of

Neither in the East or West, nor the North or South has any other 

 make of boiler ever equaled the performance of the Kroeschell— 

 installed for 3,974,60S square feet of glass in 1916-1917. Every 

 customer immensely satisfied. The high efficiency and low cost of 

 operation make the Kroeschell the best of all boilers for Florists' use. 



KROESCHELL ROILERS have satis- 

 factorily and permanently solved the 

 eflfective burning of screenings. They 

 will burn the worst grades of ci.al. even 

 the dirtiest culm or sawdust and wood 

 refuse. 



Greenhouse owners like the KROES- 

 CHELL because of its extreme simplic- 

 ity and freedom from trouble. As a fuel 

 saver, it pays its own way. The KROES- 

 CHELL will increase your heating plant 

 efficiency 20 to 40%. 



The KROE.SCHELL has proven its worth in many of the large establish- 

 ments in this country. It has frequently been selected by the most care- 

 ful buyers in competition with all other types of boilers. Its efficiency 

 and capacity are completely beyond any other boiler.
