KROESCHELL BOILER FACTS 



Kroeschell Boiler Saves 35 Tons Coal 



"I bought a No. 7 boiler In I'.Ol. It takes care of 10,500 sq. feet of glass and could 

 take care of 5.000 more. Must :^tate tbat I am ii businoss for It year^ and have attended 

 to many boilers, but I must say for your boiler that it has given better satisfaction than 

 any other, being easier to fire up. and it is easier to keep the temperature with your boiler 

 in our houses than it is with any other. 



"I used 35 tons of coal less than 1 did with the boilers I had before. 1 can keep the 

 temperature to 75 to 80 dejrrees during the siverejt weather, if it is necessary to do so." 'i

water to the boiler. If hot water is to 

 be used for heating the house, three 

 21^-inch flow pipes and ten 2-inch re- 

 turns will be needed for 60 degrees, or 

 six returns for 50 degrees, in zero

DETROIT. 



The Market. 



The last week was good for every- 

 body and Thanksgiving business was 

 excellent, cleaning up all the mums, 

 roses, carnations and other good stock. 

 The Monday and Tuesday preceding 

 Thanksgiving found a large supply of 

 chrysanthemums coming into the mar- 

 ket, so that the wholesalers were think- 

 ing that they were to be flooded, but the 

 market took a turn, as it always does 

 for this holiday, and at the last minute 

 it was a hard tussle to get enough good 

 stock to fill all the orders. Large mums 

 were scarce Thanksgiving eve. Koses 

 sold well and there was a shortage of 

 the pink and red, so that a good many 

 orders for these colors had to be can- 

 celed. Violets sold well and there was 

 no surplus. Pompon mums sold out 

 nicely, but at medium prices. The new 

 pompon, Helen H. Newberry, was in 

 good demand. The wholesaler handling 

 this stock reports sending out over 600 

 bunches of it. This pompon is still 

 coming into the market and the report 

 from the growers is that it can be held 

 as late as Christmas. Of valley there 

 was just enough to meet all demands. 

 Carnations were fine and sold out well, 

 the top price on these being $4 per hun- 

 dred. This market is being well taken 

 care of in this line. Paper "Whites and 

 Konians were to be had, but there was 

 no rush to get this stock. Potted mum 

 plants were to be had, but did not sell 

 so well as the growers expected. Stevia 

 is to be had and has sold well to date. 

 Greens of all kinds are plentiful and 

 the supply of fancy ferns and galax is 

 <?qual to all demands. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas F. Browne has been a heavy 

 shipper to this market, bringing in a 

 load of from 500 to 1,000 mums every 

 day since the season opened. He also 

 has had some fine pompon plants, which 

 met with ready sale. 



Chas. Plumb is busy these days get- 

 ting ready for Christmas and has his 

 new packing shed about ready. He 

 has a fine lot of poinsettias in pans. 



Albert Stahelin, of Bedford, has his 

 carnations looking fine and will have 

 a big cut for Christmas. The stock 



More Heating Surface 



and less water space than 

 is contained in any other 

 boiler. (Note the many 

 flues set close together. ) 

 This is one reason why 

 the users of the 



''Superior Standard" Greenhouse Boilers 



find them perfectly satisfactory. We frequently receive re-orders 

 from florists who have tested these boilers thoroughly and found 

 them even " Superior" to our claims.
