A QUICK HEATER"^ 



saves many dollars in fuel consumption. The SUPERIOR STANDARD contains more heating 



surface and less water space than any other boiler. That's why it is the most economical green- 

 house boiler on the market. The Superior Standard is a boiler built to last. . r

SUPERIOR NACmNE & BOILER WORKS, 



840-8S0 W. Superior Street, 



CHICAGO, ILL. 



it is not necessary to carry a pressure 

 to exceed one pound, and usually a pres- ^ 

 sure with the atmosphere or zero is 

 sufficient. It does not work back on 

 the engine, so as to consume any addi- 

 tional power, as would be the case with 

 the ordina-ry system, which would re- 

 quire from five to eight pounds of pres 

 sure to create a circulation. 



This system was also installed in 

 1906 in twenty-two houses, 285 feet 

 long for the Dunbar & Hopkins Co., 

 Ashtabula, O. There are over eleven 

 miles of 1 14 -inch pipe in the heating 

 system of this range. In 1909 the same 

 firm installed this same system in a new 

 range containing fully as much radia- 

 tion, and either of these ranges can be 

 heated with atmospheric pressure in the 

 steam lines during average winter 

 weather. With such a vacuum system 

 it is possible to convey steam long dis 

 tances. Instead of forcing the steam 

 this distance and through all of the cir- 

 culation and piping, the vacuum on the 

 return pipe really draws the steam to 

 every part of the system without any 

 power or pressure at the head end of 

 the system. 



Simonds Heating & Specialty Co. 



Hartford, Conn. — At the last meeting 

 of the Connecticut Horticultural Soci- 

 ety held in the county building, an in- 

 teresting paper on "Coldframes and 

 Hotbeds" was read by Niel Nelson, hor- 

 ticulturist for the Hartford Eetreat. 

 Mr. Nelson was awarded a certificate 

 of merit for an exhibit of fine giant 

 snapdragons. Alfred Cebelius, gardener 

 for Prof. M. W. Jacobus, received a cer- 

 tificate for roses. Chairman John F. 

 Hubs had charge of the meeting.

 that is tbe beat reoo mrnenda-

 If you are your own night man, 

 find out just how the temperature 

 has varied while you slept: it has 

 been worth much money to others 

 and may be to you.
