BURELY this cannot be true; wellt we have over 100 growers who have written uSf a largfe majority 

 without request* their opinions ; we publish a few ot these letters in the columns of this paper; see 

 on pages 92-95-97-107. what they say about the FUMIGATING KIND TOBACCO 

 POWDER* All began with a five-pound trial bag at our expense^ which gave them an opportunity 

 without cost to prove its GOODNESS and our assertion that it was the most effective^ cleanest and 

 quickest* as well as cheapest (10 cents per 100-foot house) article to fumigate with* and that all kinds of 

 aphis can be killed in one night. Let us send you a five-pound trial bag by express* it will cost you 

 nothing but the express charges on it* and be convinced that what your brother growers say of it is 

 true. Our booklet tells of it; we mail it on request.

HEATING A SMALL HOUSE. 



What heating arrangement is applic- 

 able for a small house when water some- 

 times rises in the ground to within two 

 feet of the surface? Can hot water be 

 used successfully, with any boiler on the 

 market when no more fall can be had? 

 What we want is an all-purpose house, 

 but mainly for propagatiug^ dahlias, 

 which would require a moderate portion 

 of space with a bottom, heat about 20 de- 

 grees above the regular temperature of 

 the house and the balance for the plants 

 after potting off. Is there any way to 

 heat with a flue or a combination of 

 flue and water pipes in furnace that will 

 not be liable to the escape of gas in the 

 house! W* ^' B. 



Unless the house under consideration 

 is only intended for use during a por- 

 tion of the year I would not advise at- 

 tempting to heat it by means of the 

 flue. While the flue has been extensively 

 and successfully used, it is no longer 

 looked upon as a satisfactory or econom- 

 ical means of heating a greenhouse. 

 You can, however, successfully combine 

 the flue and hot water system of heat- 

 ing. A flue can be constructed of brick 

 or of terra cotta pipe and made to fur- 

 nish heat to one side or all the way 

 around a house. The furnace can be 

 so made that several loops of pipe will 

 be carried immediately over the fire, 

 which will heat the water for a consid- 

 erable amount of radiation. A combined 

 flue and hot water heating device of this 

 character was figured and described m 

 the Review of December 31, 1903, page 

 269. The size of the firebox and the 

 number of coils of pipe necessary to 

 heat your house will depend upon the 

 size and exposure of the house, as well 

 as upon the temperature desired. With- 

 out this information, however, it is im- 

 possible to give specifications. If it is 

 possible to lower the boiler two feet be- 

 low the general surface of the soil and 

 still be free from water in the boiler pit 

 there are several types of small hot 

 w a ter heatcfo which might , be BMCcess- 

 fully used. If the size of the house and 

 the temperature desired were known more 

 helpful and satisfactory information 

 could be given. L. C. C.
