230 FRAMES FOR FORCING F ROT-TREES* 



and ends, made of strong deal boards five or six 

 feet high in the back by two feet in the front, both 

 ends corresponding ; in width about eight feet, and 

 the length for one tree ten feet, and so on for 

 two or more trees, at ten feet apart, each frame 

 to have three lights, or sloping glass sashes, with 

 rafters across the frame for them to slide on, 

 and in the back a pannel made to slide, for 

 entrance. 



The tan- pit below may be formed either of 

 brick-work or post and planking about three 

 feet deep, the trees are planted in the font, out- 

 side, on a raised border, the stem of the tree 

 inclining to the frame, and a piece cut out of 

 the frame to let in the stem, the head admitted 

 within, and trained up about eight or ten inches 

 under the glasses ; the bark bed to be renewed 

 at the commencement of each forcing season : 

 and by this plan also, peaches and nectarines 

 will come to good perfection early, but I may 

 observe, it is not very convenient, neither is it 

 very generally adopted.
