The constantly increasing use of oil for fuel in greenhouses brings many questions to the fore among florists. In addition to the oft-recurring queries, "How does it work?" "What is the cost?" "Where can I see it in opera- tion!" one often hears also the question, "How is oil burning especially adapted to this industry?" That the use of oil fuel is especially desirable in greenhouses is a fact which the writer will not attempt to cover herein; he will, rather, try to cover specific inquiries which come to the mind of the greenhouse owner. It must be borne in mind, to begin with, that the installation of a fuel oil burning system in a greenhouse calls for the exercise of the most careful and intelligent, scien- tific work, for the reason that the flo- rist's stock ig a particularly delicate and perishable one, its welfare depend- ing greatly upon the overcoming of ad- verse and suddenly changing weather conditions, necessitating a heating sys- tem which is capable of caring for loads which at times may be of a greatly fluc- tuating nature. It will be seen that the problem is a quite different one from that which would be encountered in a manufaoturing establishment, for in- stance, where a steady load of average constancy would be required month after month. The idea is greatly prevalent that hot oil produces more heat than oil of a low temperature. This is not, however, the reason for heating the oil; primarily, it is heated to lower the viscosity, allow- ing a free flow and requiring less steam for atomizing. Types of Burners. Some discussion has been carried on with reference to the comparative mer- its of steam-atomized and air-atomized burners. We can do no better with rela- tion to this subject than to quote from an excellent standard work on &q
