(ireenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 anj details of greenhoitee 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. 



USING 1-INCH RETURNS. 



We are erecting a greenhouse 18x50, 

 with 4-foot walls and with glass in the 

 south end down to the eaves. The 

 boiler room is at the north end. We 

 expect to heat with hot water and 

 wish to use 1-inch returns. How would 

 you advise us to pipe the house, so as 

 to heat it to 60 degrees when the out- 

 side temperature is 10 degrees below 

 Eerof Will it be satisfactory to use 

 pipe which has been through a fire, but 

 which seems to be in good condition? 



C. F. B.— Wash. 



While pipe which has been through 

 a fire may be used if it does not leak 

 and has not been bent, it would not 

 be advisable to use 1-inch pipe for hot 

 water unless the boiler is six or eight 

 feet below the returns or a generator 

 is installed. To heat a house 18x50 feet 

 to 60 degrees, I would use two 2-inch 

 flow pipes on the plates and one under 

 the ridge, and would connect each of 

 them with five 1-inch returns. I would 

 prefer to use two 2-inch returns in the 

 wall coils and three under the middle 

 bench. 



THE COAL MARKET. 



The newly developed activity in the 

 coal market, reported last week, is 

 continuing this week without any 

 abatement, but also without much in- 

 crease. The mere fact, however, that 

 last week's volume of trade is main- 

 tained, without any sign of sudden re- 

 lapse, is regarded as an excellent rea- 

 son for hopefulness and quiet confi- 

 dence among the coal dealers. The 

 recent rather sudden- increase of or- 

 ders was attributed largely to the pe- 

 riod of cool weather, but the present 

 steady persistence of the demand, re- 

 ^rdless of the weather, seems to prove 

 that the fall trade "has gained its 

 stride." 



The export trade, of course, is now 

 fully recognized to be a prime factor 

 in the situation, for it is said that 

 **the exports of coal in August for 

 the third successive month reached 



WHICH SHALL IT BE? 



CAST IRON BOILERS-FOOL ECONOMY (false ratings, fuel waste, dan- 

 ger of breakdowns by cracking of sections, dealers' commissions on sales)— OR 



KROESCHELL BOILERS-FUEL ECONOMY (honest and "true blue " 

 boiler ratings, safety, quick heat, faotory-to-user prices). 



Kroeschell Replaces 4 Cast Iron Boilers 



Previous to 1909. Mr. Schultz, of Menominee, Mich., heated his entire plant with cast Iron 

 boilers. It had been claimed that cast Iron boilers are superior to the Kroeschell. Mr. Schultz Is 

 now heatinf; 18,000 sq. ft. of kUss with the Kroeschell which was Installed In IM)9, and they are 

 required to fire same only twice a nl^ht. The followlngr letter speaks for Itself: 



"We do not have the least trouble to maintain about 60 decrees in the coldest 

 weather. Yonr Kroeschell Boiler is the best I ever had. Befor* I J||««trd abont 

 your boiler I Iiad four cast Iron boilers, and I wonld not part with the Kroeschell 

 for a hundred cast iron boilers now." (Signed) CUAUL.KS SCUULTZ.

Kroeschell Replaces 2 Cast Iron Boilers 



The Marysvllic Floral Co., of Marysvllle. O., installed a No. 4 Kroeschell 

 Boiler In 190S. Previous to this time they used cast Iron boilers. The follow- 

 ing letter speaks for Itself: 



"Has the Kroeschell given entire satisfaction? Ten! We had 

 two cant iron boilem. bat yours proved by far the best. Your 

 boiler has already outlasted the two cast iron boilers by five years, 

 nud all the expense that we have been put to was a smoke 

 dome." (SiKned) MARYMVILLIS FLUKAL CO.

Kroeschell Replaces Cast Iron Boilers 



The ranire of 0. Peterson & Son, at Escanaba, Mich., was formerly heated by cast Iron boilers. 

 Last season this firm installed their first Kroeschell. a No. 6, which is now heating 13,000 to 14,000 

 sq. ft. of Klass. They state that they fire these boilers three to four times during the night in 

 zero weather. Under date of June 28, 1913, they write as follows: 



"The Kroeschell Boiler has sriven better satisfaction than any other boiler we 

 have ever had. i<'or years we have fired many different boilers, and really never 

 could aret one that ive misht say was entirely satisfactory— there wra* always 

 MometliinK wrone-but now since we have tried the Kroeschell. we have solved 



our boiler proposition. W«> have a ( — ) cast iron sectional boiler here, only 



used two years, and we wish we could Bet rid of it and put in another Kroeschell 

 in its place." (8isne<l) c. PICTISKMON & SON.
