next, or any subsequent Number of your Gardener's Maga-

zine. 



wanting to complete the number ; though of this I am not 

 quite certain, as some old plants have died this Winter, and 

 1 have not yet had an opportunity of examining whether I 

 have others to replace them. My heath-house forms the 

 southern extremity of a range of houses, extending in all to 

 somewhat more than 1 00 feet, and fronts the south. {Jig. 27.) It 

 has abundance of light, as it is lighted on all sides, with the 

 exception of about nine or ten feet of a back wall, of the 

 height of nine feet. On the north I have a conservatory, fifty 

 feet in length, by eighteen in breadth, (a) Next to it is a vinery, 

 twelve feet wide, and eighteen or so in length (b): then a small 

 stove (c), and adjoining it the heath-house, {d) The form in 

 front and at the extremities is somewhat of the following de- 

 scription. {Jig. 27.) The glass in front in the conservatory is 



four feet and a half in height, and rests upon hewn stone, and 

 is, with the stone, about eight feet from the surface. The 

 whole height is rather more than fifteen feet. The back wall 

 is of brick, of the same height as the front. The sashes, 

 springing from both, meet in the centre, at the height of 

 nearly sixteen feet from the surface. If you are acquainted 

 with any person here who could take a sketch of the whole, 

 you shall be most welcome to obtain it at any time. 



I am much pleased with your Magazine, and think it con- 

 tains a great deal of very useful information. If I have any 

 information at any future time to communicate, I shall send 

 it to you with much pleasure. 



I am, &c.
