BY HER 



MAJESTY'S 



ROYAL LETTERS 

 PATENT. 



E WING'S PATENT GLASS WALLS. 

 —One of the greatest defects in British gardening has 

 hitherto been the uncertainty of securing a crop of fruit on 

 common brick or stone walls, owing to the variableness and 

 humidity of the climate. This is now remedied by substituting 

 hollow Glass Walls, by means of which not only* will the 

 young wood in autumn be fully matured, but the blossom- 

 will be completely protected from the frosts and biting winds 

 of spring, and a climate secured equal to that of southern 

 Europe. 



These wall* are particularly adapted to the growing of 

 Grapes, Peaches, Nectarines, Apricots, Granges, Lemons, and 

 the finer &orts of Pears and Pi urns, producing fruit equal to 

 that or France or Italy at no more expense than usually 

 attending trees upon a common * tone or brick wall. 



Glass Walls must eventually not only take the place of brick 

 and stone wall*, but will, in a great measure, supersede the 

 present mode of erecting hothouses, from their cheapness at 

 first cost, the great economy of fuel and healing apparatus, 

 the small sp e they occupy, and their peculiar elegant 

 appearance. They are also admirably adapted for climbing 

 Exotics, and a variety of other purposes. 



The highest authorities on Horticultural matters in this 

 country nave expressed their unqualified approbation of these 

 designs, at the head of whom is Dr. Lindlet, a^d for whose 

 Opinion the public are referred to the leading columns of the 

 Oartfeners' Chronicle of December 6 ; also of Robert Marnock, 

 Esq., Ourutorof the Royal Botanic Gardens, Regent Vpark, 

 London, in the leading columns of the Gardeners' and Farmers' 

 Journal-, of Decemb r 20. Ihe patentee having made arrange- 

 ments with some of the largest firms of iron-founders in the 

 kingdom, and also with one of the most extensive British 

 •Glass manufacturers ; and from the well-known respectability 

 of thooo gentlemen who have become Agents, feels confident 

 that he furnishes a sufficient guarantee that all orders in con- 

 nection with (be Glass Walls will be promptly and efficiently 

 ca " Itd " ut in any part of England, Scotldnd, or Ir*laud.
