670 Horticultural Buildings for a Kitchen-Garden 



(Ji h) occupy the remainder of the ground, except two small 

 vineries (i i), and the succession pine-stove (k), 60 ft. long by 

 1 7 ft. broad ; with the vine-border (I), tool-shed (m), seed- 

 room (w), and a basin for water (o), supplied by a forcing- 

 pump, which likewise supplies the mansion. There are a 

 fruiting pine-stove (p) with a peach-house (q) on the same 

 range, and the sheds for pots and wheelbarrows at the back ; 

 a border in front of the pine-stove and peach-house (r) ; a 

 coal-house (5) ; a cart-road into the park (t) ; a slip on the east, 

 planted with gooseberries and currants (u) ; an herb-garden 

 on the west (v) ; a filbert ground (w) ; and walks leading to 

 the pleasure-ground (<r). The melon-ground (3/) is situated 

 near the stable-yard, with a small pit (z), heated by fire, for 

 either melons or pines.

Art. X. Plans and Sections of the Horticultural Buildings for a 

 Kitchen- Garden of Three Acres and a half within the Walls. By 

 Juvenis Olitor. 



Sir, 



Encouraged by the insertion of my plan for a garden 

 establishment (Vol. IV. p. 215.), I am induced to send you 

 the plans of some of the buildings in it, as I proposed. I shall 

 not enter into the minor details of each structure; for if I were 

 to give a full explanation of every thing requisite in the erec- 

 tion of any one of the houses or pits (such as the shutters, 

 boilers, pulleys, &c), it would occupy too much room in your 

 most useful publication, perhaps to the exclusion of the com- 

 munications of abler correspondents. I shall give the ground 

 plan and sections of every house and pit with as brief an ex- 

 planation as I possibly can, which by the references given will 

 be sufficiently understood by every class of your readers. 



The plans (Jigs. 130. to 138.) which I now submit to you 

 are arranged to be heated by hot water, which I am practically 

 convinced is a very simple and economical mode of heating 

 forcing-houses ; but its merits, compared with steam or fire 

 heat, I shall discuss in some future communication. In heating 

 houses by steam or hot water it has generally been the prac- 

 tice, after heating the boiler, to convey the smoke into the 

 chimney close by the boiler, by which I have always thought 

 that a great quantity of heat was lost to the house, and a 

 greater consumption of fuel than necessary required to keep
