ll the I'lau for ri'idaeinj: the return 

 is eorroetly understood, the now re- 

 turn jdiie \vould run aeross tho ends 

 of the hous(>s Just below the lovel of 

 the coils, and two to three t'eot above 

 the lev(l of the water in the boiler, 

 while a^ now arraiii^ed it is slij:htly 

 below the watei' level. There is no rea- 

 son whatever why the proposed change 

 would interfere with the return of 

 tln' water tn llie boiler. On the con- 

 trary, it should be f<iuml Indpful. as 

 there will bi' mi barking up of tho 

 water in the relurii>. The return can 

 lir didppc'd td the lldiir df the boiler 

 nioin and enter the boiler I'ldiii below,

AN ADDITION FOR ROSES. 



W'c have two e\en-s|iaii houses, Isx 

 7."i fi'et, cdiinocted, with a shed aloii;: 

 the wi'st end their entire widtli. Each 

 house lias two 2'. ..-inch Hows, feeding; 

 nine I'-inch returns. The boiler is 

 tapped for twd :i imdi llovvs and two 

 ;; inch returns. We prupdse td add one 

 house for roses, south of the other 

 houses, atid wish to maintain u tenipera 

 ture of fill decrees in this Ohio climate. 

 How would yon make connection at 

 the boiler to feed the lunises ]iroporly .' 

 AVo thought of running both Hows to a 

 header and then connecting tho three 

 .".inch flows to this, one supplying each 

 house. Will one 3-inch return take 

 care of the two south houses.' How 

 would you pijie tho n(>\v house, and als(j 

 a Ui-fo'ot section at the west end, to be 

 used as an entrance or temporary plant 

 room, where retailing will be done.' 



Wo want this n(>w part to bo heated 

 in good shajio. as the system works 

 lineiv in tho two present bouses and we 

 do liot want to take any chances next 

 winter, when the house is full of roses. 

 We should rather liave a little more 

 pijiing than is absolutely necessary.

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 Boflers 



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. 



Why not ask for full particulars today? A postal to us will bring a prompt reply.
