TO THE FACT 



You Will Save

by installing The Martin Rockingr Grate. Costs a little more 



than ordinary grates, but the coal burns— it doesn't go into the 



ashpit. 



We refer to Peter Reinberg, Emll Buettner, Bassett & Washburn, Wletor Bros.. 

 Artam Zender, Sinner Bros., Albert lUckinson Seed Co.. and many others. 

 They will tell you to order the Martin Rookinflr Grate for the new boilers 

 to be put in this seahon. Write for catalogue and prices.

Greenhouse Heating. 



SUBSCR3ERS 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. 



The market for mine run of the smoke- 

 less coals continues "a little soft," as 

 the coal men say. By that they mean 

 that neither spot coal nor contract de- 

 liveries command the premium they were 

 able to get earlier in the season. The 

 (lircular price is $1.40 per ton, 15 cents 

 above last year, and about what the coal 

 is bringing, although now and then a 

 sale at $1.50 is reported. 



A WEST VIEaiNIA RANGE 



As I am about to build a rose house, 

 I should like to get some idea as to the 

 heating of it. I have a range of four 

 houses, all 30x110 feet, except the vio- 

 let house. The range was formerly 

 heated by hot water, using bottom heat 

 entirely. One house was planted with 

 roses, which did not seem to do well. 

 I have now changed the whole heating 

 arrangement to steam and I intend ttf 

 have some overhead heat in my new 

 rose house. I want to know how many 

 2inch pipes will be needed overhead in 

 a house 30x110, and how many returns 

 underneath. Any other information on 

 the subiect will be appreciated.
