 MR. W. W. CASTLE, 



Dear Sir:— The Boiler and Circulator inbtalled by you last Fall has 

 given entire satisfaction. I have saved at least twelve tons of coal, and 

 have given Mr. Congdon an order this day for one of the largest Boilers 

 you make to be put in at the Stone property on Nelson St., Leominster. 

 It is the bebt Boiler I ever had. Yours respectfully, 



(Signed) J. PULLER. 



Oar NeTT Steel Plate Boiler, built eapeclally for greenhouse heating, 

 is the best and most economical on the market. We do piping and fitting 

 according to most approved methods and guarantee satisfaction.

Greenhouse Heating. 



SUPERLATIVE OF SUPERIOR. 



There is no grower in the big produc- 

 ing territory north of Chicago who does 

 not know^ Peter Weiler, of the Superior 

 Machine and Boiler Works, who makes 

 the Superior boiler. To these it will be 

 no news that Mr. Weiler has been at 

 •work for a long time on a new boiler 

 for greenhouse use. He has talked about 

 it with so many growers that the boiler 

 represents not only his own long years 

 of experience in building greenhouse 

 heaters, but the experience of many 

 growers who have used a great variety 

 of heating apparatus. The new boiler 

 is internally fired, shipped on skids, 

 needs no brick work and is all ready to 

 move into ])osition, couple up and lie- 

 gin to fire. Mr. Weiler says that in his 

 experience many a good boiler failed to 

 give satisfaction because of some fault 

 in its setting, and this he has aimed to 

 overcome by doing away with any ne- 

 cessity for setting. Ho says that another 

 thing which has impressed him as being 

 especially objectionable in boilers is the 

 necessity of crawling into or under many 

 of them to clean them ; you can dean 

 his new boiler without even letting the 

 fire out. He often has found, he says, 

 that a grower wants to change from hot 

 water to steam (although he often 

 chcMigcs back again) and he has pro- 

 vidi^l for tliis l>y making his boiler so 

 that it can boused for steam by simply 

 adding a drum. As weight makes cost 

 in every feature of a boiler, from cost 

 of material to freight charges and dray- 

 age, he has sought lightness. The boiler 

 at present is made in ten sizes. 



MIND THE DETAILS. 



Those who are familiar with the prob- 

 lems of heating greenhouses state that 

 they find far too little attention paid to 

 the small details of proper arrangement. 

 It makes all the difference in the world 

 •whether or not things are just as they 

 should be. It makes the difference as 

 between having plenty of heat, or just 

 sufficient to save the crop; it makes the 

 difference of a big coal bill, or a mod- 

 erate one; it makes the difference of re- 

 quiring constant attention, or only a 

 little. 



In a recent conversation the maker 

 of a boiler not often used by florists 

 related an experience with \a greenhouse

 this grower came to him to buy a boiler

 two heaters which are known to be ex-

 made it part of the contract in selling 

 him the heater that we would install it

 heaters he had broken should have met 

 his requirements excellently. When our
