THE VINERY. 327 
rally supplanted. The section of the peach-house at page 
333 will convey an idea of the usual configuration of the 
vinery. On the preceding page, Fig. 36 represents a sec- 
tion and a ground-plan of a curvilinear vinery (having a 
mush-room-house behind), heated by hot water. 
A vinery, with flues and- two furnaces, is generally fifty 
feet long, twelve or fourteen wide within, the height of the 
back wall being ten or twelve feet. Where there is only 
one surface, or where a hot-water apparatus is employed, 
the length of the house should not exceed thirty-five or 
forty feet. Small divisions are to be preferred; for where 
there is 2 considerable extent of glass, the cultivator, by 
applying his fires to the different divisions in succession, 
ean prolong the crop from May to December. The para- 
pet wall in front is commonly arched, or built on lintels, 
supported by stone pillars; so that the vines, which are 
planted inside the house, close by the parapet, may send 
abroad their roots in search of nutriment. Sometimes the 
vines are planted without, and introduced into the house 
by slanting apertures in the front wall; but the former 
method, where possible, is the more eligible. The trellis 
usel for training is generally formed of wires drawn across 
the rafters, at the distance of a foot from each other. Of
