HOT WATER PREFERRED.

 prefer ste.'iin t<i water.' W'cnild it he too 

 laryc' 1 now have three small Imilers to 

 lie.at my three honsi's and use hot water. 



(i.O. K. 



I hardly think you \v(nild lie justified 

 in installing; :i seventy-live horse-power 

 lioiler for a plant of this size, I should 

 also prefer to operate it on a hot water 

 liasis. Some larye plants can lie lieatcd 

 t roin a central station liy steam more 

 ( conomically than liy hot water. Imt 

 small jilants that do not .justify the e.x 

 pense of a night lireinaii are best as a 

 rnli' on a hot water litisis. L. ( ', ('. 



COAL PRICES LOW. 



'I his is the time for fjreenhouse own-

 the coal market <'onditioiis : 



''The market comiitions thronyhont 

 the country are such as to warrant the 

 stiitement tlnit while the record of toii- 

 inige is reasonalily satisfactory the re- 

 turns in money are inueli less than they 

 were for the correspomlini; jieriod a year 

 ayo. The jjeneral .aveiaye of prices for 

 the vtJir will he M'vv much lowei- than 

 last year and, nnless indications fail. 

 7nany poal conij^anies are yoinji to show 

 their niargin on the w ronjr side of the 

 ledger. I'tirticular point is made of that 

 fact .iust now by the pe('iiliarities of the 

 situation. 



WAYSIDE NOTES. 



.\dain I, anil iV: Sons, of Wa|ipin<;ers 

 I'alls. X. ^'., report good sales in carna- 

 tion jihints. One order, from <)klahorna, 

 tdeaned iiji White Kin-hant less. They be- 

 lieve in advertising and expect to enlarge 

 the jilant to keep pace with increasing 

 business. \'ictory is the best scarlet 

 here, but does not make a heiivy growth 

 outside, lieacoii will be tried, on general 

 yood rejiort. \'iolet Marie Louise does 

 well, grown in pots in the early stagi'. 

 l)isease is nnkiiown at this thrifty place.

Consider This, Mr. Florist 



Capitol Boilers are so constructed as to present to the action 

 of the flames the largest possible amount of prime heating surface ; 

 in addition, the hot gases and smoke travel through the boiler 

 three times before passing into the chimney, thus insuring the full 

 benefit of all the fuel consumed— and this means less fuel, les.? 

 expense. 



The Divided Section in Capitol Boilers allows for quick 

 repairs without interfering with the continuous heating of the 

 greenhouse. 



Send for addresses of florists wlio use Capitol Boilers— let 

 them advise you from iheir experience. We will send our Catalog 

 and name of nearest branch at the same time.
