NOW IS THE TIME TO PLAGE YOUR ORDER. 



"Had dilTereDt kinds of cast-iron boilers. I am assured tbat I 

 can save about one-thlid Tuel with your boiler. I started firing 

 October 10 and the fire never went out up to this time, May 12, ]i)07. 

 This boiler heats both my dwelling and greenhouses and gives the best 

 of satisfaction. My dwelling is about 40 feet from the boiler. Can* 

 raoomiuand your boiler to anybody. It is the only green- 

 house boiler." Q Baslib. Buffalo. N. Y. 



"Had three cast-iron sectional boilers and find I can beat twice 

 aa mnoh claaa with yours and save about one-tblrd fuel. 



We are using the Kroeschell-Honeywell Generator with the boiler and 

 believe it helps the boiler to distribute the water with a more rapid 

 flow, also saving fuel." n. Bommkbsbach, Decatur. 111. 



"I had a cast-iron sectional boiler before I got yours; would 

 not dye yours tor a dosen of the oUiers. Your boiler is the 

 quickest heating boiler I ever saw. I hardly ever have the damper 

 over half open and the draft shut most of the time. In the four years 

 I bad to buy a new section and four heads that had cracked, and I had 

 to be right with the cast-iron boiler and I would have to Are every 

 twenty or thirty minutes. The cast-iron boiler took much more 

 attention and more coal and would be leaking half the winter. I 

 want no more oast-Iron sectional boilers."

2-inch returns the full length of the 

 house. The boiler has just about one- 

 half the capacity necessary for this 

 plant. I would suggest the purchase 

 of another of the same size, the two to 

 be set in battery. L. C. C. 



PIPING IN MONTANA. 



I should like to get your advice in 

 regard to heating my two greenhouses. 

 I will use a hot water system and want 

 the piping arranged so a night fireman 

 •will not be necessary, if it is possible to 

 arrange it thus. The two houses are par- 

 allel, run from northeast to southwest, 

 and are separated by a solid wall. House 

 No. 1, the house with the northwest ex- 

 posure, is 11x50 feet; it measures six 

 feet to the eaves and nine feet to the 

 ridge. The northwest wall is concrete; 

 the southeast wall is glass where it ex- 

 tends above the other house. This house is 

 used for carnations, especially such va- 

 rieties as Pink and White Lawson, En- 

 chantress, Bose-pink Enchantress, Lady 

 Bountiful, White Perfection and Vic- 

 tory. House No. 2 is 12x50 feet, four 

 feet and a half to the eaves and seven 

 feet and a half to the ridge. The south- 

 east side and the southwest gable are 

 of wooden construction to a distance of 

 two feet and -a half from the ground; 

 above that they are glass. This house is 

 used for ferns and smilax, and for such 

 roses as Brides, Maids, Kaiserins and 

 Beauties. 



The work-room and boiler-pit are at 

 the southwest end of house No. 1. The 

 pit is five feet below the level of the 

 greenhouse floors. House No. 1 is piped 

 with 4-inch black pipe, two coils run-

ning around the house under the benches. 

 No. 2 has a 2-inch flow under the ridge 

 and drops into eight 1^4 -inch returns, 

 four on each side, under the benches. 

 This piping does not keep the houses 

 properly heated and it is my intention 

 to overhaul the plant this summer. The 

 outside temperature here, in central Mon- 

 tana, went as low last winter as 35 de- 

 grees below zero. L. L. W. 



The house No. 1, heated with 4-inch 

 pipe, in order to maintain a temperature 

 of 70 degrees should contain at least 

 seven runs of 4-inch pipe. I should ar- 

 range a flow and three returns on the ex- 

 posed side, and a flow and two returns 

 on the protected side, of the house, the 

 flows to come direct from the boiler and 

 go to the far end of the house and 

 there divide, to return by three pipes 

 on one side and two on the other. House 

 No. 2, heated with 1^-inch pipe, should 

 have fourteen returns instead of seven, 

 in order to maintain a temperature suf- 

 ficient for roses. L. C, C. 



A LEAN-TO FOR CARNATIONS. 



I am erecting a lean-to, 10x25 feet, 

 for carnations, on the south side of my 

 dwelling. As I am new at the busi-

ness, I am doing it in as economical a 

 way as possible, to see whether I can 

 catch on to the game. I have a large 

 hot air furnace in the cellar and am 

 going to put a hot water arrangement 

 in the furnace for the purpose of heat- 

 ing the greenhouse. Please give me some 

 idea of the piping that would be re- 

 quired for a house such as I have de- 

 scribed, in Massachusetts. P. B. B. 



I am sorry I cannot give you hearty 

 encouragement in your enterprise, but 

 fear it will not prove especially satis- 

 factory on the proposed basis. The 

 heating plant will not prove satisfac- 

 tory and the house is too small for best 

 management. To heat it, however, you 

 should provide at least l^^-inch pipe
