SILVER MEDAL 
HORSE-SHOE BOILER. 
FTVfflS BOILER, which 
JL gained the Silver Medal (First 
Prize) in Class 1, at the Royal 
Horticultural Society’s Show at 
South Kensington last year, has 
been further perfected by the 
addition of two patented improve¬ 
ments, the first being a combination 
of a tilting bottom grate and a hot 
blast into furnace, the second an 
automatic valve acting under any 
conditions, by means of which the 
boiler regulates its own combustion, 
equally avoiding a needless con¬ 
sumption of fuel or the slightest 
risk of the fire going out. 
As now constructed, this boiler 
will challenge the world on each of 
the three essentials of a good boiler, 
viz., simplicity of construction and 
action, economy in consumption of 
fuel, and maintenance of an equal 
temperature in the pipes through a 
long period without attention. 
No brickwork’required; builds into the end of a greenhouse; 
front only outside.
