Utility in Gardening and General Plan, 



WITH 



A Display of theGaEEN-HousE Plants 



AND 



Method of Culture. 



A Green-House, in gardening, is de- 

 figned as a Winter refidence and con- 

 fervatory for fuch tender exotic plants as are 

 natives of warm countries, and unable to en- 

 dure the open air of this climate in Winter, 

 requiring fhelter generally from Odober till 

 May, or beginning of June ; but do not need 

 afliilance of artificial heat, as is requifite for 

 the ftove or hot hcufe exotics, at leaft only 

 occafionally, in very rigorous frofls, when a 

 moderate fire-heat, by means of flues extend- 

 ing within the houfe, will be necefTary, fuf- 

 ficient to reiift the froil, and fometimes in very 

 raw cold foggy weather, to expel the damps. 



As to the requifite plan and conltrudlion of 

 a Green-Houfe, it may be firil necelTary to 

 remark, that its fuuation would be moil eli- 

 gible
