GET WISE 



TO THE FACT 



You Will Save Coal 



by installing The Martin Rocking Grate. Costs a little more 

 than ordinary grates, but the coal burns— it doesn't go into the 

 ashpit. 



We refer to Peter Relnberg, Emil Buettner, Bassett & Washburn, Wietor Bros., 

 Adam Zander. Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Seed Co., and many others. 

 They will tell you to order the Martin Rookine Grate for the new boilers 

 to be put in this seabon. Write for caUiloguo and prices.

Mention The Review when you write 



turns. For house No. 1, which is) 14x 

 100 feet, use two 2VL>-in<'li flow pipes 

 and ten 2-inch returns. The fact that 

 the smaller boiler would be below the 

 other boiler would make no difference, 

 except that a larger share of the work 

 would be put on the smaller boiler. 



HOUSES FOE GENERAL STOCK. 



I am planning to build two houses, 

 each 20i/{.x50 feet, and six feet to the 

 gutters, with three feet of glass in the 

 side walls and in one end. I wish to 

 grow carnations, roses and a general 

 line of plants; with lettuce and rad- 

 ishes. Can I successfully do it in the 

 two houses mentioned? How many 

 runs of 2-inch hot water pipe will be 

 required to heat them properly in the 

 latitude of St. Paul, Minn.? Any sug- 

 gestion you may offer will be greatly 

 appreciated. W. C. M. 



If the houses are connected, so that 

 but one wall of each is exposed, a tem- 

 perature for roses can be maintained 

 by using three 2i^-inch flow pipes and 

 twelve 2-inch returns. For carnations 

 use the same number of flow pipes and 

 nine returns. In case the houses have 

 both walls exposed, put in two addi- 

 tional returns in each house. One of 

 the flows can be carried on each plate 

 and the other about two to three feet 

 below the ridge, and the returns can 

 be distributed in coils underneath.
