Greenhouse Heating. 



CONTKABY to expectations, the price of 

 Pocahontas coal has gone up instead of 

 down. It is now quite a little higher 

 than it was two weeks ago. Even higher 

 prices are to be expected. 



SuBSCEiBEBS are invited to write the 

 editor of the Heating Department, de- 

 scribing their troubles or asking any 

 questions regarding the heating of green- 

 houses, the piping or boiler-room. But 

 please do not ask us to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. Each article adver- 

 tised in this department of The Review 

 is good, and the advertisers sell them on 

 their merits. 



GAS OB COAL AS FUEL? 



Is gas for fuel a success in growing 

 plants! Would gas at 25 cents per 

 thousand feet be cheaper than three- 

 quarter Goshen coal at $2.60 per tonf 

 "We burn three cars of this coal during 

 the firing period each year in this 

 Ohio climate. What is a fair price to 

 pay for gas? H. & C. 



While gas is fatal to plants if al- 

 lowed to get into the houses, it can be 

 used to good advantage if care is taken 

 to prevent the gas from coming in 

 contact with the plants. At the prices 

 named, coal would be cheaper than 

 gas so far as their heating value is 

 concerned, but if the cost of stoking 

 is considered the gas will be less ex- 

 pensive. Gas can seldom be obtained 

 for less than 25 cents per thousand 

 feet.

Hoghson Regulating Valve 



are all satisfied with the results it has given, and many 

 duplicate orders is the proof. Tbls Valve ^111 main- 

 tain a steady pressure on the low side, no matter 

 how the initial pressure fluctuates. By carrying 40 or 50 

 pounds pressure on the boiler and setting the valve to 

 carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line, you always have a 

 reserve to fall back on in rase of a sudden drop in tem- 

 perature. Our new oataloarue Is Just out and if 

 you contemplate making any caanges you had better 

 get one— it ia yours for the asking.
