HOTHOUSE BUILDERS. 



THE NOBILITY and GENTRYabout to erect Hor- 

 ticultural Buildings, or fix Hot-water Apparatus, will findi 



at our Horticultural Establish- 

 ment and Hothouse Works,. 

 King's Road, Chelsea, an exten- 

 sive variety of Hothouses, Green- 

 houses, Conservatories, JPits, &c v 

 erected, and in full operation, 

 combining all modern improve- 

 ments, so that a lady or gentleman can select the description of 

 House best adapted for every required purpose. 

 The HOT-WATER APPARATUS, which passes through afl 



the Houses and Pits 

 affording both top 

 and bottom heat, is 

 in constant opera*- 

 tion and particularly 

 worthy of attention. 

 Many of the Houses and Pits are of wide and lofty dimensions, 

 and together equal in length 1000 feet. They are all effectually 

 heated by one boiler, which, during the severe winter months 



does not cost in labour and fuel 

 more than 3s. 8d. per day, and 

 the apparatus is so arranged 

 that each House or Pit may bo 

 heated separately and to the 

 required temperature. The 

 splendid collections of Stove 

 and Greenhouse Plants are also in the highest state of cultiva- 

 tion, and for sale at very low prices. Also a fine collection of 

 rong Grape Vines in pots, from eyes, all the best sorts. 

 Plans, Models and Estimates of Horticultural Buildings; also 

 Catalogues of Plants, Vines, Seeds, &c, forwarded on application 

 to John- Weeks & C o. f King's Road, Chelsea, London. 



HEATING BY HOT WATER. 



JOHN WEEKS & Co., King's Road, Chelsea, Hor- 



f J tfcnltural Builder*) and Hot Water Apparatus Manufacturers. 



At our two Establishments horticultural science is fully carried 



out in all its branches. 

 The accompanying 

 sketch represents our 

 Improved Boiler. These 

 Boilers are very power- 

 ful, durable, and econo- 

 mical. The whole of our 

 extensive nursery estab- 

 lishment is heated by 

 one hotter, measuring 

 only 5 ft. by 3 ft. 6 in. 

 The Houses heated con- 

 sist of forcing-houses oi 

 various descriptions, 

 many of them are of 

 wide and lofty dimen- 

 sions, in length 1000 ft. 

 and exposing to the at- 

 mosphere upwards of 

 16,000 superficial feet 

 of glass. During the late 

 severe winter it only 

 cost us 8*. per day for 

 fuel, and we had more 

 than a sufficient com- 

 mand of heat. Any 

 numberofforcing-lio*is«s 



can be heated by one»J 

 our Baiters, and anv part regulated at pleasure. Plans, Modeler 

 and Estimates ot Horticultural Buildings, or Heating by H« 



Water, forwarded on application.
