The Foundation of Green- 

 house Success Is— Even 

 Distributed Warmth 

 — Greenhouse Heating 



is a science in itself and our 63 years of heating experience has taught us that 

 hot water is the one form of heat that gives the proper amount of "genial 

 summer warmth" without scorching or drying out the delicate plants. As hot 

 water also stores large quantities of heat to be 

 given off gradually, (in case the fire should be 

 neglected or allowed to go out) this prevents a 

 sudden fall in temperature, and consequent pos- 

 sible injury to delicate plants from frost.
