Greenhouse Heating. 



SuBSCElBEES 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 Review to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



BAISINQ THE FLOW PIPES. 



I wish you would advise me regard- 

 ing a change which I erpect to make in 

 my heating system. I have five green- 

 houses, each 18x40. These are heated 

 with 4-inch cast-iron pipes, all under the 

 benches. I wish to change to an over- 

 head flow pipe. What size of pipe should 

 I use to feed three 4-inch returns, in 

 this Kansas climate! There are two 

 sets of these returns in each house. 

 What is the best way to arrange these 

 flow pipes f Carnations and general 

 bedding stock are grown. W. P. R. 



A 2%-inch overhead flow pipe will be 

 sufficiently large to supply three 4-inch 

 returns. Except perhaps in the coldest 

 weather, a temperature sufficient for 

 carnations can be obtained in a house 

 18x40 feet by using two 2%-inch over- 

 head flow pipes and four 4-inch returns. 

 It will therefore be worth while to 

 place a valve upon one of the returns in 

 each coil. 



It will probably answer if one of the 

 flow pipes is carried upon each of the 

 wall plates, although unless the returns

 are placed about two feet below the 

 ridge. Run them with a slight fall, and 

 connect the expansion tank at the high- 

 est point. 



THE FUEL MARKET. 



"The coal operators, for almost a 

 month now, have shown a disposition to 

 discount the coming and promised car 

 shortage and coal shortage," says the 

 Black Diamond, "not only by pushing 

 the sale of coal in summer but lately by 

 an advance in prices. The retail deal- 

 ers, however, are not buying any large 

 amount of coal at the advanced figures, 

 and from reports coming from the vari- 

 ous markets this week it seems that 

 there is genuine and widespread rebel- 

 lion against some of the prices that have 

 been asked so far. 



"Lapt year New England had a 

 pretty bad scare with the coal situation 



COAL! 



HARD COAL! 



For the month of August I will give 

 special low prices on Hard Coal. 

 Price goes up September 1 with all 

 coal companies. If you want to get in 

 on the low price, write me at once.

and does not care to duplicate it thi!' 

 year. As a consequence New England 

 is buying coal now and putting it away. 

 But New England doesn't care to pay 

 in summer premium prices on coal 

 merely to get it to avoid a possible 

 shortage, so while New England is put- 

 ting some coal down, it does not do so 

 unless the price is right. 



"Chicago shows no disposition what 

 ever to pay fancy prices on anything 

 but smokeless coal, but Chicago must 

 have smokeless coal. The belief in the 

 coming shortage of smokeless coal still 

 is strong. Retail dealers want that coal 

 because they must have it to satisfy 

 certain specific demands. The oper-
