•thir 



We here give a 

 ground plan and end 

 section of a span- 

 roofed house, suit- 

 able for the culti-

 Stove Plants. It is 

 fifty feet long, twenty 

 feet wide, and twelve 

 feet high, and con- 

 tains a table next the 

 outer wall, on each 

 side and end, a walk 

 three feet wide, and 

 a centre table, which 

 has a second table, 

 one foot higher, run- 

 ning down its middle : 

 these tables should be 

 of slate, with iron 

 supports, while the 

 floor and path are best 

 concreted with good 

 Portland cement, 



mixed with sand, 

 which makes a sub- 

 stantial and comfort- 

 able floor and path- 

 way, and is easily 

 kept clean, harbours 

 no insects, and stands 

 a great amount of 

 wear and tear. The
