Air, whereas when there are flo- 

 ping Glafles at the Top, which run 

 within threer Feet of the Back of 

 the Houfe, thefe, by being drawn 

 down in hot Weather, will let in 

 perpendicular Air to all the Plants j 

 and of hov7 much Service this is 

 to all Sorts of Plants, every one 

 who has had Opportunity of ob- 

 ferving the Growth of Plants in a 

 Stove, will eafily judge: For v/hen 

 Plants are plac'd under Cover of a 

 Ceiling, they always turn them- 

 felves toward the Air and Light, 

 and thereby grow crooked j and if 

 in order to preferve them (Irait, 

 they are turn'd every Week, they 

 will neverthelefs grow weak, and 

 look pale and fickiy, like a Perfon 

 Ihut up in a Dungeon j for which 

 Keafons I am fure whoever has 

 made Trial of both Sorts of Stoves, 

 will readily join with me to re- 

 commend the Model of the Bark- 

 Stove for every Purpofe. 



As to the farther Contrivance of 

 this Stove, it will be neceflary to 

 obferve the Temper of the Place, 

 whether the Situation be dry or 

 weti if it be dry, then the Floor 

 need not be rais'd above two Feet 

 above the Level of the Ground i 

 but if it be wet, it will be proper 

 to raiie it three Feet, becaufe as 

 thefe Flues are to be carry'd under 

 the Floor, fo when thc7 are made 

 under, or clofe upon the Surface 

 of the Ground, they will raife a 

 Damp, nor will the Flues draw fo 

 well as when they are more elevated. 

 The Furnace of this Stove may be 

 cither plac'd at one End of the Houfe, 

 or at the Back-part thereof, accord- 

 ing to the Conveniency of the 

 Building. This muil be made ac- 

 cording to the Fuel intended to 

 burn, which, it for Coals or Wood, 

 may be made according to the com- 

 mon Mechod for Coppers, bat only

much larger, becaufe aS the Fire i^ 

 to be continu'd in the Night chiefly; 

 fo if there is not Room ro coritairj 

 a great Quantity of Fuel, it v/ilt 

 occalion a great deal of Trouble in 

 tending upon the Fire in the Night; 

 which ihould be avoided as much 

 as poflible, becaufe whenever the 

 Trouble is made very great or dif- 

 ficult, and the Perfon who is iri' 

 trufted with the Care of it has not 

 a very great Affedtion for the Thing, 

 and is withal not very careful, there 

 will be great Hazard of the Firs 

 being neglected, which in a little 

 Time would be of dangerous Con- 

 fequence to the Plants: But if the 

 Fuel intended be Turf, then the 

 Contrivance of the Furnace may be 

 the fame as for the Bark-Stove al- 

 ready mention'd. 



In this Stove there fhould be i 

 Stand or Scaffold credted for placing 

 Shelves above each other ni the 

 Manner annex'd, that the Plants may 



be difpos'd above each other, Co as 

 to make a handfome Appearance in 

 the Houfe i but thefe Shelves fliOuid 

 be made moveable, fb as to be rais'd 

 or funk, according to the various 

 Heights of the Plants, otherwife it 

 will be very troublefdme to raife or 

 fink every particular Plant accord- 

 ing to their Heights, every Year as 

 they advance. . 



This Stand or Scaffold fhould be 

 plac'd in the Middle of the Houfe, 

 leaving a PaiTage about two Feet ,
