the drainage is not good, it must be made so. 

 Dig a trench two feet wide through the centre for 

 a walk. Make an excavation several feet square 

 at one end, to serve for the furnace or stove, and 

 also for the entrance. To heat the beds, carry the 

 smoke around the outside of the bed in flues which 

 are almost entirely below the surface of the ground, 

 the smoke finally passing out of the chimney. 

 Near (and for some distance from) the furnace, 

 build the flue of brick to prevent fire, but the rest 

 construct of boards. In summer, the sash can be 

 removed, and in winter it would be better to apply 

 a mulch and cover the frame with boards rather 

 than the sash, as it would be more apt to give an 

 equal temperature. 



Arrange the beds on each side of the walk, and 

 plant as has been above described for temporary 

 beds in forcing-houses. It will be remembered 

 that where so little earth is allowed to each plant 

 it is necessary to manure often and heavily. 



PUMPING OUTFIT. There has already been 

 given a general outline of apparatus for water 

 supply and distribution; and here I repeat the
