CHAPTER VI. 
THE CAMELLIA HOUSE. 
Tuts house is on a scale of one-sixteenth of an inch to 
one foot,! so that it is very easy to construct, and will 
cost but little. It is necessary that a camellia house 
should run north and south, and thus avoid the strong 
rays of the sun, as this flower will not bear the full 
power of the sun. It will lose its colour in the foliage 
Fic. 23.—CAMELLIA HOUSE, 
Reference to house.—N, north; s, south; aaaaaaa, sliding sashes; B, set of 
— pee cane eae made to open by cords and rack gearing. The walls to 
when fully exposed to the sun; for this reason the 
house in which Camellias are grown should face the 
west or north-west if only one roof; but for trade 
purposes, as for cut flowers, I recommend a span roof— 
one facing east and the other west. Such a house 
should be glazed with bars not further apart than 12 
inches and 14 thick by 44 wide, z.e. 13+ 44 rafters; 
1 This house is 40 feet long; 22 feet wide: 7 feet high at eaves.
