Fig. 26. " Camellia" House, for amateurs and others. 



The cost of erecting such a house at present prices 

 (1879) would be about seven hundred dollars, built of the 

 best material and in the most substantial manner, with 

 brick foundation, and heated with boiler and hot water 

 pipes. 



This house is particularly suitable for the growth of 

 the Camellia, on account of having both top and side 



ventilation.
