Expressions From Men Who Know 



Mr. J. G. Frlsz, of Vlncennes, Ind., writes as follows: 

 • "Your No. 13 boiler is carrying 25,000 square feet of glass and I can keep 

 It at 60° In the coldest weather without any trouble. I have three other 

 types of boilers also heatins: a range of 25,000 square feet of glass, but the 

 No. 18 Kroeschell boiler only takes half the coal and half the work 

 to get the same results." 



P. S.— Mr. , J. G. Frlsz, of Vlncennes, Indiana, has the largest range of 

 glass in Indiana devoted to vegetable forcing. 



Damm Bros., Ohicago. HI., write: '...'Ia-V 



"In 1894 we bought one of your No. 12 boilers to take the place of four 

 smaller boilers of another make. Your boiler has done the entire work to 

 the highest satisfaction, savinf; labor and about one-third of the fuel 

 we used to burn before. We had that boiler up to 1906, that is 12 years, 

 having no repairs on it whatever, except one set of flues we put in in liKX). 

 Last fall we mstalled one of your No. 14 boilers, havingenlarged our plant. 

 It takes care of 35,000 square feet of glass very easy, when firing we keep 

 the ash door open only about one inch. We think your No. 14 boiler could 

 carry 40,000 square feet of glass." ,. 



Mr. Nic Zweifel, North Milwaukee, Wis., writes: 



"I have a range of 200-foot houses with a total of 27,000 square feet of 

 glass. I can get all the pipes warm In SO minutet with one of your 

 No. 13 greenhouse boilers and it is very easy firing. Can fire just as easy 

 with screenings as with lump coal." 



W. W. Allabaugh, Silverdale, Pa., writes: 



"Your boiler gives entire satisfaction. You will notice the No. 4 boiler is 

 rated to warm 10,500 square feet of glass and I have over 12,000 square feet 

 of glass." 



Theo. Diedrich, Anacostia, Washington. D. C, writes: 



"No. 6 Boiler carries two houses 20 x 172. and three houses 22 x%; this Is 

 8(900 square feet of glass more than its ratlns*" 



Wm. Pinchbeck, Ridgefleld, Conn., writes: ' 



"I expect to enlarge my plant soon and when I do shall use another of 

 vour boilers. Now a few words about the boiler I bought of you in 1901. 

 This is a No. I boiler, rated in your catalogue at 6.000 square feet. It is 

 taking care of 7,000 square feet of Klass in carnation bouses and works 

 to perfection. No trouble whatever in cold nights; no night fireman; easy 

 to work and easy to coal. I consider this the best boiler on the market and 

 I have used a good many different kinds." 



Jacob Phillips, Rogers Park, Ohicago, 111., writes: 



"Has 20 000 square feet of glass. Can keep 60 degrees in coldest weather. 

 Had one boiler 15 years, only expense one set of flues. Kroeschell Boiler is 

 so satisfactory that I do not care to try any other." 



G. Basler. Buffalo, N. Y., writes: 



"Had different kinds of cast iron boilers. I am assured that I can save 

 about one-third fuel with your boiler. I started firing October 10th and 

 the fire never went out up to this time. May 12, 1907. This boiler heats both 

 my dwelling and greenhouses and gives the best of satisfaction. My dwell- 

 ing is about 40 feet from the boiler. Can recommend your boiler to anybody. 

 It is the only i^reenhouse boiler." 



Chas. W. Unglaub, Springfield, O.. writes: , ^ ^ , 



"I had a cast iron sectional boiler before I got yours: would not give yours 

 for a dozen of the others. 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. I wish I had gotten it four years ago, when I got the 

 sectional boiler. I would be ahead now. In the four years I had 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 fire every twenty or thirty minutes. 

 It took more coal than your boiler. The cast iron boiler took much 

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

 no more cast iron sectional boilers." 



THE KROESCHELL BOILER IS BUILT RIGHT 

 FOR FUEL ECONOMY, DURABILITY, SAFETY 



and is the most popular boiler made. Daring the season of 1906-1907 the Kroeschell boiler was installed to 

 heat 4,286,000 square feet of glass. 1346 Cast Iron Boilers were replaced by the Kroeschell in 1904, 1905, 

 1906, 1907. No other type of boiler has ever equaled such a record or made so many friends. Send for catalogue.

inches higher, so as to grow plants bet- 

 ter under the bench. I see that many ad- 

 vocate more glass in the south side of 

 the roof than in the north side. I 

 scarcely can see why they do this, as our 

 little houses run wild in temperature 

 when the sun shines, either in summer 

 or winter. I think, if the roof is equal, 

 that such sudden change would not occur 

 either way, for when the sun is hid the 

 temperature falls nearly as rapidly as it 

 rose. 



Now you have our plan. Why can we 

 not raise the best plants and flowers in 

 this bouse by using the ventilation wise- 

 ly? Please mention all defects about 

 the plan that you may see, and mention 

 any improvements that you think might 

 be added.
