dreenhonse Heating. 



Subscribers 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 Eeview 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 COAL MABK£T. 



The most disturbing factor in the 

 present coal market is the future out- 

 look. Such a stjttement would fre- 

 quently be true with regacd to any line 

 of business — so comnidnly' true as to be 

 almost commonplace, but it is espe- 

 cially applicable to the coal trade now, 

 on account of the changes in freight 

 rates which were recently decreed by 

 the Interstate Commerce Commission, 

 and which go into effect October 1. 

 Although the new rates have reference 

 only to anthracite coal, of course they 

 have more or less influence on the 

 movement of other kinds of fuel. East 

 o' Buffalo and Pittsburgh the freights 

 are lowered; th« average reduction is 

 between 15 cents and 25 cents per ton. 

 The lake rates remain unchanged, but 

 there is an increase of 25 cents per 

 ton in the rates **to Chicago and 

 points beyond." 



In the middle west the immediate 

 effect of the announcement of these 

 freight changes was to stimulate busi- 

 ness. "The dealers," says a leading 

 coal journal, "naturally wanted to buy 

 now to get coal before the advance 

 went into effect; the operators wanted 

 to sell coal now, rather than risk the 

 uncertainties of the market after the 

 rise should take effect. The buyers and 

 the operators were, therefore, both 

 eager to do business, and as a matter 

 of fact some more business was done. 

 It is expected that in the next month 

 a considerable volume of additional 

 business will be done, largely on this 

 account." 



In addition to the uncertainties men- 

 tioned, the Chicago dealers in smoke- 

 less coal have had their own peculiar 

 perplexities, due to disputes among 

 themselves in regard to prices. These 

 disagreements ^have had a tendency to 

 cause prices to break, but in most cases 

 the regular figures have been main- 

 tained. Lump and egg are undisturbed 

 at circular price of $2.25 and mine- 

 run is $1.25 to $1.40. 



TOLEDO, O. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was more fa- 

 vorable. The sun shone for about half 

 the week and gave florists a chance to 

 attend to the long delayed outdoor 

 work. The sun brought on heavier 

 crops, but the demand, though light,

"Regarding the Eroescbell, it is the best we have ever had and satis- 

 factory beyond our expectations. It heats ap especially quick and has saved 

 us considerable already in the price of fuel. When we are in need of another 

 boiler, we will give the Kroeschell the first consideration."

The KROESCHELL has replaced hundreds of cast iron boilers. 

 In every case higher temperatures are secured with the KROE- 

 SCHELL with the same piping and with less fuel. 



The KROESCHELL is making the most wonderful greenhouse 

 heating record in the world. Our boilers were installed to heat 

 2,304,450 sq. ft. glass in 1914. Florists who have used other 

 makes are constantly giving the KROESCHELL the highest praise.
