Art. I. Some Account of a Green-house erected the past Summer 

 in the Garden of Mr. S. Sweetser, Cambridgeport ; accompanied 

 with Engravings illustrating the same, and the method of Heating 

 by Hot Water. By the Conductors. 



Agreeably to onr intentions, it is with much pleasure that 

 we now present to our readers an account, accompanied 

 with a description and engravinfTS, of a neat, beautiful, and 

 very convenient green-house erected by Mr. Sweetser in his 

 garden the past summer, and which has been finished but a 

 few weeks, and the plants just moved into their places for 

 the season. To his kindness in communicating to us, thus

 are greatly indebted ; and we have no doubt our readers 

 will be equally so with ourselves. We are confident that 

 this house will be found one of the most complete of the 

 kind that has ever been erected in our vicinity. It is jast 

 the size that any person wotdd wish who has but a few hours 

 to devote to the cultivation of flowers and plants ; and the 

 cost of the erection is so trifling, compared with what is 

 generally estimated by those who are unacquainted with 

 gardening, and have but little information on the subject, 

 that we are certain it will serve as a model to build by for 

 every lover of horticulture who is desirous of having at- 

 tached to his garden or dwelling, that most truly desirable 

 of modern additions, through our long and dreary winters, — 

 a green-house. 



In the construction of green-houses, hot-houses, graperies, 

 &c., there is yet much information wanted ; from this want,
