Valve Co., of Boston, Mass. That is all 

 you need. The size we have is on a 3- 

 inch pipe and cost $45. Where you use 

 the high pressure system, the controlling 

 or regulating valve is indispensable. 

 There are some points about placing it 

 on the system in the second edition of 

 the "florists' Manual." 



With the gravity system of steam heat- 

 ing the controlling valve is not neces- 

 sary, but the consensus of opinion with 

 those using high pressure steam and the 

 controlling valve is that there is a sav- 

 ing of fuel. Think of one instance 

 alone: It has been a mild day in bleak 

 November; one run of pipe has been 

 sufficient to keep your houses at 55 de- 

 grees; at 5 p. m. the wind from the west 

 begins to whistle, a blizzard is on the 

 wing and suddenly a chill blast is on 

 your glass, ifou do not have to poke 

 up your fires and shovel in fuel. The 

 blizzard is met and defeated in five min- 

 utes by a slight turn of the key on your 

 controlling valve, which fills your sys- 

 tem with hot, dry steam at from one to 

 ten pounds pressure; and so on through- 

 out the year, a turn of the key turns on 

 or shuts oflf steam instantly. W. S. 



FUEL GAS AND BURNERS. 



Will you kindly give us some informa- 

 tion about gas for greenhouses? We are 

 paying $2.50 per ton for lump coal. 

 Natural gas will cost us 15 cents per 

 thousand feet. Can we afford to use gas 

 at this price? The company will pipe 

 the gas to the greenhouses in 2-ineh 

 pipes. What pressure will we need? 

 We have a forty horse-power tubular 

 boiler. The house is 70x238 feet. What 

 kind of burners will it be best to use? 



B. & S. 



All I can do is to state comparative 

 values. It 'vill be necessary that you 

 decide the case for your conditions. So 

 far as heating power is concerned, a 

 ton of the best bituminous coal is equiv- 

 alent to about 30,000 cubic feet of gas, 

 or gas at 15 cents per thousand cubic 

 foot is equal to the best coal at $4.50. 

 The cost of firing, removing ashes, etc., 

 must be charged in the coal account to 

 oflFset the gas-bill. 



For a boiler such as you have, about 

 as good an arrangement as can be made 

 for a burner is to place a 2-inch supply 

 pipe in the bottom of the ash pit, all 

 grates having been removed, so that it 

 will lie close in the angle made by the 

 side wall. Place such a pipe on either 

 side. Arrange three openings in each 

 pipe, which will require two tees and an 

 ell on each section. Put nipples in the 

 openings and fit to each a jumbo mixer, 

 i. e., a mixer made for a 2-ineh pipe; 

 carry a pipe from the mixer to within 



INDESTRUCTIBLE GREENHOUSE BENCH

The material Used In construction consists of cement, grravel 

 and sand with re-enforcements. A cement bench lasts a life- 

 time, constructed so it can be moved any time and anywhere. 

 All work gruaranteed. Cost within reach of every florist. Study 

 carefully the advantages over wood or other material used for 

 greenhouse benching. Estimates gladly furnished upon appli- 

 cation by giving us the exact dimensions of the benches you 

 might want to rebuild or put in new houses.
