Where There Is Condeosation 



— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in 

 steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per- 

 fectly — return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that 

 impulse — write now.

Greenhouse Heating. 



The trade has come through the winter 

 in good shape insofar as the fuel ques- 

 tion goes. An open winter has gone 

 quite some ways toward making up for 

 the higher price of coal. There has been 

 no serious car shortage or interruption 

 of transportation, such as endangered 

 many plants the season before. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 asK The Review to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



THE NEW COAL YEAE. 



The opening of the new coal year 

 finds the anthracite trade in a quiet 

 condition, the report being that buyers 

 are abnormally slow in placing orders 

 for April shipment. In the bituminous 

 market those buy«rs and sellers who 

 have been at loggerheads over the com- 

 ing year's contract prices are not get- 

 ting together rapidly and there is still 

 a lot of business uncovered. Some con- 

 tracts are being closed every day, of 

 course, and perhaps a few more were 

 entered into last week than during the 

 weeks immediately preceding, as a cer- 

 tain number of consumers were not 

 willing to let their old contracts run out 

 without making new arrangements. But 

 the stimulation from this cause was 

 moderate and as a whole the situation 

 remains about as it was during the lat- 

 ter half of March. 



WHERE THE DOLLABS GO. 



' ' The growers ' dollars go up the 

 chimney," was the substance of the 

 way Walter Thompson put it in a re- 

 cent address before the Portland, Ore., 

 Florists' Society. "In the hot water 

 systems we have high and low pressure, 

 circulation by gravity, forced and ac- 

 celerated circulation. In the steam 

 systems we have high and low pressure 

 atid vacuum systems, with the conden- 

 sation returned to the boiler by gravity, 

 traps or pumps. Electric heat has been

MT Many satisfied patrons say that our Maryd Nunaber 

 ^^ One Buckwheat (Anthracite) and Abrams Creek 

 Minerun (Bituminous) coals are particularly suitable 

 for heating Greenhouses. Abrams Creek coal is about 

 as near smokeless as a Bituminous coal can be.

 extensively on account of the high cost 

 of current. All of these systems can 

 be used with success, but it is the func- 

 tion of the heating engineer to decide 

 on the system best suited for the con- 

 ditions. The heating plant, in my esti- 

 mation, is the most important part of
