CWe will write yoa a positive guarantee that PANTHER coal has every single 

 desirable feature of the best Pocahontais, except that it makes a little more smoke. 



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 15c and 20c lower than Pocahontas. Mine run 

 carries about (55 to 70% lump. It's cheaper than Pocahontas. Get our 

 prices. Write for Parcel Post sample. We twa PocihtRtas miacs also.

steam. Will you tell me what is the 

 best way to arrange the piping? The 

 houses are nine feet high from floor to 

 ridge pole. I have a fifteen horse-power 

 steam boiler and wish to carry a tem- 

 perature of at least 50 degrees, in this 

 Ohio climate. I am growing a general 

 run of bedding plants, so the tempera- 

 ture need not exceed 50 to 55 degrees. 

 The benches will all be raised. The 

 houses run east and west, with the 

 boiler room at the east end. Please let 

 me know how much pipe will be needed 

 and where it should be placed to get the 

 best results. C T. M. 



To heat a house 12x112 feet to 55 de- 

 grees, using steam heat, a 2-inch flow 

 pipe should be carried at a slight fall 

 a foot or a little more below the ridge 

 to the father end of the house, and 

 there connected with three or four 1%- 

 inch return pipes. While three returns 

 might answer for the middle house, it

would be economical of fuel to use four 

 returns in each of the other houses if 

 they are much exposed. Just how the 

 returns should be arranged will depend 

 upon the location of the benches, but as 

 a rule it is well to place a part of them 



on the walls and the others under the 

 benches.
