growers employ experts to plan the heat- 

 ing arrangements and consider the serv- 

 ice so valuable that they are not only 

 willing to pay well for advice but ex- 

 pend large sums in following it. To the 

 small grower the subject is of no less 

 importance. 



This is the season at which the appa- 

 ratus should be overhauled from A to Z 

 and put in apple-pie order. Changes, if 

 needed, take time and the cool nights, 

 with their need for heat, will be here 

 almost before you know it. 



Hot water not only remains the best 

 medium for warming, under certain con- 

 ditions, but its range has been greatly 

 extended in the last few years and it is 

 now employed satisfactorily and econom- 

 ically in much larger units than hereto- 

 fore. Steam has been so developed, as 

 applied to greenhouse heating, that many 

 of the largest growers have found it a 

 profitable investment to concentrate the 

 entire boiler plant in one central sta- 

 tion, which may include pumps, dynamos 

 and even cold storage apparatus. 



While the best heating apparatus, 

 small or large, is the one with the fewest 

 frills, it is not always possible to em- 

 ploy either water or steam in its sim- 

 plest form; conditions in each case must 

 be met, and can be satisfactorily met by 

 study. It is not possible to say that any 

 one system is the best under all circum- 

 stances and it may require, and, indeed, 

 in possibly the majority of cases does re- 

 quire, the addition of one or more of the 

 mechanical aids to secure the right re- 

 sults. Especially are these needed in the 

 numerous establishments that have grown

Gentlemen:— You can stroD^ly and unhesitatinrly rocommend the 

 "Eclipse" piston type reduclnr valve to florists. We have two purchased 

 of you last year. W* would not have them out for double their cost t^nA 

 find them as sensitive as a watch. We will be in Chicago soon to take up 

 the vacuum system with you. Yours truly,
