THE KROESCHELL BOILER 



was installed to heat over six million 

 (6,000,000) square feet of glass during 

 the past three years. 



Expressions from the men who know: 



Used steam; was advised to cbangre to 

 your hot water boiler. Find it about balf 

 the worlc with your boiler. We would 

 bave DO other. 



Stkrnitcke Bros., Parle Ridge, 111. 



Have handled many greenhouse boilers 

 of other makes, but Kroescbell beats 

 them all. I get perfect circulation in 80 

 minutes. Wm. Otto, Oshlcosb, Wis. 



Former boiler, 16 horsepower steam; as 

 much difference as between day and 

 night. Your boiler does not need recom- 

 mendation. Will recommend itself wher- 

 ever used. 



Theo F. Damekow, Grosse Pointe, Mich. 



Your boiler, in my estimation, is the best 

 in use today. We have two of them. 



Potter & Sons, Waukegan, 111. 



When we rebuilt our plant, we were un- 

 decided whether to use your boiler or a 

 cast iron boiler. We are satisfied we 

 made no mistake in using Kroescbell. 

 Yeatman & Way, Kennett Square, Pa. 



Have fired greenhouse boilers since 

 1885, both steam and hot water. Yours 

 suits me the best. I bave two of your 

 boilers. At one time I bad two cast iron 

 boilers working together and during a 

 blizzard the rear section of one boiler 

 gave out and the front section of the 

 other sprung a crack a couple of months 

 later. No more cast iron boilers for me. 

 I came very close to freezing out in both 

 instances. G. M. Thost, DeSoto, Mo. 



The Kroeschefl Generator 



prevents boiling over, cures sluggish circu- 

 lation, saves fuel, smaller mains can be 

 used, water can be heated to 240° with- 

 out boiling, inaeases circulation, 3 to 5 

 times faster; no hot water system com- 

 plete without iL 



HAVE YOU EVER INVESTIGATED 



the one sure thing 



KBOESCHELL 



BOILERS 



See the simplicity of construction. Plate 

 material, NOT CAST IRON. Long fire travel, 

 thin water ways. The best and the most heat- 

 ing surface in the world for the money. 



THE KROESCHELL BOILER will give you more 

 heat with the same piping required by 

 other boilers, and with less fuel.

THE KROESCHELL BOILER 



replaced 1346 cast iron boilers in 1905, 

 1906, 1907, and many in 1908. 



Expressions from the men who know: 



We are very well pleased with your 

 boiler. I have had fourteen years' 

 experience in heating, six with gravity 

 steam and eight with vacuum, but give 

 me the hot water system for all pur- 

 poses. Use me for references any time. 

 E. Lighthibeb & Son, Xenia, O. 



Have used upright boilers, tubular 

 boilers, and east iron boilers. Your 

 boiler heats up better and easier than 

 any boiler we have ever had anything to 

 do with. If we ever buy another boiler, it 

 will certainly be a Kroeschell. 

 Poole & PuBLiiANT, Washington C. H., O. 



I have fired boilers both here and in 

 Europe for the last forty years. The 

 Kroeschell is the best type of boiler I 

 have ever used. I bave two cast iron 

 boilers, also a locomotive boiler coupled 

 with yours, but did not need to use the 

 cast iron boilers this winter. Your No. 7 

 boiler is rated at 15,000 sq. ft. of elass 

 and carries 25.000 sq. ft. of glass until the 

 outside temperature goes down to 10" of 

 frost. We have no trouble to keep 

 temperatures in our houses with easy 

 firing since we installed your boiler. The 

 main flows and returns are beating our 

 potting shed and packing room, which 

 are not included in the amount of square 

 feet of glass. From the boiler to the 

 farthest end of our violet houses and re- 

 turn is 800 ft. and circulates very quickly.

The Kroeschell Piping System 



is being installed by many progressive 

 florists. \%,\yi or 2-in. threaded pipe, 

 or 4-in. tubing is used. Boiler can be set 

 on level with greenhouse walks. You do 

 not need deep boiler pits.

years, though the poorer quality may 

 account in a measure for this poor de- 

 mand. The asters we are now getting 

 eould, with a little more care on the 

 growers' part, be made more salable. 

 More care should be taken as regards 

 bunching. The vast majority arrive 

 carelessly tied together, no thought hav- 

 ing been given as to grading, or in 

 JDaking the bunch attractive in itself, all 

 of which detracts in large degree from 

 tlie selling points of the flower. Asters 

 ij fatly and properly bunched, even if the 

 (|iiality is poor, sell much more readily 

 i!ian a better grade carelessly bunched 

 '"id tied any old way.
