Come Out on Top! 



Keep your boiler up on the ground where 

 it is readily accessible for firing and 

 repairs. There's a way to save time and 

 money— trouble and expense — and still 

 obtain the same drainage facilities. 

 That way is to install the 



4ko%ehead 



SYSTEM 



The Morehead System keeps your steam 

 apparatus dry. hot; increases the circula- 

 tion and assures a perfect drainage. It 

 feeds the condensate directly to your 

 boilers, thereby maintaining the con- 

 stant temperature so necessary in the 

 greenhouse. And it's so simple, too— 

 so sure. Ask for the complete facta.

 so that they would not freeze, by using 

 two 2-inch dead air spaces and using 

 two others of the same size filled with 

 mineral wool. But, since the tank is 

 close to the boiler, I would prefer to 

 run a l-mch pipe from the top of the 

 boiler to a point just below the tank 





The Value of a Thermostat 



LET A FLORIST TELL IT 



TJERE is what a greenhouse man said in a letter to The Review: "The 

 ^ ^ value of a thermostat in a greenhouse may possibly interest you. so I take 

 the present opportunity of explaining its advantages. Three weeks ago I in- 

 stalled a Standard thermostat, made by the Standard Thermometer Co., putting 

 it in my rose house, 200 feet from the residence. After sundown each day I set 

 the low contact hand at 57 degrees and the high contact hand at 65 degrees. 

 The black temperature hand, to record 60 degrees, plays between these figures. 

 Should the temperature rise or fall, the alarm bell, just over my bed, rings 

 loudly. I consider this Instrument a boon to any florist with a me- 

 dium-sized range, for it dispenses with the services of a night fireman. With 

 correct firing, I can keep a steady temperature of 60 degrees at night in the 

 rose house and also in four other houses, in all about 5000 feet of glass,"— Thomas 

 E, TowERsoN, Spring Station. Ky.
