XXVI. An Account of a new kind of Protecting Frame to be 

 used in forcing Asparagus, Sea Kail, $c. in the open ground. In 

 a Letter to the Assistant Secretary. By Mr. John Dick, 



a M. H. s. 



Read November 2, 1830. 



Sir, 



I take the liberty of submitting to the Horticultural Society 

 of London the accompanying Plans of economical Forcing Frames, 

 which appear to me to be better adapted to the purpose than any 

 with which I am acquainted. 



As they will best be understood from a short description, I will 

 first explain their construction, and then state my mode of using 

 them. 



Figure 1. is a plan of a frame intended for forcing Seakail, Rhu- 

 barb, or any plants grown in rows in the open garden.
