Oreenhoase Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 KBj details of greenhouse heating that 

 Site 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 0117, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



tX)lTCBETE MAKES GOOD STACK. 



An<»ther instance of concrete's re- 

 markable fire resistance was shown in 

 connection with the recent fire at Sol 

 Garland's greenhouses at Des Plaines, 

 HI. As it was impossible to get out the 

 local fire fighting apparatus, the frame 

 service building 20x200 and fourteen 

 feet high was entirely destroyed, leav- 

 ing standing only the reinforced con- 

 crete chimney shown in the accompany- 

 ing illustrations. The small building 

 shown in the photograph we have re- 

 produced was buUt around this rein- 

 forced concrete chimney after the 

 fire. One hundred tons of coal were 

 stored immediately north of the chim- 

 ney and this of course made a hot fire, 

 which tested the chimney in an ex- 

 traordinary manner. 



This chimney was built in October, 

 1906, by Mr. Garland. It rests upon a 

 concrete foundation eight feet square 

 and two feet thick. The gravel was se- 

 cured from the Des Plaines river. The 

 chimney base is twenty feet high, seven 

 feet square at the bottom, tapering to 

 three feet square at the top. The walls 

 are twelve inches thick. On top of 

 this square base is the cylindrical por- 

 tion of the chimney, which is forty feet 

 high, with walls eight inches thick at 

 the bottom, tapering to four inches at 

 a point twenty feet from the top of the 

 chimney. The last 20-foot portion has 

 walls four inches thick. 



A careful examination of the chim- 

 ney made after the fire showed that 

 no cracks whatever had been developed 

 by the heat to which it had been sub- 

 jected. This is but another evidence 

 to the progressive florist of the value 

 of concrete in connection with green- 

 house construction. Not only is this 

 material fireproof, but it requires no 

 paint nor repairs and is practically 

 everlasting.

 place near Occidental, where he expects 

 to grow, not flowers, but rhubarb. The 

 San Francisco store will, however, be 

 maintained, for the present at least. 



Alex. Mann, Jr., at 754 Clement 

 street, is getting a nice little business 

 from the residence district that has 

 been built up north of the park since 

 the fire. While his store is pretty well 

 in the midst of this district, Mr. Mann 

 considers his present location rather 

 "out in the country," and says he 

 takes less interest in general trade 

 happe^ngs than he used to.
