CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



.1 am now heating my greenhouses with 

 a Furman No. 400*S. and a Kroeschell 

 No, 5. 1 want to know if the following 

 boiler will do the same amount of work 

 and as economically: 



Vertical boiler, five feet in diameter, 

 eleven feet six inches high; 268 tubes, 

 two inches in diameter, nine feet seven 

 and a half inches long. Fire box bell- 

 mouth shaped, with a water leg or space 

 of three inches all around the fire. Shak- 

 ing grate fifty-four inches in diameter. 

 The shell and fire-box three-eighths of 

 &n inch thick; heads, seven-sixteenths of 

 an inch thick. This has been rated as a 

 100 horse-power boiler, and I want to 

 use it for hot water and possibly to use 

 pea or soft coal. J. Y. 



It is evident from the data given and 

 the rated capacity of your No. 4008A 

 Furman boiler that the heating capacity 

 of the one is just about equal to the 

 other. The upright boiler has about 

 800 feet of heating surface, which makes 

 it capable of carrying about 6,400 square 

 feet of direct radiation, or nearly the 

 same as the rated capacity of the No. 

 4008A boiler above noted, which is rated 

 to carry 6,950 square feet of direct radia- 

 tion. It is evident, therefore, that the 

 boiler in question cannot be relied upon 

 to take the place of the two you now 

 have. L. C. C. 



ASBESTOS IN DETROIT. 



Since the recognition of the economy 

 in the use of asbestos coverings for boil- 

 ers and feed pipes the H. W. Jobns- 

 Manville Co. has done a large business 

 with greenhouse owners, and the business 

 interests of the concern in the city of 

 Detroit and the territory adjacent there- 

 to have increased to such an extent that 

 a new branch is abaut to be opened there 

 by that company. This branch will be 

 located at 72 Jefferson avenue, Detroit, 

 under the management of Willard K. 

 Bush. Mr. Bush is well and favorably 

 known throughout that section of the 

 country, having been connected with the 

 Milwaukee branch of the company for 

 a number of years. The company will 

 carry a complete stock of goods at the 

 Detroit branch. 



STEAM FOR FOUR HOUSES. 



I have a range of four greenhouses, 

 in the central .part of New York state. 

 Will you kindly advise Tne^ow to pipe 

 them for steam, using 1-inch pipe? House 

 No. 1 runs north and south and is 

 18x70. House No. 2 is 18x56. House 

 No. 3 is 12x50. House No. 4 is 18x50. 

 Nos. 2, .3 and 4 are connected houses, 

 with partitions between, and run east 

 and west. The night temperature in 

 house No. 2 will be 60 degrees; in the 

 other houses, 50 degrees.

Dear Sirs:— We have one of your Oapitol Boilers in our Kreenhouses, 

 and I want to say that It is the finest Steam Boiler I ever saw. Glass surface is hard 

 to heat, but we have no trouble whatever. It is saving us coal and we can keep a 

 better temperature than we ever had before. No work to take care of it, no flues 

 to clean. It is simply a bird. We shall build more bouses in the near future, and 

 shall want another of the very largest you have. Very respectfully, 



John JIllsworth, Bus. Mgr., Ellsworth Greenhouses. 



This ie the evidence of practical experience. If your present 

 heating system does not give you similar resalts, surely you will put' 

 in a Capitol Boiler without delay. If yqu are building new greenhouses, 

 surely you will equip with Capitol Boilers.
