Greenhouse Heating. 



If you do not have sheds for a large 

 supply of fuel, dump the coal in the 

 open and cover the pile with slack; the 

 deterioration will be slight. 



Those interested in greenhouse heat- 

 ing should note the view down the center 

 walk of Plant B of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., Morton Grove, 111., printed on an- 

 other page of this issue. 



OVERHAUL THE SYSTEM. 



This is the time to overhaul the heat- 

 ing system. Even in the great estab- 

 lishments where men are employed for 

 the special purpose of operating the 

 heating apparatus, summer idleness and 

 other causes make necessary that the 

 heating system be thoroughly gone over 

 at this time of year. Further delay 

 will bring the changes at a date when 

 fires are likely to be called for any 

 night. 



In these days of wonderfully ingen- 

 ious devices for the management of 

 the heating medium there is no need 

 for ineffective or inefficient systems. 

 Hardly ever is there a system so seri- 

 ously "sick" that it is not possible 

 to make it work efficiently by the aid 

 of one or more of the devices which 

 control or force circulation. 



No one will dispute that the best 

 system is the simplest system — the one 

 which is so installed that it works nat- 

 urally, without any other aid than the 

 forces generated with the boiler. But 

 it unfortunately is the fact that hy 

 far the larger number of greenhouse 

 establishments have grown from small 

 beginnings. They are, in fact, a patch- 

 work. When the first house or houses 

 were erected, foresight was not keen 

 enough to discern the annual need for 

 additional glass. Year by year houses 

 have been added to the first ones built, 

 until some of the establishments are 

 almost like little cities built on the

circle plan, with houses of almost every 

 aspect. With new branches grafted 

 upon the heating system, and the sys- 

 tem itself not originally planned for 

 additions, it is little wonder that the 

 makers of devices to aid or compel or 

 control circulation find this field a 

 flourishing one for them. 



It often pays to overhaul a heating 

 plant from the beginning and thus re- 

 duce operating expenses, but usually 

 slight changes made in summer will 

 serve to make old systems fairly effi- 

 cient. 



Now 48 the. time to get busy on such 

 work. ■'•■■'"' . 



NATUBAL GAS FOE HEATING. 



Near this Illinois town some natural 

 gas has been found — two wells of it — 

 and the owners are going to put it all 

 over the town. About 100 houses have 

 it already. It will be 25 cents per
