and a half in the Front, and ano- 

 ther of the flime Width in the Back, 

 tor the more conveniently palfmg 

 round the Plants to water them, 

 and that the Air may freely circu- 

 late about them. In diipoiirig the 

 Plants, the taliell fl^souM be plac'd 

 backward, and the fmallefl in Front, 

 £o that there wiil not be Occalion 

 for more than live or lix Shelves 

 in Height at mofl i but the Scaffold 

 fhould be fo contriv'd, that there 

 may be two Shelves in Breadth laid 

 upon every Rife whenever there 

 may be Occalion for it, which will 

 fave a deal of Trouble in difpoling 

 of the Plants. 



In the Ercftion of thefe Siovesy 

 it will be of great Service to join 

 them all together, with only Glals 

 Partitions between them, (as was 

 before obferv'd j) and where feveral 

 ot thefe Stoves and Greenhoujes are 

 requir'd in one Garden, then it will 

 be very proper to have the Green- 

 hoiife in the Middle, and the Stoves 

 at each End, either in the Manner 

 diredled in the Plan of the Green- 

 hoHJe exhibited in that Article, or 

 carry'd on in one ftrait Front : And 

 in the Contrivance ot thefe it may 

 be (o order 'd, that upon opening 

 an Iron Regulator plac'd at the End 

 of the Flue of the Stove, and Hop- 

 ing another plac'd at the Entrance 

 of the back Flue, the Smoak may 

 be made to pafs thro' ihe Green- 

 hotife in extream hard Frofl, which 

 wiil be fufficient to prevent its ever 

 freezing in the Houfc: For want 

 of which Contrivance, it is hardly 

 polTible to keep out the FroH: m 

 very fevere Winters. 



By this Contrivance in the Stru- 

 (fture of thefe Houfes, a Perfon 

 may pafs from one to the other of 

 them without going into the open 

 Air j which, bolides the Plcafure to 

 the Owner, is aUb of great Ufe,

be»:au{e there will be no Occaflon 

 of making a Back-way into each 

 of them, which otherwife muft be, 

 beciufe the Front Glaffes of the 

 Stoves fhould not be open'd in cold 

 Weather, if- it can poffibly be 

 avoided on aiiy Account, becaule 

 the c\jld Air milling in, will greatly 

 prejuiiice the very tender Plants. 



But betides the Stoves here de- 

 fcrib'dy and the Green-houfe, it will 

 be very necefTary to have a Glafs- 

 Cafe or two, where-ever there are 

 great Colleftions of Plants. Thefe 

 may be built exadly in the Manner 

 already defcrib'd for the Stoves, with 

 upright GlalTes in Front, and Hoping 

 Glailesover the Top o-f them, which 

 fhould run within four Feet of the 

 Back of the Houfe. The Height, 

 Depth, and other Dimcnlions fhould 

 be conformable to that of th^ Stoves y 

 which will make a Regularity in the 

 Building. 1 hele may be plac'd at 

 the End of the Range on each Hand 

 beyond tht Stoves ^^^xxd if there be 

 a Flue carry'd along under the Floor 

 ot each, ivhich may be open'd in 

 fevere Froft, (in the manner already 

 directed for that under the Green- 

 houfe) and the Smoak of the ad- 

 joining Stove made to pafs off 

 through thefe, it will fave a great 

 deal of Labour, and prevent the 

 Frofl from ever en: ering the Houfe, 

 be the Winter ever fo fevere : But 

 the upper Glaffes of thefe Houfes 

 ihould have either Shutters to cover 

 them, or elfe Tarpawlins to let 

 down over them in frofty Weather i 

 and if there is a Contrivance to 

 cover the upright Glaifes in Frofl", 

 either with Mats, Shutters, or Tar- 

 pawlins, it will be- of great Ufe in 

 Winter, otherwife the Flue mufl 

 be open'd when the Frofb comes on, 

 which fliould not be done but upon 

 extraordinary Occaiions ; becaufe 

 the Defign of thefe Houfes is, to
