Greenhouse Heating 



SiTBSCBiBEBS 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 Beview to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for jou. 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. 



WHAT WILL PRICES DO? 



Price restrictions on bituminous coal 

 may be removed by the Fuel Adminis- 

 tration within two weeks. Fuel Admin- 

 istrator Garfield said November 29 that 

 he hoped to cancel the price regulations 

 not later than the middle of December. 

 Present prices, as fixed by the Fuel Ad- 

 ministration, range from $2.35 to $4.95 

 a ton at the mines. 



Dr. Garfield said it may be possible to 

 abandon the zone system of distribu- 

 tion of bituminous coal by the middle 

 of December, but that action to this end 

 will be taken only after consultation 

 with the Railroad Administration. 



The Fuel Administrator said he could 

 not "take his hands off" the anthracite 

 situation until winter is over. This was 

 t^ken to mean that the government will 

 continue its control over anthracite coal 

 until the end of the coal year, April 1, 

 and that the Fuel Administration will 

 continue to function until that time. 



GAS FOB STEAM SYSTEM. 



In using gas for fuel, would any more 

 gas be needed for steam radiation than 

 for a hot water system! My place is 

 piped for steam and I have been think- 

 ing of using gas for fuel, so as to save 

 labor and prevent the accumulation of 

 soot on the glass. My boiler is a 6-sec- 

 tion cast-iron McLain. R. K. S. — O. 



If the amount of radiation is such 

 that it is not necessary to heat the water 

 above 160 degrees for hot water heating, 

 the hot water will be found considerably 

 more economical than steam, with the 

 water heated to 212 degrees or more. 

 With hot water under pressure, however, 

 there will be no advantage over steam 

 when the water is at or above the boil- 

 ing point. To heat with hot water, it 

 probably will be necessary to make a 

 considerable increase in the amount of 

 radiation, and the fiows and returns 

 should be larger in a hot water than in a 

 steam plant. 



Using gas as fuel will not only be 

 much cleaner, but will result in saving 

 the labor required for firing and the re- 

 moval of ashes when coal is used.

The Market. 



The scarcity of cut stock has been 

 continuous since early in October. The 

 market here is still a stiff one. Mums 

 retailing at from 25 cents to $1 each 

 find quick buyers. Roses at $5 per dozen 

 also move quickly. Carnations are con- 

 spicuous by their absence. In small 

 quantities they bring $1.50 per dozen. 



Funeral work throughout October and 

 November was more than could be 

 handled by the trade. Oak sprays, cro- 

 tons and artificial flowers were used ex- 

 tensively in order to meet the demand.

TO THE MAN WHO NEEDS A BOILER 



THE CUSTOMERS' INTEREST FIRST-Is the basis of the Kroeschell standard, 

 and this principle makes the Kroeschell policy the most liberal of all in the creenhouse 

 boiler business. . . .- 



The great variety of boilers that we make places us in a commanding position. We make 

 every type of boiler that is used, from the smallest house heater to the largest water 

 tube steam boiler (600 horsepower). For the above reason we can furnish the most 

 efficient boiler unit in every case. 



It is the Kroeschell policy to supply only that type of boiler which is best suited to the 

 conditions, and under no circumstances do we take any other stand. 



WHEN YOU BUY-QET A KROESCHELL 

 "THE BOILER OF GENUINE EFFICIENCY" 



KROESCHELL 

 BOILERS have 

 no bulky, soot- 

 accumuiatinssur- 

 f aces — you avoid 

 the disasreeabie 

 work and trouble 

 indisponsabie to 

 cioanina boilers 

 with complieated 

 and tortuous back 

 and forth fire 

 passaaes. 



The superiority 

 of our boilers has 

 resulted in the re- 

 moval and abol- 

 ishment of hun- 

 dreds of cast iron 

 sectional boilers— 

 in every instance 

 KROESCHELL 

 BOILERS aive 

 more heat with 

 the same pipina 

 with less fuel. 



Kroeschell Boilers Save Labor and Coal 



Anderson Floral Companr, Lebanon, Tenn. No. 4 Kroeschell heats entire place 



The boiler arrived all right in first-class condition and has been in place and working 

 fine for over a month. We are very much pleased with this boiler for it is doing what 

 we thought it could not do in the way of saving labor and fuel. 



We have no trouble in heating the houses with this boiler, and we find that it sure 

 will hold heat much longer than the old boiler. 



We are well pleased with the shaking grates as they save time, work, and much coal 



We thank you very much for the care and attention that you gave ourlorder, and we 

 assure you that same was appreciated very much. 



1 Taankin? you agaia, and at the same time wishing you the joys of the season, we are 



Yours very truly, 



[Signed] ANDERSON FLORAL COMPANY, 



J. C. Anderson.
