The Florists^ Review 



NOTBMBBB 28, 1918. 



Greenhouse Beating 



STTBSCBnsBS 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 Beview 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 buj, and 

 each article the best in the special field 

 of its adaptation. 



PLENTY OF lUJNOIS COAL. 



Eaymond E. Durham, State Fuel Ad- 

 ministrator for Illinois, has notified 

 the county fuel administrators through- 

 out the state to inform all florists that 

 they may have all the bituminous coal 

 in prepared sizes they want in addition 

 to the fifty per cent allotment allowed 

 under the restriction order of last April. 

 While permission to florists to secure a 

 full quota of coal was given by U. S. 

 Fuel Administrator Garfield several 

 weeks ago, the order made it optional 

 with the state administrators to put it 

 into effect, or withhold it, as local con- 

 ditions warrant. 



The order relating to coal for florists, 

 sent by Administrator Durham to the 

 county administrators, is as follows: 



"Owing to the fact that Illinois is 

 in a more favorable position in relation 

 to its fuel supply than many other 

 states, and that because of the work 

 which you have so ably assisted us in 

 doing this summer in preparing for the 

 exigencies of the winter we are prepared 

 to definitely state that in our opinion 

 there is no danger of any shortage of 

 coal for the domestic consumer in Illi- 

 nois, some restrictions heretofore ex- 

 isting as conservation measures can be 

 lifted. 



"You are therefore authorized to an- 

 nounce that florists are permitted to re- 

 ceive and burn bituminous coal without 

 hi^ving such fuel apply on their fifty 

 per cent quota, as defined by the fuel ad- 

 ministration curtailment order of April 

 24, 1918, whenever there is a surplus 

 of such fuel which in your opinion can 

 be spared for such purpose. If you 

 need assistance in procuring this fuel, 

 please notify our dealers' distribution 

 department. ' ' 



ONE TANK FOR TWO SYSTEMS. 



I wish to get a little advice on a pro- 

 posed change in my heating system. My 

 residence has been heated from the 

 greenhouse boilers, which are about 

 forty feet from the residence. There is 

 a 42-gallon expansion tank in the attic 

 of the residence. The tank is about 

 twenty-two feet above the top of the 

 boilers, which are in a pit. I find that I 

 cannot heat the residence satisfactorily 

 with the present equipment. In severe 

 weather there is not enough boiler ca- 

 pacity. At other times, when little or 

 no heat is needed in the greenhouses, I 

 have to keep large boilers going to heat 

 the residence. 



My plan is to install a separate boiler 

 in the residence and the question that 

 troubles me is this: Would it be advis- 

 able to connect the new boiler to the 

 present expansion line, leading to the 

 attic of the residence, or to put in a 

 separate expansion tank for the resi- 

 dence boiler? Would you leave the pres- 

 ent tank in the attic, where it is twenty- 

 two feet above the boilers, or move it to

Kroeschell Tubeless Boilers 



It will pay you to consider the advantages of KROESCHELL 

 BOILERS for Hot Water or Steam no matter how large or 

 small the size of your establishment. 



The superiority of our boilers has resulted in the removal and 

 abolishment of hundreds of cast iron sectional boilers— in every 

 instance KROESCHELL BOILERS give more heat with the 

 same piping with less fuel. 



KROESCHELLfBOILERS have no bulky, soot-accumulating 

 surfaces— you avoid the disagreeable work and trouble indis- 

 pensable to cleaning boilers with complicated and tortuous back 

 andfforth fire passages.

The high safety factor of KROESCHELL BOILERS eliminates 

 the danger of cracking and break-down risks. 



Successful greenhouse owners everywhere insist upon KROE- 

 SCHELL BOILERS because they are dependable and economical 

 — you get better and longer service— you can reduce your heating 

 costs by burning the cheapest grades of soft coal. 



It is a sign of scientific management to own a KROESCHELL 

 —a business management that insures a responsive, eflScient 

 and profitable heatingTsystem. 



The supremacy of KROESCHELL BOILERS 



is proven by their country-wide adoption.
