HOUSES BEST ADAPTED FOR GROWING GRAPES 2,

 off a mild heat, whereas the steam seems harsh and fiery. 



In installing the piping to give the desired temperature it is much better 

 to overpipe a house than to underpipe it, but this need not overheat the house, 

 for, under most conditions, the desired temperature can be easily maintained. 



This represents the ^ruuiid plan In] three cumpartments, e.ca span house, with shit walk 

 in the center, fur Grape I'urcing — early, midseason and late — which, for ordinary private use, 

 should be sufficient. Still, if desired, these compartments may be extended to any length according 

 to demands, although I would not advocate having the grapery more than 25 feet in width. 

 Then, by having the vines planted each side of the house, it will allow space, for training up the 

 permanent rods on each side, of 2^ or 25 feet, which is a sufficient length. Three compartments 

 are absolutely necessary where a continuous supply is desired — say, from May ist to January 

 1st. Neither would there be anything gained by having more, as this would be found to cover 

 the season thoroughly. The same plan w-ould be ideal for a Peach house, only have the walk 

 around the sides instead of in the center, and plant the trees'crosswlse of the house, using trellises 

 for that purpose, about 6 feet apart.
