Mention The Review when you write. 



One of the most successful growers 

 uses houses running east and west. The 

 main walks run lengthwise of the 

 houses, with the beds level with the sur- 

 face and six or eight feet wide. The 

 rows of plants run across the beds and 

 are either three or six feet apart. The 

 greater distance gives practically the 

 same returns, with more opportunity 

 for a catch crop. 



The seeds are sown in pots and trans- 

 planted to the beds when ready to run. 

 This gives a much more even stand, as 

 the percentage of vegetation is much 

 greater than when the seed is sown in 

 the beds, which is quite an object with 

 high-priced seed. Two or three months 

 after the first batch of seed is sown 

 another sowing is made, and when the 

 rows are six feet apart these can be 

 set out in the beds, halfway between, 

 and will conio on to give a succession 

 when the first sowing is ready to come 

 out.

We are putting in a hot water sys- 

 tem of heating and have been reading 

 all the questions and answers on the 

 subject in The Review, but none of 

 them seems to fit our case. So we are 

 enclosing a diagram of our houses and 

 should like to know what size of pipe 

 to use. Is there danger of having the 

 pipe too large? Please state, also, how 

 many flows and returns, or coils of pipe, 

 should be used in each house. R. M. 



The average grower believes that ex- 

 perience has shown that for houses more 

 than fifty feet in length it is advisable 

 to use 2-inch pipe for the returns in 

 a hot water system, and either 2 1/^ -inch 

 or 3-inch for the flow pipes. The use 



THE BOILER WITH A PURPOSE 



TO HEAT A 

 GREENHOUSE 



*t 



Superior to them all " 

 is the verdict of all who 

 use the SUPERIOR 

 STANDARD. 



MADE IN 9 SIZES 



The SUPERIOR STANDARD is designed specially for greenhouse 

 work after a close study of what was needed. It is easily cleaned, al- 

 though it has more flues than any other boiler, but— more flues give more 

 heat; more flues require less fuel; the water heats quicker and hotter, 

 because the volume of water heated by each flue is smaller. 



All we ask is a chance to show you.
