fo that in this Stove there is no Walk 

 made in the Front between the Bark- 

 pit and the Glaffes ; but the Incon- 

 veniency of watering the Plants, as 

 alfo of coming near thofe Plants 

 which are placed in the Front of 

 the Stove to clean chem, has, in fome 

 meafuie, brought them into Dif- 

 efteem, fo that few Perfons do now 

 build them, though the Expence is 

 much lefs than of the other Kind of 

 Stoves ; but of both thefe Stoves the 

 Figures and Defcriptions which are 

 hereafter exhibited, will be fufEcient 

 for any Perfon to build either of the 

 Sorts. 



One of thefe Stoves about the 

 Length of 25 Feet in the clear, 

 with the Pit fpr the Tan reaching 

 from End to End, and fix Feet and 

 an half wide, will contain about an 

 hundred Plants ; fo that whoever is 

 defirous to have this Fruit, may eafiiy 

 proportion their Stove to the Quan- 

 tity cf Fruit which they are willing 

 to have. 



But it will be alfo neceftary to 

 have a Bark-pit under a deep Frame, 

 in order to raife the yotfng Plants , 

 for in this Bed you mould plunge 

 the Suckers, when they are taken 

 from the old Plants, as alfo the 

 Crowns which come rom the Fruit ; 

 io that this Frame will be as a Nur- 

 fery to raife the young Plants to fup- 

 ply the Stove : but thefe Plants 

 Ihould not remain in thefe Frames 

 longer than tilt the Beginning of 

 November, unlefs the Frame have 

 Flues in it to warm the Air (in the 

 manner hereafter defcribed and figu- 

 red), which are very ufeful, as Nur- 

 feries, to keep the young Plants till 

 they are of a proper Size to pro- 

 duce Fruit; fo that you may keep 

 thefe cooler than the Stove ; which 

 may be every Autumn filled only 

 with beai ng Plants,whereby a much 



greater Quantity of Fruit may be 

 annually produced,than can be where 

 young and old Plants mult be croud- 

 ed into the fame Stove : but where 

 there are no Conveniencies of this 

 Kind, the young Plants, about the 

 Middle or Latter-end of October ; 

 mull be removed into the Stove, and, 

 being fmall, may be crouded in 

 amongll the larger Plants ; for fince 

 they will not grow much during the 

 Winter-feafon, they may be placed 

 very clofe together. The Beginning 

 of March you muft remove thefe 

 Plants out into the Hot-bed again, 

 which fhould be prepared a Fort- 

 night before, that the Tan may have 

 acquired a proper Heat : but you 

 fhould be careful, that the Tan be 

 not too hot ; for that might fcald 

 the Fibres of the Plants, if they are 

 fuddenly plunged therein. There- 

 fore, if you find the Bark too hot, 

 you mould not plunge thePots above 

 two or three Inches into the Tan, 

 letting- them remain fo until the 

 Heat of the Tan is a little abated, 

 when you fhould plunge the Pots 

 down to their Rims in the Bed. If 

 the Nights fhould continue cold after 

 thefe Plants are removed into the 

 Bed, you muft carefully cover the 

 Glafles with Mats ; otherwife, by 

 coming out of a warm Stove, they 

 may receive a fudden Check, which 

 wili greatly retard their Growth, 

 which mult be carefully avoided ; 

 becaufe the fooner the Plants are fet 

 growing in the Spring, the more 

 time they will have to gain Strength, 

 in order to produce large Fruit the 

 following Seafon. 



You fnould not plunge the Pots 

 too clofe together in this Frame ; but 

 allow them a proper Diftance, that 

 the lower Part of the Plants may in- 

 crease in Bulk ; for it is on this that 

 the Magnitude of the Fruit depends ;
