ThcW^ckly Florists' Review^ 



April 4, 1912. 



WHAT THE USERS SAY 



Would Not Have a Cast Iron Boiler for a Gift Since 



I Tried the Kroeschell 



Have no trouble to keep up temperaturea in my houses with the 

 No. 10 Kroeschell Boiler. The boiler has given entire satisfaction. 

 We had a cast iron sectional boiler— I woi3dn't have one for a gift 

 any more. Loxjis Otto, Neenah, Wis.

Greenhouse Heating. 



Coal mining is largely suspended for 

 the present. An agreement has been 

 made between the western operators of 

 soft coal mines and their men which, if 

 approved by the vote of the unions, will 

 cause an early resumption of work. In 

 the eastern anthracite fields there is no 

 prospect of a settlement. 



GBEENHOUSE AND RESIDENCE. 



Kindly advise me how to heat a green- 

 house, 17x40 feet, six feet to the eaves, 

 with three feet of glass, and eleven 

 feet to the ridge. The house runs east 

 and west. The temperature required 

 will be 50 degrees at night and 65 

 degrees in the daytime, in zero weather. 

 There will be three benches. How 

 many pipes should there be, and of what 

 sizet Should they be under the benches 

 or above? I expect to grow carnations 

 and bedding plants. I also expect to 

 heat my dwelling, which is connected 

 with the northeast corner of the green- 

 house and stands at the north side of 

 it. The dwelling has about 225 feet of 

 radiation. "What size of boiler will be 

 needed to heat botht I expect to use 

 the Ideal boiler. My location is north- 

 western Ohio. E. L. 



For heating a carnation house, 17x40 

 feet, having three feet of glass in the 

 side walls, with hot water, it will be 

 well to use three 2-inch flow pipes and 

 nine 2-inch returns. One flow could be 

 upon each of the plates and the other 

 under the ridge. The returns should 

 be in three coils of three pipes each, 

 one of which should be under each 

 of the benches. The boiler for heating 

 the greenhouse and dwelling should 

 have a rating of 650 to 700 square 

 feet. 



THE WATEB BOILS OVEB. 



Will you kindly inform me where 

 the trouble lies in my heating system? 

 I have not been able to maintain much 

 more than 40 degrees at night during 

 the cold spell we have had, when the 

 outside temperature sometimes went 

 down to 20 degrees below zero. The 



'Tor Quick Results It Has Them All Beat" 



So says H. ROTH, Florist at La Fayette, Ind. Here is his letter :

Gentlemen: In reply to yours of the 4th Inst., will say that your No. 4 holler has (?lven entire 

 satisfaction. I consider this boiler a srreat Improvement over the other style hollers In my place, of 

 which I have two. For quick results it has th«m all bea>. I have never been so well sat- 

 isfied with any change I have made as I have been with the change from the other style boiler to the 

 Superior. Anyone wanting to see this holler can see it working on my place, and I will only be too 

 glad to show them. Yours respectfully, [Signed] H. Roth.
