OF GARDENING. 
There muft be but a fmall Thicknefs of 
Wall within Side the Flues, that the Heat 
may eafily get into the Room; but. this muft 
be very well wrought, for as the Smoak has 
fo many Returns da fo crooked a Paffage, it 
will be very ready to burft through the “Wall 
where it is fo thin; and this would be more 
mifchievous to the Plants than any other Ac- 
cident. For the reft, the fame Rules are to be 
obferved in finifhing, that we directed under 
the Article of the Greén- houfe. 
The Back Wall and the fmall Roof, as alfo 
the two Ends and the Stack of Flues, fhould 
be covered with Stucco, and painted white. This 
{mall Roof, which extends only over the Flues 
and the Back Walk, ftrengthens the Building, 
gives good Place for the Frame-work, and 
faves fo much Glafs where it would be of no 
Service; and this white Colour will be reflected 
back upon the Plants to their great Advantage ; 
and when the Stove is fhut up, as it muft be 
in Winter during very bad Weather, it makes 
a very little Light anfwer the Putpofe. 
From the back of the Roof fhould be hung 
a Covering of coarfe Cloth, which will’ roll 
up or be let down by Pullies,; and the fame 
from the Frame of the Front Glaffes. Both 
thefe may be kept drawn entirely up in good 
Weather; but in bad they may be Jet to 
fall down over the floping Top and Front, 
to keep off too violent Storms of Hail, and 
Rain; and the worft Frofts.

Of GLASSED BEDS. 
T the two Ends of the Stove. it will be 
very proper to erect two Beds for the 
raifing Exotics from Seed, and. the giving 
other Plants of the tenderer. Kinds fo much 
of their firft Growth, as will make them fit 
Thefe. may be of a middle 
Kind between the abfolute Bark-bed and the 
Stove; or there may be -{mall Stoves which 
the fame Fire may heat. = 
They may have fmall upright ‘Glalies in 
Front, or the floping Glaffes at the Top may 
be brought down to the Foot-Wall: all this 
is at the Pleafure of the Proprietor. | 
Their Height fhould be fuch as to forma 
reoular Part of the entire Building; and the Heat 
they will require from the Fire of the Stove will 
be very little, becaufe being {mall and clofe, 
with the Help of the Fermentation of the Tan, 
they have a warm Air without any farther Af- 
fiftance; or, as in this Defign the Fire-places 
are fituated near the two Ends of the Stove, 
it is eafy to give this additional Heat. . 
The beft Method is by carrying a Flue 
from, the Fire-place of the Stove under the 
Floor; but this muft be fo made that it can 
in general be kept clos’d, and only opened

when there is Occafion. 
In the Place of thefe fome build Gh&- 
cafes. for thofe Plants which require Shelter, 
during our Winter, but no additional Heat; 
and this is alfo a very natural and proper 
Appendage in regard, to the Uniformity of 
the Building; though the Stove is of very 
little Ufe in this Cafe to the Plants. 
As we have feverer Winters than ordinary 
fome Years, and as thefe Buildings will be thus 
very near the Fireplaces of the Stove on each: 
it will be proper to make a Flue 
alfo under the Floor of each of thefe, to com- 
municate with the Fireplace, but to be kept 
ftopt at all Times, unlefs when the Severity 
of the Weather renders it neceffary to open 
it, to give fome Check to the extraordinary 
Violence of the Froft. 
_ Thefe Buildings fhould be made with upright 
Fronts, and floping Roofs of Glafs, with a 
fmall folid Roof behind, juft as the Stoves are 
built, and they muft in the fame Manner have 
Cloths to let down upon them by Way of 
. Defence in. fevere. Weather; -for Glafs is but 
a poor Shelter in hard Winters. 
IV. 
Cautions in the building of STOVES. 
Hough we think lightly of thofe who affect 
_ to tell in what Manner the Bricklayer 
is to execute his Bufinefs, which his meaneft 
Labourer underftands better than the beft of 
thefe Directors; yet there are Cautions in fo 
nice a Work, of which he muft not take it amifs 
No. 54 
that we remind him. : 
In.the firft Place. As every thing will be 
kept continually dry in the Stove, there muft 
be great Care to prevent the Occafions of 
Fire: and no Part of the Wood-work muft be 
brought any where near the Fire-place.
