The Review is glad to answer in this 

 department any inquiries concerning the 

 heating of greenhouses. Give all the 

 facts. 



Smith, Lineaweavee & Co., Philadel- 

 phia, report the troubles in the bitumi- 

 nous coal field make it difficult to fill 

 orders. Some work is being done, but not 

 enough to keep up with the demand. In 

 the anthracite region, steaming sizes of 

 coal are active, domestic sizes inactive. 

 The collieries are working two days each 

 week. 



MODERN HEATING SYSTEMS. 



The heating plant of the modern 

 greenhouse establishment is not the crude 

 affair of early days, for florists have 

 come to appreciate that, with the pos- 

 sible exception of labor, fuel is the most 

 important expense incidental to the busi- 

 ness. Thereare greenhouse establish- 

 ments for''wmch the fuel bill is from 

 $25,000 to $50,000 a year. With such 

 an outgo, a small percentage of saving 

 justifies a considerable investment in im- 

 proved appliances. 



Since return traps and pressure regu- 

 lators came onto the market, steam has 

 come into quite general use for heating 

 the large plants, and with it have come 

 mechanical stokers, fuel conveyors, re- 

 frigerating plants and dynamos for gen- 

 erating electric current, so that the en- 

 gine-room of an up-to-date establishment 

 resembles the trolley company's power 

 station more than it does the stoke hole 

 of the old-time greenhouse. 



But with the development of steam 

 for greenhouse heating, the hot water 

 specialists have not been idle. Where 

 it once was thought impracticable to use 

 hot water in runs exceeding 100 feet, 

 greenhouses 500 feet long and in large

''DETROIT" AUTOMATIC RETURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been using two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity Syttem 

 and find they keep the pipe clear of conden- 

 sation, therefore making the return do as 

 much as the flow. Wo are able to heat with 

 less number of pipe than formerly and keep 

 the houses far more even in temperature." 



"Detroit" Traps will do the same for you.
