THE GOOSEBERRY. 63 



be estimated at 4s. per foot run, complete, without 

 the wall, of course. Thus a house sixty feet long 

 would cost 121. provided that you go first hand to work, 

 otherwise it may cost twice that sum ; but even then it 

 might be called cheap by some. But I guarantee that 

 it can be done well and glazed with 15 oz. glass, 20 by 18, 

 on my wind-and-water-tight vertical bar with plain 

 pressure clips. These are far better for glazing with- 

 out putty than the under clips, i.e. clips which are 

 nailed on cross bars, and then come under the laps, 

 and turn up over the glass ; the main difficulty is how 

 to replace a broken square, as no one can replace one 

 from the inside ; the whole row must be taken out to 

 put one in at the top or in the middle. 



Such a house costing 121. would hold ninety Goose- 

 berry trees in pots, which, after the fruit is gathered 

 (which would be by May, or perhaps before), might be re- 

 moved and plunged in the open ground for the summer, 

 kept well watered and encouraged to grow, and the house 

 used for growing ridge Cucumbers or dwarf Beans on 

 the bottom.
