CHAPTER IX. 



PINES. 



SECTION L 



Oft the ConJlruElion of the Pinery. 



THAT few thoroughly underftand the 

 cultivation of this mod admirable 

 fruit, is demonflrated by its being difcon- 

 tinued in many places where it has been 

 tried for years. Some have alfo given up 

 the cultivation of Pines, becaufe of the ex- 

 pence attending it in refpecS of fuel : the 

 wafte of which is greatly occafioned by 

 the conftru&ion of the fire-place and flues ; 

 which are generally ill adapted to the burn- 

 ing of wood or turf, without working the 

 houfe unfteadily, and giving the perfou who 

 attends them much .trouble. 



Such a furnace, as is reprefented by 

 Fig. i. Plate V. is better calculated for 

 burning wood .or turf than any other I 



know.
