READ WHAT THE USERS SAY 



B£XT£B AND CHEAPER THAN ANY OTHER SYSTEM. 



Zanesvllle, O., Feb. 11th, '11. 

 Gentlemen: — 



In regard to the Kroeschell Threaded Tube Piping Sys- 

 tem, I think It l8 better than standard piping system, not 

 only in being cheaper but thinner, and giving more heat. 

 I found the Generator was a paying proposition and would 

 recommend its use to all using a hot water system. My 

 No. 11 Boiler does the work satisfactorily on over 25,000 

 «quare feet of glass. Very truly yours, 



C. L. HUMPH RET. 



TEST AT 14 BELOW ZERO— HEATS WITH EASE. 



Omaha, Neb.. Jan. 4th, '11. 

 Gentlemen: — 



It might Interest you to know the results obtained from 

 your boiler and threaded tube piping system. We have just 

 had a night of 14 degrees below, with a stiff wind blowing, 

 and we carried the house at 52 degrees with the boiler at 

 170 degrees. The house Is piped for 50 degrees, and as we 

 are using a cheap grade of slack, the result speaks for Itself. 

 We were told by the dealer when we ordered the coal that 

 we could not burn It, so we bought' a car of good coal to 

 help along If the slack would not give results, but It was 

 not necessary. Your Generator certainly helps the circu- 

 lation and your method of piping for hot water Is a sur- 

 prise to some of the greenhouse men In this vicinity. 



Very truly yours, 



FERGUSON BROS. 



BETTER THAN STEAM. 



Pontlac, 111., March .16th, 'iO. 

 Gentlemen: — 



We have no trouble whatever In keeping a temperature of 

 60 to 65 degrees In our carnation houses, and 60 degrees in 

 our rose houses. In the coldest weather. We Are once In 

 three hours on very cold nights, and at other tlnies once 

 during the night. The boiler has given excellent satisfac- 

 tion; It Is simply wonderful. We had a fire box boiler pre- 

 vious to this, but your Improved system has It be^t to death 

 In every way. Your system of piping, together with your 

 Improved Generator system, has steam skinned to death In 

 BO many ways. We wer3 on the market to buy high pres- 

 sure steam, but after receiving such reports of your Improved 

 hot water system, we concluded that your experience was 

 worth something, and have been delighted at the results, 

 and so glad we took your advice and put in hot water in- 

 stead of steam. Very respectfully, 



W. J. MILLER & SON.

overhead from one house to the other, 

 and covered with packing as already 

 directed. 



In each of the new houses run a 2^^- 

 inch flow to the farther end and con- 

 nect with the return coils, which should 

 include seven 2-inch pipes in each of 

 the houses. The returns should, of 

 course, have a slight fall, as should 

 also the flow pipes, if possible. For 

 the house 22 by 75 feet, use two 21^,- 

 inch flows and eight 2-inch returns. 

 The flows can be on the plates and the 

 returns on the side walls, or a part of 

 them might be under the benches. 



PrPINO IN VIBGINIA. 



Please give us some information as 

 to the size of boiler we need and the 

 amount of piping. At present we have 

 three houses, each. 25x102. The side 

 walls are six feet high and the height 

 to the ridge is twelve feet. How many 

 runs of 2-inch pipe will be needed for 

 each house? We wish to put in a new 

 boiler and intend to build two more 

 houses of the same size. The new 

 ones will be at the soiithwest corner, 

 and the strongest winds come from the 

 west. C. & W. 



The question does not state the pur- 

 pose to which the houses are to be put, 

 or the class of plants to be grown in 

 them, so that no very definite advice 

 can be given as to the piping that will 

 be required. 



For heating houses 25x102 feet to 

 60 degrees in the latitude of Virginia, 

 it will be advisable to put in three 

 214-inch flow pipes and nine 2-inch re- 

 turns, provided there is no glass in 

 the side walls. In case a temperature
