IT PAYS 



TO USE— 



EUSTIC FIRE BRICK 



Any Handy Man Can Install It. 



In All Your 

 Boiler Work 



Use it for patching when you cannot afford to cut a boiler out. 

 ELASTIC FIRE BRICK can be used for all fire brick purposes. 



Hocrber Bros., Geo. Wittbold Co.» Miller Bros., C. Hausermann, John Reading and Broadbeck the Florist 

 are using Elastic Lining. These are only a few of the thousands we are selling. 



IT COMES IN BARRELS READY FOR USE. A TRIAL ORDER WILL CONVINCE YOU.

I slioiilil like to get a boiler that will 

 lake care of the two houses. What is 

 the liest make? Also what is the best 

 fuel.' I tried c-oal dust last year, with 

 no success. I still have about twenty 

 tons left and should like to know in 

 wh;it \\;m- 1 can use it. 



I). G. D.— N. .r. 



The tcnijierature desired is not stated 

 and hence we cannot give a definite 

 answer regarding the boiler radiation. 



Jt is stated that one house has six 

 lines of 2-inch pipe on each side and 

 that it contains 4;i2 feet of pipe. We 

 iudge this to be the number of linear 

 feet, for if the pipe ran the full length 

 of the house it would only afford about 

 335 square feet of radiation. This 

 would hardly be sufficient for a tempera- 

 ture of 50 degrees, and it could not be 

 expected to give much more than 40 

 degrees in zero weather without heavy 

 firing, since it is so arranged that five 

 2-inch returns are supplied with one 2- 

 incli flow pipe. For 50 degrees we should 

 use three 2i,j-iiich flows and ten 2-inch 

 returns in throe coils, forty feet long. 



Place one flow on each side wall plate 

 and the other under the ridge, with 

 four returns on the outside wall and 

 three on each of the others. If a tem- 

 perature of 6U degrees is desired, use 

 five or six jdpes on the exposed wall 

 and four in each of the other two coils. 

 With 2VL'-i"ch pipes for the returns, it 

 will suifice if eight pipes are used for 

 50 degrees or ten 2% -inch returns for 

 CO degrees. 



There are several good makes of 

 greenhouse boilers advertised in these 

 columns by manufacturers in your sec- 

 tion. For a temperature of 50 degrees 

 the boiler should have a rating of 1,000 

 square feet, and for 60 degrees the rat 

 ing should be about 1,250 feet. 



The coal dust on hand may be used 

 for banking the fire, and may also be 

 mixed with egg or lump coal at the rate 

 of one to two. 



SEATTLE NOTES. 



[Continued fnini page 107.] 



About the only novelty of the last 

 week was the initial deliveries of 

 heather from California shippers. This 

 arrived in much better shai)e than did 

 the initial shipments of fruit blossoms. 

 Mums are being received from both 

 Spokane and local growers, with the 

 former sending in the best quality of- 

 ferings. 



Various Notes. 



J. P. Schmal, representing the General 

 Bulb Co., of Holland, called on the local 



Only 1-50 Inch 



But that amount of scale inside your boiler means the loss of 100 pounds of 

 coal in every ton burned — and that means less heat in your greenhouses 

 for the coal consumed. 



will clean your boilers and keep them clean. SCALINE is the littlejgiant thai 

 works its way through the porous scale until it reaches the metal surface, 

 then forces the scale away. There is left on the boiler surface a thin film 

 that LETS HEAT THROUGH BUT PREVENTS THE FORMATION OF 

 SCALE.

The actuating element of the Standard Record- 

 ing Therniometer is of lamina metal, which, be- 

 sides being extremely sensitive to temperature 

 chanses. Is practically indestructible. Record 

 charts are furnished either daily nr weekly, and 

 the whole mechanism ii contained in an attractive 

 metal case fitted with lock and key, which insures 

 the record from being tampered with. 



The clock movement is of extremely high grade; 

 everything about the instrument is up to the high-

Buyers' comment that is entirely fa-
