Fuel Oil Problem. 



As many florists have become more or 

 less interested in the question of fuel 

 oil, and aa it bears somewhat upon the 

 question of greenhouse heating, it may 

 not be amiss to say a few words in re- 

 gard to oil fuel. 



Oil is the most perfect fuel from an 

 engineering standpoint, with the excep- 

 tion of natural ^as, but unfortunately 

 its supply is distinctly limited. 



If oil were suflSciently plentiful and 

 cheap and if a constant supply could be 

 guaranteed as a certainty, it would, of 

 course, be an ideal fuel for greenhouse 

 heating. 



It no doubt will be of interest to 

 many to obtain some data to enable yon 

 to compare the cost of oil fuel with the 

 cost of coal. For a quick calculation of 

 this kind, one may double the price of 

 oil in cents per gallon, and call this dol- 

 lars per ton of coal. In other words, oil 

 at 10 cents per gallon is equivalent to 

 coal at $20 per ton. This method, how- 

 ever, does not include any other cost 

 than the fuel cost, and it does not take 

 into account the labor of handling.
