Seeing Chicago 



THIS IS WHAT THE CRIER IS SAYING: 



"On my left you will see the well-known E^roeschell Hot 

 Water Greenhouse Boiler. It is the invention of Charles 

 Kroeschell , one of the oldest and best known boilermanuf acturers 

 in the country. He makes all kinds of boilers for all purposes. 

 "From 80 years of experience in the building of greenhouse boilers, he has developed this wonderful 

 article, which is acknowledged by all who have used them to be the only perfect heater in the world. 



"The Hot Water Boilers sold by this firm last year alone are heating 2,158,000 square feet of glass! 

 "Mr. Kroeschell has just constructed a new Jumbo Size, No. 15, which will take care of 60,000 square feet 

 of g^ldss, maintaining a temperature of 60 degrees when the outside temperature is 15 deg^rees below zero. 

 "This is said to be the largest Hot Water Greenhouse Boiler in the world. 



"If any of you gentlemen are florists, be sure to write Kroeschell Bros, for prices and particulars if you are 

 in need of a boiler. They will furnish you boilers for the smallest as well as the largest greenhouses."

carry the 2-inch flow to the far end of 

 the house and have it connect at the 

 opposite end of the manifold to where 

 the 11/4 -inch return is now taken off, 

 your plant should give good service, pro- 

 vided you have radiation enough. The 

 piping as rearranged should maintain 60 

 degrees to 65 degrees. L. C. C. 



SIZE OF BOILER. 



What horse-power tubular boiler would 

 be required to heat 10,000 feet of glass 

 to 55 degrees in Massachusetts climate? 

 The houses are low and have no glass in 

 the side walls. Please give size and 

 height of the smokestack. M. W. 



While I do not like to estimate heat- 

 ing capacity on glass area stated in 

 round numbers, I think a thirty horse- 

 power boiler should be large enough for 

 the area you state. An 18-inch smoke- 

 stack twenty-five or thirty feet tall, de- 

 pending upon adjacent objects, should be 

 sufficient. L. C. C. 



VAYSIDE NOTES. 



J. G. Barrett, of Troy, N. Y., intends 

 building a store and show house imme- 

 diately after Easter. 



Sambrook Bros, were rushed with 

 funeral work at the time of my visit 

 in Troy. T. J. Totten, of Saratoga, 

 looked in on his way home from the 

 south, where he went to recuperate and 

 prepare for a busy season. He says the 

 craftsmen in the coast towns are up-to- 

 date and he was especially interested in 

 the establishments of John W-olf and 

 Oelschig & Son, of Savannah, Ga., where 

 Ficas elastica is grown by the thousand.

C. D. Mills, of Jacksonville, Fla., does a 

 big business. J. M. Connelly Co. and 

 WilUam Mcintosh & Sons are the leaders 

 in Charleston, S. C, as florist and seeds- 

 man respectively. Mrs. H. Eehder, of 

 Wilmington, N. C, is one of the most 

 progressive of our lady florists. W. A. 

 Hammond, of Eichmond, Va., grows the 

 finest Beauties to be found in this sec- 

 tion. Alex Scott, grower for the West 

 View Greenhouses, Atlanta, Ga., says 

 their soil and climate is ideal for roses 

 and carnations. The Idlewild Green- 

 houses, of Asheville, N. C, report a good 

 season. The purchase of a large tract 

 of land for a residence, by Howard 

 Gould, at Biltmore, will materially help 

 this town. Quinn & Co. and Henry A. 

 Steinmetz, of Raleigh, N. C, report an 

 excellent season. 



J. C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, N. Y., 

 is cutting some grand roses from a house 

 of King construction, 60x200, finished 

 early last autumn. His lilies are among 

 the healthiest I have seen and will be 

 in just right for Easter. His son, 

 George, was making a stunning bouquet 

 of violets and white sweet peas, a new 

 combination to me, but very pretty. 



C. H. Roney, of the Lake View Rose 

 Gardens, Jamestown, N. Y., has a big
