Dear Sirs: I am so well pleased with the self-feedinjr boiler I bought of you last 

 fall that I feel it is my duty to tell you so. It is heating 40U ft. of 2-inch pipe O. K. I 

 have had the time, also the zero weather, to give It a good test, and it proved all you 

 claim for it. I did not lose a minute's sleep this winter so far. I fill up the magazine 

 about 9 o'clock in the evening and never look after it till 5 or 6 o'clock next morning 

 and always find the flee in good shape. Yours truly, Edwin F. Campbell. 



Wilks Self-feeding Hot Water Boilers 



are built entirely of steel and especially constructed for the man who 

 does his own firing. No night firing necessary. Will easily heat 

 up to 3000 sq. ft. of glass in the coldest weather. There are many ( ther 

 good things about the Wilks that you ought to know. Write today for 

 catalogue and fnll particulars.

theory that all the so-called fuel experts 

 in the country might expound. 



As I might be considered a prejudiced 

 witness in this matter, I suggest that 

 your correspondent order a few sample 

 cars of Pocahontas coal from any of the 

 well known dealers or producers of 

 same and make a practical teat for him- 

 self. The experiment would not be an 

 expensive one and I confidently predict 

 that at the end of one month's experi- 

 ence he will heartily support me in 

 every claim I am making here in de- 

 fense of Pocahontas as a greenhouse 

 fuel and will find that the slight in- 

 crease in cost is more than offset by 

 increased efficiency. R. C. Cantelou. 



A GENERAL PUBFOSE HOUSE. 



I am building a greenhouse, 30x100 

 feet, with an uneven span. The eave 

 plate on the west side is about three 

 feet from the ground, with glass all 

 the way to the ground. The eave plate 

 on the east side is five feet from the 

 ground, with a continuous row of ven- 

 tilators, three feet wide, along the side, 

 and the rest of the side boarded. The 

 north end of the house will abut against 

 the boiler room. The house will be sup- 

 ported by a row of posts through the 

 center, with a wye running to the pur- 

 lins on each side. There will also be 

 a row of posts running straight up to 

 a purlin which will be two-thirds of 

 the way down the long side of the roof. 



Will you please plan the piping of 

 the house for me ? I expect to heat 

 with hot water and wish to grow a gen- 

 eral line of house and bedding plants 

 and a general line of cut flowers, not 

 including roses. I should like to have 

 a part of the house so arranged that I 

 can heat it to 60 degrees at night, so 

 as to hurry along lilies, etc. Where 

 can I propagate in this house f I shall 

 not have any benches, except what are 

 necessary to propagate on, this first 

 winter. Would it be at all practical to 

 use a steam boiler as a hot water 

 heater? I can get a second-hand steam 

 boiler for a fraction of what a new 

 heater would cost me. My location is 

 northeastern Ohio. V. S.
