Greenhouse Heating. 



- « 



Subscribers are invited to write tlie 

 Fjditor 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 FUEL MABKET. 



The big and the important feature 

 of this week 's market is the steady 

 extension of the steam coal trade and 

 the gradual rise in price, says the Black 

 Diamond. It is not to be understood 

 that there is any boom, but there is a 

 constant growth. In Chicago the market 

 for No. 3 vein of smokeless coal, the 

 favorite greenhouse fuel, has been fairly 

 strong. The major producers have been 

 holding firmly to circular price, but now 

 and then some of the smaller producers 

 have had a surplus on hand up to de- 

 murrage and have sold it off circular. 

 The list price, f . o. b. mines, is $1.25 to 

 $1.40 for mine run. For Illinois coal, 

 the larger Franklin county producers 

 are holding for $1.15 to $1.25 for mine 

 run, but the smaller people cut this to 

 $1 if needs be. Indiana coals are worth 

 $1.10 at the mine. 



LABOEB PIPE IS PBEFEBABLE. 



I am a grower of vegetable and 

 flowering plants and am located in the 

 eastern part of New York state. If 

 business continues to increase, I intend 

 to enlarge my greenhouses and I am 

 herewith sending you a sketch of the 

 house that I intend to build. The house 

 will be three-quarter-span, and will be 

 five feet high at the north side and 

 three feet high at the south, or front 

 side. The outside walls will be con- 

 crete and the east end will be protected 

 by the boiler room and potting shed. 

 There will be a raised bench at the 

 north side, a. solid bed in the middfe 

 and another solid bed at the south wall. 

 Please tell me how to pipe this house 



WHY TAKE A CHANCE? 



You can't know (at best you only think you 

 know) what the temperature is in your green- 

 houses, nights and during your absences, unless 

 you have 



THE 8TANDAIID 



RECORDING 



THERMOMETER 



Preseit price, $20.00; formerly $28.00 



It has made thousands of dollars for many flor- 

 ists and may do as much for you. Your plants 

 must have certain, steady temperature to do their 

 best. Use this thermometer and you will know 

 whether they are getting what they need. It 

 leaves a written record under lock and key.
