Greenhouse 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 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 COAL MABKET. 



A decided incr«ase in the demand 

 for fuel, especially for domestic coal, 

 accompanied by a rise in prices — such 

 is the latest report from the coal deal- 

 ers. Indeed, a Chicago coal man states, 

 perhaps too optimistically, ithat the 

 activity in the market amounts to a 

 veritable boom. "For the first time 

 in about four years," he says, "the 

 Chicago. domestic coal market has been 

 on a genuine boom. Some sales agen- 

 cies said it looked like old times to 

 have orders coming in by telegraph 

 and telephone; to have the mines sold 

 up for some time ahead of production, 

 and to have users of coal urging de- 

 livery. That is the condition in which 

 the Chicago market has been, espe- 

 cially on western coal, for the better 

 part of last week. This is so despite 

 the fact that prices on the average are 

 nearly 15 cents a ton higher for 

 September than they were for August 

 delivery. The question of orders is 

 not what is bothering the sales agen- 

 cies, because thpse are coming of their 

 own accord. The thing that is bother- 

 ing them is the supply of cars to make 

 deliveries," as a large part of the 

 country's railroad equipment is needed 

 at present for the transportation of 

 farm crops. Students of the situation 

 seem to be more confirmed than they 

 were a week ago in the opinion that 

 a serious shortage of cars is imminent. 



With reference particularly to the 

 florists' fuel, smokeless coal, the fol- 

 lowing report is given by the Chicago 

 authority already quoted: "The pro- 

 ducers of smokeless coal put out a 

 circular, September 1, of $1.40 on mine- 

 run, and are holding to it. The de-

IS YOUR HEATING PLANT READY? 



Don't put off this important matter. Need a new Boiler? 

 Well, that's an easy matter to decide, simply put in an order 

 for a Kroeschell — there is no better boiler.

The Kroeschell is Better Than Cast Iron 



In 19U I purchased a No. 1 Kroeschell Boiler for my uptown greenhouses. At 

 my other range we had a cast iron sectional boiler. In two years we cracked two 

 sections. That experience was enough for me. This year I thought I would not 

 take any more chances, so we have just installed another No. 6 Kroeschell Boiler. 

 I believe if the Kroeschell Boilers were known to all, they would use no other.

You Don't Worry "^ith a Kroeschell In Zero Weather 



Have had the pleasure of firing almost every make of greenhouse boiler on'the 

 market, and can say that the Kroesoliell is the best of them all. When the 

 temperature is zero it is not necessary to worry about it when you have a Kroo- 

 schellt but when you have a cast iron boiler, the question is always on your 

 mind, "I better not fire too heavy for fear of a crack."

A Heating: Record at 62" Below Zero 



Has the Kroeacliell given entire satisfaction? Yes! Perfect. Our winter 

 temperature ranges as low as 45° below zero. Last winter we had six weeks of 

 steady cold. The maximum temperature at noon 12"* below, the minimum tem- 

 perature at 4 a. m. 62"^ below zero. , This was a good test of the heating capacity 

 of a KroesclieU. Public Park Board, Winnipeg, Man.
