considerably in the economy of fuel. 

 If you can exchange the boiler in ques- 

 tion for one rated at about 500 or 600 

 feet, it will, in my judgment, be more 

 economical, as the room in question re- 

 quires about 300 feet of radiation in 

 your Pennsylvania climate. A No. 14 

 is more nearly the size you need. If you 

 place radiating pipes on the side walls 

 of the room you can arrange to heat 

 with hot water without placing the boiler 

 in a pit. The main flow should go well

DOUBLE GLASS SASH. 



There are two reasons why florists find

 company claims that not a plant has been 

 lost by freezing, either in .hotbeds or 

 coldframes, though the temperature was 

 frequently below zero. 



There are upper and lower layers of 

 glass in the sash and between them is an 

 air space about %-inch thick. The glass 

 admits the light always and the air space 

 keeps out the cold and retains the heat 

 stored by the sun. The second layer of 

 glass costs less than boards, mats or any 

 other opaque covering and, the company

 any one of its superiority. If the double- 

 glass sash will do what is claimed for it 

 the florists and gardeners will find it a 

 great labor saver and plant saver.
