The GARt>ENER's New Director. 163 



Mr. Adam Taylor having lately publified a Treatife on the 

 rearing of the Pine -apple in Frames ^ by the help of Dung 

 only, lue Jball introduce it here ; not fo much from a De- 

 fire to give Variety, as that he afferts the Fruit is in much 

 higher Perfe^ion than from the Stove. — We (hall take 

 ■up this Writer i?nmediately ijjith his fir fi Dire^ions, ha- 

 ving already defcnhed the Fruits, and pointed out the 

 Kinds that fuit befl to mr Clime. 



BEfore I proceed to the neceflary management of the 

 plants, it may be proper to treat of the conflruc- 

 tion of our new frame, which very much refembles that 

 which Sir fames Jujlice directs for ripening fruits by 

 the help of dung only, in inclofures of glazed frames, 

 and ftrong boards. 



Firft, fink the ground for your foundation eighteen 

 inches, thirteen feet fix inches in length, and feven feet 

 fix inches wide, to be paved with brick or ftone, and 

 inclofed with a nine-inch wall, three feet and a half 

 high, or a wooden frame of the fame height; obferv- 

 ing that the front of your frame is to face the fouth. A 

 glazed frame two feet fix inches high, made in fafhes, for 

 Aiding backward and forward, is to be iet upon the brick- 

 work in front, for the readier giving air and water to th§ 

 plants; the ends alfo are to be glaz-ed, and to open for 

 the fame purpofe, and to have a rife from the front to the 

 back, of one foot fix inches. The back part of the frame 

 is to be of deal board an inch thick, to rife four feet a- 

 bove the brick-work, the whole to be covered with 

 glazed falhes like the flove-frame, and conflrufted in 

 the farrie manner, to carry off ihc fleam. This glazed 

 roof is to be occafionally covered wiih a fail-cloth faflcn- 

 ed on a roll, for the convenience of letting down and 

 taking up.
