RENDLE S PATENT PLANT PROTECTORS. 



197 



The many ways in which these Protectors might be turned to account will at 

 once suggest themselves, and, in fact, they are made various in size, so as to be 

 adapted to various uses. One adaptation is that of the ground vinery, which Mr. 



Eendle telle us he can sell in quantities of 1,000 feet, at about Is. per foot, includ- 

 ing glass. This is shown in the annexed figure. In the same way, by adopting 

 protectors of convenient size, strawberries, salading, peas, and indeed all kitchen- 

 garden crops requiring shelter, can be grown, or if necessary when grown, protected 





from cold. They are equally adapted for flowers, or for raising seedlings or 

 cuttings, and they may be used either on the ground surface or partially sunk, 

 either close at the sides, or with a brick left out at intervals — pigeon-holed 

 — to secure more abundant ventilation.
