will the Charge of Fuel be verv con- 

 iiderabie ; becaufe there will be no 

 NccelTity of making Fires more than 

 turee or four Months ; beginning 

 about the Middle of January, and 

 ending by the Beginning of June, 

 when there will be no want of Fires, 

 if the Glalfes are clofe thut every 

 Kight, or m bad Weather : for half 

 an Hour's Sun ihining on the Glaifes 

 at this Seafon, will furficiently warm 

 the Air incioitd in the Chiles, for 

 the Growth ol any of our European. 

 Fru:ts. 



There are (ome Perfons who plant 

 Vines, and otner Fruit trees, by the 

 Sides o. Stovep, and draw fome of 

 their Branches into the Stove, in or- 

 der to obtain early Fruit ; but this is 

 by no means right, becaufe where 

 the Stove is defigrfd for the Ana- 

 na's, the Air mult be kept much 

 warmer for them, than is required 

 for any of the other Fruits ; lo that 

 they can never fucceed well toge- 

 ther; for when there is a fufiicient 

 Quantity of Air admitted, to pro- 

 mote the Growth of the other Fruit, 

 the Ananas are ftarwd for want of 

 proper Heat ; and fo, on the con- 

 trary, when the Stove is kept up to 

 the proper Heat for the Anana's, it 

 will be too hot for Fruit : and it will 

 alfo be proper to have the Vines on 

 a particular Wall by themfelve?, be- 

 caufe thefe require to have a greater 

 Share of Air admitted to them, when 

 they begin to moot, than Peaches 

 or Nectarines ; fo that it is by much 

 the better Method to have them fe- 

 parate. 



The ordinary Height of thefe 

 Hot-walls is about ten Feet, which 

 Will be funicitnc for any of thofe 

 Sorts of Fruits which are generally 

 forced,; for by this the Trees are 

 commonly weakened in their Growth, 

 io that they will not grow fo vigo- 

 roufly as thole which are always ex- 



pofed to the open Air ; and where 

 there is not a Quantity of Walling 

 planted fufiicient to let one Part reft 

 every other Year, the Trees will ne- 

 ver be very healthy, and will la ft but 

 a few Years. The Quantity of Wall- 

 ing to produce early Fruit for a mid- 

 dling Family, cannot be lefs than 

 eighty or one hundred Feet in 

 Length ; therefore where a Perfon 

 is defirous to have the Fruit in Per- 

 fection, and the Trees to continue 

 in a good Condition many Years, 

 there lhould be three times thisQuan- 

 tity of Walling built ; fo that by di- 

 viding it into three Parts, there will 

 be two Years for the Trees to reco- 

 ver their Vigour between the Times 

 of their being fore'd ; whereby a 

 greater Quantity of Bearing-wood 

 may be obtain'd, and the Fruit will 

 be fairer, and in larger Quantities, 

 than when they are fore'd every 

 other Year ; and as the GlalTes may, 

 becontriv'd fo as to move from one 

 to the other, the Expence of build- 

 ing the Walls fo much longer, will 

 not be very great, becaufe the Frames 

 and GlalTes will be the fame as for 

 one Year's Fruit. 



The Foundations of thefe Walls 

 lhould be made four Bricks and an 

 half thick, in order to fupport the 

 Flues ; otherwife, if Part of them reft 

 on Brick-work, and the other on 

 the Ground, they will fettle un- 

 equally, and foon be out of Order; 

 for where - ever there happen any 

 Cracks in the Flues, thro' which the 

 Smoke can make its Efcape, it will 

 prevent their Drawing ; and if the 

 Smoke gets within the Glaifes, it 

 will greatly injure the Fru;t. This 

 Thicknefs of Wall need not be con- 

 tinued more than fix Inches above 

 the Ground, where lhould be the 

 Foundation of the firtt Flue; which 

 will raile it above the Damps of 

 the Farth : then the Walls may be
