pipe to carry the returns from a house 

 21x50 feet, and the question is asked 

 whether it is large enough to carry the 

 return water from another house of 

 the same size. Neither the letter nor 

 the blile print indicates whether steam 

 or hot water is used, except that from 

 the size of the return pipe it is probably 

 hot water. In either case the return 

 is sufficient for both houses. 



To heat the new greenhouse to 60 

 degrees, run a 2Mj-inch flow pipe on 

 each of the plates, and place eight 2- 

 inch pipes under the east bench and 

 six on the west wall posts. 



If the south end is much exposed, it 

 might be well to run a third flow un- 

 der the ridge, and with it feed four 

 2-inch pipes, two of which can be car- 

 ried in either direction around to the 

 north end of the house. In addition to 

 these returns, there should be flye on 

 the east and three on the west side. 



A PENNSYLVANIA ADDITION. 



I intend to build one house, 22x150, 

 this summer, building it at the north 

 side of my present houses and taking 

 out the present side wall. Please tell 

 me how much 1%-inch pipe will be re- 

 quired to carry a temperature of 60 de- 

 grees in zero weather and what size of 

 supply pipe would be suitable 



U. G. H. 



One of the simplest methods of piping 

 a house such as described is to run a 

 2%-inch flow pipe two feet below the 

 ridge and use nine 1%-ineh returns. A 

 part of the returns can be under the 

 benches, or in the walks if solid beds 

 are used, but most of them should be 

 on the walls. In case the end of the 

 house is much exposed, it will be well 

 to start the wall coils at the middle of 

 the farther end of the house and carry 

 them along the walls back to the end 

 of the house nearest the boiler.

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY ABOUT 



KROESCHELL BOILERS 



Cast Iron Boiler Cracked 

 in Two Years 



"We have a No. 4 Kroeschell Boiler. It 

 takes care of 7000 sq. ft. of glass; It would 

 take care of twice that amount. 



I first had a new cast iron boiler which 

 lasted two years, when it cracked to piece*. 

 The second was a second-hand boiler. 



I consider your boiler the best paying in- 

 vestment I ever made. 



You can refer anyone to us." 



MARYSVILLB FLORAL CO.. 

 . MarysviUe, Ohio. 



Caat Iron Cannot be Compared 

 with Kroeschell 



"We bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1904. It 

 takes care of 5000 sq. ft. of glass, and we 

 could add 2000 more. We are very well satis- 

 fied. We used a cast iron boiler before we 

 had yours. It cannot be compared with the 

 Kroeschell Boiler. Your boiler has certainly 

 a great capacity for heating water." 



HALL & ROBINSON. 

 Montreal, Canada. 



Kroeschell Better Than Cast Iron 



"I bought a No. 6 Boiler in 1903. It has 

 now 10,000 sq. ft. of elass, and we could add 

 :t:iOO more. This ii anead of five or six cast 

 iron boilers which I have used. I saved |S0 

 per season on the coal bill." 



M. C. WARD, Qulncy, Mass. 



"I bought a No. 4 Boiler In 1902. Has 7000 

 sq. ft. of glass; could add 2000 more. It Is 

 perfectly satisfactory. Would keep only 

 Kroeschell Boiler, would not have a cast 

 iron boiler for a gift." 



GEO. ENGEL. Xenia, Ohio. 



Mr. Engel has increased his plant and 

 ordered*another No. 4 Kroeschell. 



Better Than Cast Iron 



"We bought a No. 1 Boiler In 1902. It is 

 very satisfactory. We had several cast iron 

 boilers, but like yours much better." 



E. FERRAND & SONS, Detroit. Mich. 



Cost of Heating One-Half Less 

 Than With Cast Iron Boilers 



"I bought a No. 3 Boiler in 1901. We had a 

 corrugated cast iron fire box boiler and a sec- 

 tional cast iron boiler before we bought yours 

 in 1901. The cost of the beating with your 

 boiler is one-half less than it was with my 

 cast iron boilers. Your No. 8 Boiler, which 

 we bought recently of you, is not being run 

 to Its capacity." 



WM. GEENEN, Kimberly, Wis. 



Has enlarged place and installed another 

 No. 6 Kroeschell. 



Kroeschell vs. Cast Iron 



"I have one of your new 1910 model 

 Kroeschell Boilers, and same has proven very 

 satisfactory. We have no tronble to keep 

 temperatures in the coldest weather. We 

 fire once or twice during the day, and once 

 at night, and have had the best satisfaction 

 1 have ever experienced In a boiler. Formerly 

 I had two cast iron boilers; ope cracked and 

 I took both of these boilers out. My coal bill 

 with the caat iron boilers ran from $195 to 

 $207 per season during the past seven years. 

 This year, with your boiler and soft coal, m.v 

 coal bill was only $103, and I still have some 

 coal left. Your boiler is the best and cheap 

 est on the market, not alone for the price, but 

 also In fuel saving. I am very glad that you 

 are so well known in BufTalo, N. Y. I have 

 never heard anything but praise, in which 

 I join heartily. Wishing you every success, 

 I remain,
