Last year (first year produced) we got seven Florists that were 

 using Pocahontas to try Panther. Six of them are still using Panther. 

 Freight rate to Western points is 16c and 2(ic lower than Pocahontas. 

 Minerun carries about 65 to 70% lump. Get our prices. Write for

Greenhouse Heating. 



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 Eeview 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. 



USE OF SECOin)-HAND PIPE. 



We . are building a greenhouse and 

 contemplate using second-hand gas pipe 

 for the heating coils. I have been in- 

 formed that pipe that has once been 

 used for gas will rust out in a short 

 time. Is this correct? Any advice you 

 can give me will be appreciated. O. 



The condition of the pipe is not 

 stated, but at best it will not be as dur- 

 able as new pipe and if it has been used 

 underground its durability will be 

 greatly lessened. It will be well in 

 either case to coat the pipes, inside and 

 outside, with mineral paint, free from 

 tar. If the pipe is in bad condition, its 

 use in the heating coils would not be 

 advisable. F, K. 



THE COAL MABKET. 



In the modern greenhouse establish- 

 ment the fir^s never go out, but the 

 average small grower, especially if his 

 crop is carnations, loses no time in let- 

 ting the artificial heat go down as early 

 in the eptiuM ^^ nature comes to his 

 assistance. But no sooner than the fires

^nr Many satisfied patrons say that our Maryd Number

 for heating greenhouses. Abrams Creek coal is about 

 as near Emokeless as a Bituminous coal can be.

are out "the question comes up of the 

 fuel supply for the next season. It is 

 not safe for a grower whose require- 

 ments. gJe large to letuthe approach of 

 frost find him without full bunkers. If 

 a man burns no more than a few wagon 

 loads a month, he can trust to some 

 local retail source of Bupply;'but if he 

 needs forty or fifty tons a day in cold 



weather, as many growers do, the hand- 

 to-mouth policy will not do. The big 

 grower must have a supply to run him 

 weeks constantly on hand. That he has 

 a month's winter supply on hand May
