 is led' to believe that the words, "in 

 houses Nos. 1 and 2," are omitted from 

 the sentence first quoted, since there ap- 

 pears to be no trouble with house No. 3. 

 Both of these houses are 20x80 feet, 

 with glass in the gables, and three feet 

 of concrete-block wall in the ends and 

 in the west wall of the west house. 

 House No. 1 has 6431^ feet of 2-inch 

 returns and seventy feet of 4-inch main. 

 In house No. 2 the return pipes amount 

 to 668% feet of 2-inch pipes. The flow 

 pipes in all of the houses are carried 

 overhead, but the return coils are con- 

 siderably below the top of the boiler.

Steam Is Money- 

 Don' t Waste It! 



All greenhouses use a great deal of steam. It is necessary to suc- 

 cessful growing. But too much heat is wasteful, ^^ 



And uneven heat is dangerous to the health and perfection of ^^ 



your plants, ^s 



It is a simple matter to make thrifty use of every ounce of steam. It ^^ 



is easy to make this steam maintain the exact degree of heat neces- ^^ 



sary to the proper maturing of your plants, ^g 



Fisher Reducing Valve | 



{Type II- A) ^ 



will guard your pipe lines. It will deliver the exact amount of ^~ 



reduced steam you desire in your runs. It will maintain even heat ^= 



throughout your range. It will help keep your last bench as warm ^= 



as your first. ^= .' 



All these things it will do automatically — accurately — without any ^= 



attention on your part. ^= 



The Fisher Reducing Valve is semi-balanced and double-seated* ^^ 



It operates very quickly — is very sensitive — and on account of its ^^ 



construction will not hammer or stick. ^p 



Fisher Reducing Valves have proved their superiority in greenhouses '"^3 



throughout the country. If you have never relied on one to save you ^= 



time and money we urge you to do so now. ^|
