Dear Sirs: I wish to write you a few lines concerning your No. 2 boiler which we received last 

 fall. Your boiler proved to be excellent in material and workmanship. It did the work very 

 nicely last winter with a small amount of coal. Others used up more than a carload while we 

 used only 15 tons all winter, including what we used in the dwelling. Every one in our neighbor- 

 hood has got a Kroeschell boiler. As soon as the other greenhouse men saw it they took a llKing to 

 it and now they've all got one. We speak well of your boiler to all who see it. The Kroeschell is 

 oar favorite if we ever get another. Yours Respectfully, 



John Koenig, Box 88, Valley Crossing, O. 



NOT CAST IROX-Has thin waterways. ■ Heats quickly. It is the most^efflcient, 

 safest and most economical boiler built. Very powerful. 15 sizes, heating from the 

 smallest greenhouse up to 50,000 square feet ofglass to 60 degrees, at 15 degrees below 

 zero. Prices and catalogue on application.

feet above the heating pipes. This 

 makes the tank about twelve feet or 

 more above the top of the boiler. There 

 seems to be no trouble with the circu- 

 lation, but the upper room is slow to 

 heat, and air accumulates in the pipes, 

 so that it has to be let out two or three 

 times a day. Where does the air come 

 from and what is the remedy? 



J. Y. L. 



Your heating system appears to be well 

 arranged, and the only modification I 

 would suggest would be to run an inde- 

 pendent flow pipe from the boiler for 

 each house. Do not take off one riser 

 for both houses. One other suggestion 

 is to elevate the expansion tank so as 

 to give a little more pressure in the 

 upper house. If you can get eight or 

 ten feet pressure in the upper house I 

 do not think you will have so much trou- 

 ble with air. The independent riser for 

 each house and the increased pressure 

 will, I believe, correct both troubles of 

 which you complain. L. C. C. 



GREENHOUSE ADJOINING STORE 



Will you please advise me as to the 

 best arrangement for pipes and benches 

 in a new house which I am building, 

 here in northern Indiana? The house is 

 28x50 and runs east and west. It is 

 five feet high at the sides and twelve 

 feet six inches from floor to ridge. I 

 intend to grow smilax, asparagus and 

 bedding stock — no carnations or roses. 

 I propose to set the boiler in the base- 

 ment of the store. 



How many pipes, and of what size, 

 would you advise placing on the side 

 and end walls? No pipes will be needed 

 on the north wall, as the brick store will 

 form that. Under what benches would 

 you place pipes, and how many? 



D. B. 



My idea of an arrangement for your 

 house would be to place all the piping 

 on the side walls except the main flow 

 pipes, which I would place either under 

 the ridge or parallel with the purlins. 

 Two 2-inch flow pipes along the purlins, 

 with five 2-inch pipes on the store wall
