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 lor the trade to buy, and 

 each article the best in the special field 

 of its adaptation. 



CABINO FOB THE BOILER. 



While nature and the U. S. Fuel Ad- 

 ministration have been extremely kind 

 to the growers this season, the former 

 by providing unusually mild weather 

 during the month of December, and the 

 latter by removing the restrictions on 

 consumption of coal, firemen should not 

 forget the lessons they learned a year 

 ago when the thermometer registered 

 below zero temperatures and the boss 

 was only two jumps ahead of having 

 his range frozen up because of inability 

 to get coal. 



This season everyone was prepared; 

 that is, all the coal that could be bought 

 and paid for was stored, and the wiser 

 of the growers had their boilers in 

 tiptop shape for the season. However, 

 now that conditions have eased up, 

 there should be no let-down on the part 

 of the firemen. Goal is expensive and 

 no one can afford to do anything but 

 get all he can out of it. 



So far this winter the consumption 

 of coal has been comparatively small 

 and the boilers have not had a chance 

 to accumulate soot and dirt in the flues. 

 Good firemen keep the flues clean by 

 regularly running the brushes through, 

 or using the modern method of "blow- 

 ing them out." The lower grade of 

 coal now being used makes it more than 

 ever necessary to do this work, as the 

 soot accumulations will be heavier and 

 the cleaning required oftener. 



Heating engineers are agreed that a 

 considerable part of the wastage of 

 fuel in the boiler room is due to the 

 fact that the brick settings are not air- 

 tight. They recommend that the brick- 

 work be covered with some one of the 

 preparations now on the market, and 

 emphasize the fact that a tight setting 

 means fuel saving. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was warm, 

 and things were in good shape for the 

 holiday trade. The demand has been 

 so heavy that it has been impossible 

 to get much stock in cold storage 

 against the Christmas rush. There was 

 a heavy cut of both roses and carna- 

 tions here for the holidays, but a short- 

 age of holiday flowers. 



Poinsettias were finer than usual this 

 year, but the quantity was not so large 

 as last year. There were other varie- 

 ties of plants, but by far the largest 

 number of plants for the holiday trade 

 were cyclamens. There never were so 

 many really good cyclamens shown in 

 this city before. 



There was no valley this year to speak 

 of, but the early bulbous stock was in. 

 Paper Whites liave appeared and there 

 was reason to believe there would be a 

 few daffodils in time for Christmas. 



Holly was seen on the streets, but 

 most of it had few berries. In fact,

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 greenhouse 

 boiler businees. 



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

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

 tube steam boiler (tlOO 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.
