The Florists' Review 



July 4, 1912. 



A Steady 

 Pressure 



will always 

 be main- 

 tained in 

 voar steam pipes, no matter 

 how the pressure at the boiler 

 fluctuates, if you equip your 

 main lines with these valves. 

 Carry 40 or 60 pounds pressure 

 on the boiler, set the 



Hughson 

 Regulating Valve 



to carry 6 or 10 pounds on the 

 line and you will always have a 

 reserve in case of a sudden drop 

 in temperature. This valve 

 saves both fuel and worry. Ask 

 for catalogue and particuJars.

use of a generator it is possible to heat 

 the water considerably above the boil- 

 ing point. So much depends upon the 

 construction of the boiler that a definite 

 reply cannot be given as to whether or 

 not it will withstand the use of a gen- 

 erator, although it should be used with 

 safety upon any ordinary boiler that is 

 in good condition. Ordinarily the 

 wrought-iron or steel boilers are made to 

 stand more pressure than the cast-iron 

 boilers. 



COULD NOT HEAT THE HOUSE. 



After a cyclone had passed through 

 this part of New Hampshire last fall, 

 and cleaned us out, we bought a 

 second-hand greenhouse, 20x65, with 

 14x16 glass and 11-foot bars. It is an 

 iron-frame house of Hitchings make, 

 with 700 feet of 4-inch pipe and a 

 No. 17 Hitchings boiler. It was late 

 before we got it in running order; in 

 fact, it was too late to get it thor- 

 oughly banked up, but it was in fair 

 shape. The man from whom we bought 

 it claimed that the boiler and seven 

 runs of pipe should heat the house to 

 60 degrees in zero weather. We put 

 two flows and two returns on each side, 

 under the benches, but on the coldest 

 nights we failed to keep the tempera- 

 ture above 38 degrees, though we had a 

 good fire in the boiler. 



Now, we should like to find out 

 whether we have made any mistake in 

 the piping, or what the trouble may be. 

 We have a good cellar under the pot- 

 ting room, at the east end. The 

 pipes run on the grade from the west 

 end and drop about five feet to the 

 boiler. The boiler is in the north side 

 of the cellar, and the south side lines 

 of pipe connect with one 4-inch flow, 

 returning separately across the house 

 and into the boiler. Is this the point 

 where the trouble is caused! Can the 

 one flow feed the two pipes satisfac- 

 torily? We are in an exposed posi- 

 tion and a temperature of 38 degrees is 

 too near the danger point to suit us. 



KROESCHELL BOILERS 



ARE BETTER THAN CAST IRON BOILERS 



WHICH DO YOU WANT? 



CAST IRON BOILERS-FOOL ECONOMY (false ratings, fuel waste, danger of break- 

 downs, dealers' profits), OR

 boiler pits, no dealors' profits). 



The KROESCHELL BOILER 

 has the Highest Standard of 

 HEATING VALUES.

KROESCHELL BOILERS 



Fires Twice During^ Nig>ht in Cold- 

 est Weather; Kroeschell Boil- 

 er Far Better Tlian Cast 

 Iron Boilers. 



With your No. 14 boiler I am heating 

 27,000 sq. ft. of glass, but have no doubt 

 this boiler would take care of 37,000 sq. ft. 

 We have not had the least bit of trouble to 

 maintain proper temperatures. In very cold 

 weather I Are twice during the night. I had 

 two cast Iron boilers before but yours are far 

 better. Last winter I heated 17,000 sq. ft. 

 of glass with my small boiler, your No. 7, 

 maintaining a temperature of 50° when out- 

 side temperature was 5° above "zero (the 

 regular rating of No. 7 Iwiler without Gen- 

 erator, is 15,000 sq. ft. of glass) with the 

 Kroeschell piping system in connection with 

 the Kroeschell Generator. This piping sys- 

 tem and the Generator are entirely satisfac- 

 tory. I take pleasure in recommending the 

 system and boilers to any one. 



ANTON J. PAULY, Attica, N. Y. 



Kroeschell Boiler Gives Perfect 

 Satisfaction. 



I win say that I am very well pleased with 

 the Kroeschell boiler which I purchased 5 

 years ago. It has given perfect satisfaction 

 to this date. 



A. W. BELCHER, Winthrop, Mass. 



The Kroeschell is a Coal Saver 



In regard to the Kroeschell Boiler will say 

 that we are well satisfied, as It heats quickly and 

 also is a coal saver. 



H. KEITSCH & SON., Buffalo, N. Y. 



Get a Kroeschell— It Gives 

 Excellent Satisfaction. 



Your favor of the 17th Inst, received and 

 In reply will state that the Kroeschell Bros. 

 Boiler is the best on earth. It gives ex- 

 cellent satisfaction. I have run their No. 10 

 boiler now for 5 years and It is as good as 

 new. I would suggest that you purchase 

 their boiler with shaker grate and Generator 

 and you will not be sorry. Then follow their 

 instructions as to the care of same, and you 

 win have a friend that will do the business. 

 I most heartily recommend the Kroeschell 

 Boiler above all others.

Kroeschell tioiler— Half the Coal 

 and Half the Work. 



Your No. 13 Boiler Is carrying 25,000 sq. 

 ft. of glass, and I can keep it at 60° in the 

 coldest weather without any trouble. I have 

 three other types of boilers also, heating a 

 range of 25,000 sq. ft. of glass, but the No. 

 13 Kroeschell Boiler only takes half the coal 

 and half the work to get the same results. 

 J. G. FRISZ, Vlncennes, Ind. 



P. S.— Mr. J. G. Frlsz, of Vlncennes, Ind., 

 has the largest range of glass In Indiana de- 

 voted to vegetable forcing. 



Kroeschell Boiler Durable. 



Have 20,000 sq. ft. of glass. Can keep 60° 

 in coldest weather. Have one boiler 15 years, 

 only expense one set of flues. Kroeschell 

 Boiler is so satisfactory that I do not care 

 to try any other.
