DESIGN FOR A REMOVEABLE GREENHOUSE. 



It has lor.g been the wish of the Editor 

 of the Floeal Wokid to present such of 

 his readers as require it with a plan of 

 a moveable greenhouse or conservatory, 

 which may be easily taken down and as 

 easily re-erected upon a fresh site — a 

 matter of importance to those lovers of 

 gardening who have limited tenures only. 



inches wide, by four inches in thickness, 

 the four sides of which are held together 

 at the angles by means of irons screwed 

 on with square-headed screws (Fig. 9 a). 

 No pegs or nails are to be driven into any 

 of the mortise tenons, but in every part use, 

 in lieu thereof, either the screws Fig. 9 a or 

 Fig. 9 b. The studs are mortised into the

Elevation. 



The pressure on the pages of the work, 

 owiug to the numerous summer exhibi- 

 tions, has deferred the consideration of the 

 subject till now. However, here it is at 

 last. 



The accompanying elevation shows a 

 detached building set upon a raised plat- 

 form of earth, to give it a greater apparent 

 elevation, with a gravel walk surrounding 

 it, and two steps placed in the grass slope, 

 by which to ascend the platform. The

 taken to pieces, may be easily packed up

sill, and have a substance of four and a-half 

 inches by four inches ; and these again 

 are mortised into the rafter-plate. (See 

 section Fig. 11.) Between these studs 

 (see section Fig. 10) the sashes, b, are set 

 lip, and to keep them steadily m their 

 places splines, e, are braded on to the studs. 

 These sashes may be exactly like those 

 used in house building, without, of course, 

 the accompaniment of boxes and weights. 

 Upon the front of the stud a half-circular 

 moulding, c, may be braded to give a de- 

 gree of lightness to the appearance. Also
