Kroeschell Boiler Better Than Tubular Boilers 



or Cast Iron Boilers. 



Have used upright boiler, tubular boiler, and cast iron bniler. The Kroeschell Boiler 

 heats up better and easier tban aor ottier boiler we liave ever tiad anytblD? to do with. It we 

 ever buy anotlier it will cerialnly bo a Kroeschell. Very truly yours, 



^ -. - .;^ -I Pool,k'& Publlant. Washington Court Houje, Ohio.^ 



Try the Kroeschell first, it's ahead of them all. 



I have had eight or tea other types of boilers. The Kroeschell is the best I have ever used. 

 Your boiler beats the water very quick; almost as fast as steam. .Yours very truly,

1,250 feet would be enough for it, while 

 the radiation now in the houses is 2,000 

 square feet. Under these conditions 

 econoniii-al results should not be ex- 

 pected. 



• An even greater discrepancy is no- 

 ticeable when the amount of radiation 

 in the different houses is compared. The 

 carnation house has fifty per cent more 

 radiation than the rose house, although 

 it is only two feet wider, and this dif- 

 ference in width is more than balanced 

 by the higher temperature required for 

 roses. 



At the most only eight runs are re- 

 quired in the carnation house, and seven 

 would answer for chrysanthemums, 

 while to carry the rose house at 60 de- 

 grees at least ten runs of 2-inch pipe 

 should be used. If the top of the heater 

 is well belov/ the level of the returns, 

 fairly good results can be secured by 

 using three of the 2-inch pipes as flows 

 in each house, and the others as re- 

 turns, but it will be even more satisfac- 

 tory if two 21/^ -inch pipes are used as 

 flows and five, six and eight 2-inch re- 

 turns are used respectively in the chrys- 

 anthemum, carnation and rose houses.

PELARGONIUMS FOB SFBINO. 



I have some pansy pelargoniums 

 which I want to hold for Memorial day 

 if I can, but they are already in bud. 

 They are in 4-inch pots and are very 

 bushy. Can you tell me how I can hold, 

 them back? L. C. 



If the plants are already showing 

 flower buds, they are rather early for 

 Memorial day. It would have been bet- 

 ter to have pinched the plants back a 

 short time ago. You can grow these 

 plants cool; in fact, the cooler they are 

 grown, the better they are. Give them 

 a cold house; 40 degrees at night is 

 ample. Pinch back the flowering slioots. 

 Remove all flowers and give the jilants 

 a shift into 5-inch pots. This is only 

 a small shift, but it will tone the plants 

 up considerably. In the event of the 

 plants appearing at all late, you could 

 give them a few degrees more heat 

 after Easter. Grow them as cool, airy 

 and light as possible, and be sure to 

 look out for green aphis. A weekly 

 fumigation will keep them in check.
