The Florists' Review 



July- 31, 1913. 



above the boiler the present arrange- 

 ment should give good results, but if it 

 fails to do so a mercury generator 

 should be put in. 



The simplest way to heat the hotbed 

 will be to take oflf a l^/^-inch flow pipe 

 from the end of the 3-inoh main and 

 with this supply two l^ii-inch returns. 

 The main return from the houses should 

 have been 3-inch, the same as the flow, 

 and if a 2-inch was used it will be bet- 

 ter to connect the return from the hot- 

 bed at the boiler or as near it as pos- 

 sible. 



STEAM FOB ONE BOSE HOUSE. 



I should like to know how many feet 

 of 1%-inch pipe will be required to heat 

 a rose house, 20x100, with steam. The 

 house is eleven and one-half feet high 

 to the ridge and has two glass gables. 

 The side walls are five and one-half feet 

 high and the south wall contains two 

 and one-half feet of glass. I intend to 

 feed half of the coils at each end, to 

 keep an even temperature. What size 

 of flow will be required? Will it be 

 better to have the pipes under the 

 benches, for roses, or on the walls? The 

 lowest outside temperature in this part 

 of Minnesota is 35 to 40 degrees below 

 zero. C. B. 



With outside temperatures but little 

 if any below zero, a rose house can be 

 heated by one square foot of steam 

 radiation for six square feet of glass, 

 but under the severe conditions men- 

 tioned it will be safer to use one square 

 foot of radiating surface to four square 

 feet of glass. If a 2 1^ -inch feed pipe 

 is carried about three feet below the 

 ridge to the farther end of the house, it 

 will be possible to secure an even tem- 

 perature without going to the trouble 

 of connecting one-half of the pipes at 

 one end of the house and the other half 

 at the other end. 



In addition to the main, about four- 

 teen 114-inch pipes will be required to 

 maintain a temperature of 60 degrees 

 when the outside temperature is 35 to 

 40 degrees below zero. About three of 

 the returns should be on each of the 

 walls and the others can be distributed 

 under the benches. 



SPBINOFIELD, O. 



A Dissolution of Partnership. 



As the plant of the Femcliflf Floral 

 Co., opposite the lower entrance to Fern- 

 cliff cemetery, has been taken over by 

 the city for park purposes under con- 

 demnation proceedings, the two mem- 

 bers of this partnership, Messrs. Beth- 

 ard and Finfrock, will engage in busi- 

 ness separately for the future. 



C. Pearl Bethard will conduct a gen- 

 eral florists' business in the houses on 

 West Mulberry street which he pur- 

 chased from Charles W. Unglaub some 

 time ago. Mr. Bethard conducts a regu- 

 lar stand in the city market house. 



A. S. Finfrock has wisely secured 

 four city lots, each approximately 40x 

 240, on McCreight avenue, immediately 

 adjoining the northeast corner of Fern- 

 cliff cemetery — land which might well 

 have been secured by the cemetery 

 to square out its area to Plum street, 

 which it reaches along its lower portion. 

 Two greenhouses, each 26x100, are in 

 course of construction, together with a 

 conservatory 15x17, attached to a shed 

 of two stories and basement, which will 

 serve on its several floors as boiler eel- 



FLORISTS WHO KNOW ALL THE 0000 POINTS OF 



THE KROESCHELL BOILER NEVER FOR A 



MOMENT CONSIOER ANY OTHER KIND 



The Kroeschell 



is making the most 

 wonderful grtenhouce 

 heaiinff record in the 

 world. Florists who 

 have used other makes 

 are constantly givlDtr 

 the Kroeschell the 

 highest praise. 



10,788.000 sq.ft. of 

 glass was equipped 

 with the Kroeschell 

 Boiler during the past 

 five years. 



The Kroeschell 



has replaced hundreds 

 of cast iroa boilers. In 

 every case higher tem- 

 peratures are secured 

 with the Kroeschell 

 with the same piping 

 and with less fuel. 



The Kroeschell is sold 

 direct from factory to 

 users. This eliminates 

 the unneces»ary mid- 

 dleman's profit. 



Tiia KROESCHELL Is of the HlghMt Standard 



MATE RIAL— Governed by Kroeschell specifications— the best that money and 



brains can produce. 

 WORKMANSHIP— The kind that is an inspiration to all other boiler makers. 

 BOILCR.CFFICIENCY— Determined by actual tests under working conditions. 

 BOILER RATINttS— Honest and true blue— guaranteed actual working capacities. 



You will never be disappointed with a KROESCHELL Boiler.

Kroeschell Replaces 4 Cast Iron Boilers 



Previous to 190<>. Mr. Schultz, of Menominee. Mich., heated his entire plant with cast iron 

 boilers. It had been claimed that cast iron boilers are superior to the Kroeschell. Mr. Schults 

 is now heating 18.000 sq. ft. of glacs with the Kroeschell which was inttalled in 1909. and they 

 are required to fire same only twice a night. The foMoHiog letter speaks for itself: 



"We do not have the \etuit trouble to maintain about 60 degrees in the coldest 

 weather. Your KroeHrhell Boiler is the best I ever bad. Before I heard about your boiler 

 I had four cast iron Itoilers, and I would not part with the Kroeschell for a hundred 

 cast Iron boilers now." (Signed) CHARLES 8CHCLTZ. 



July 31, 19I3, Menominee, MIrh. 



Kroeschell Replaces 2 Cast Iron Boilers 



The Marjsville Floral Co., of Marysville. O.. installed a No. 4 Kroe- 

 schell Boiler in VMS. Previous to this time they used cast iron boilers. 

 The following letter speaks for itself: 



"Has the KroescheU given entire satlsfaetlon? YES! We had 

 two east iron boilers, but yours proved by far the best. Your boiler 

 bas already outlasted the two cast iron boilers by live years, and 

 all the expense that we have been put to was a smoke dome."

Kroeschell Replaces Cast Iron 



The range of C. Peterson i\; Son. at Escanaba, Mich., was formerly heated by cast iron 



boilers. Last season this firm install- d their first Kroeschell, a No. 6. which is now heating 



13.000 to H.OOO sq. ft. of glass. They state that they fire these boilers three to four times dur. 



ing the night in zero weather. I nder date of June 28, 1913, they write as follows: 



"The Kroeschell Boiler has Riven better satlsfa^'tion than any other boiler we have 

 ever had. For years we have Hred manv different boilers, and really never could get 

 one that we might say was entirely Natisfactorv — there was always something wrong — 

 but now since we have tried the Kroes<hell, we have solved our boiler proposition. We 



have a ( ) cast Iron sectional boiler here, only used two years, and we wish we 



could get rid of It and put In another Kroeschell in its place." 



Escanaba, Mich., June 28, 1913. (Signed) C. PETERSON ft SON.
