H OTH OUSE BUI LDERS. 



rpHE NOBTLITY and GENTRYabout to erect Hor- 



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



at our Horticultural Establish- 

 ment and Hothouse Works, 

 King's Road, Chelsea, an exten- 

 sive variety of Hothouses, Green- 

 houses, Conservatories, Pits, &c, 

 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 all 



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 35. Sd. per day, and 

 the apparatus is so arranged 

 that each House or Pit may be 

 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 irery low prices. Also a fine collection of 

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



Plans, Models, and Estimates of Horticultural Buildings ; also 

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

 to John Weeks & Co., King's Road. Chelsea, London. 



HEATING BY HOT WATER. 



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



*J ticultural Builders 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 I 

 extensive nursery estab- 

 lishment is heated by 

 one boiler, measuring 

 only 5 ft. by 3 ft. 6 in. 

 The Houses heated con- 

 sist of forcing-houses of 

 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 3s. per day for 

 fuel, and we had more 

 than a sufficient com- 

 mand of heat. Any 

 numberof forcing-houses 



d -r , can be heated by one of 



our Boilers, and any part regulated at pleasure. Plans, Models, 



and Estimates of Horticultural Buildings, or Heating by Hot 

 Water, torwarded on application. ^
