DESCRIPTION OF A PLANT STOVE. 



If the building be detached from any other, it will be necessary to 

 provide separate means for warming it, and for this purpose, nothing

 by seven feet long, (Fig. 1.) Through this 

 to a greenhouse, seven feet square, (Fig 2.) 

 And beyond this, descending two steps to 

 the hothouse or Plant Stove, four feet wide,

which case the potting-room and plant-stove 



need "not form any part of the plan — or a 



portion of the three may be left out ; say 



one side of each, leaving the remaining side 



and the gangway, which would, no doubt,
