Greenhouse Boiler. ^2^*--?^-^ 



BollerB made of the best material; shell, fire-box 

 sheets and heads of steel; water space all around, 

 front, sides and back. Write for information. 



N. ZwEiFEL, No. Milwaukee.Wis., writes:— "I have 4 houses, each 28x200 feet, with a total 

 of 27,000 sq. ft. of glass. I can get all the pipes warm in thirty minutes with one of your No- 

 13 Boilers, and it is easy firing." 



Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, writes:— "I bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1902. Takes 

 care of 7,000 sq. ft. of glass; would take care of 2,000 more. I have had a cast-iron boiler, 

 but it broke down twice In tour years, always in the coldest weather. It broke down 

 Dec. 26, 1904, and I lost all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroeschell 

 Boilers and do not worry about their breaking down."

CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



We notice on page 1456 of a recent 

 issue that the capacity of a Scotch marine 

 boiler eight feet by forty-four inches is 

 given as 750 lineal feet of 4-inch pipe. 

 Is this not a mistake? It would seem 

 to us that a boiler of such size should 

 take care of more heating surface, espe- 

 cially so when you consider that our 

 smallest boiler, No. 1, will positively 

 take care of 2,000 running feet of 4- 

 inch pipe. Please let us know what you 

 have to say about this. If the differ- 

 ence is as great as your article makes 

 out, it surely ought to be a great boom 

 for our boiler. Kroeschell Bros. Co. 



It is gratifying to have a blunder 

 caught up before harm is done. They 

 are quite right; the Scotch marine boiler 

 in question has a capacity for much more 

 than 750 feet of 4-inch pipe. It is evi- 

 dent that 1,750 feet was intended, as this 

 is very close to the true capacity of the 

 boiler. L. C. C. 



A BEGONIA SHOW. 



"^Fr. Jones, I want a nice display of 

 begonias." 



' ' You shall have it. ' ' 



This was tlie brief colloquy between 

 Superintendent of Parks George W. 

 Burke and Foreman John Jones, of the 

 conservatory in Schenley park, Pittsburg. 

 The result surprises lovers of flowers, 

 who, because the chrysanthemum show is 

 over, have feared there would be nothing 

 special to reward the visitor. 



In compliance with the orders of Su- 

 perintendent Burke, Foreman Jones and 

 his men prepared a beautiful display of 

 the lovely begonia. The entire wing 

 connecting the palm and the victoria 

 houses is given over to the flower. 



The main variety of begonias on ex- 

 hibit is Ciloire de Lorraine. It forms 

 the prevailing color scheme of the 

 masses, and a sport of Gloire, the Turn- 

 ford Hall, pure white, is interspersed 

 and massed in large quantities. Groups 

 of Begonia semperflorens and of Chinese 

 primroses combine to present a fine 

 scene.

Gentlemen: — 



I am very much pleased with the new 

 house, and I wish you could see the crop 

 that I have in it. All my other houses have 

 good crops, but this one is a record breaker, 

 and the north bench is as good as any, as 

 there is absolutely no shade except a nar- 

 row strip fron the south gutter. 



The special roof trussing works all 

 right, and it is conceded by brother flor- 

 ists and gardeners who have visited me, that 

 it is as good and substantial a house as 

 any one could desire. 



Very truly yours, 



J. A. Long.
