Hie practical gardener. 



[Jan. 



Having tlius fixed the ui>- 

 rights (/i7i) and bearers (1 n) 

 at such a height as the 

 building will admit, pro- 

 ceed to form the shelves 

 (o, o) with boards an inch 

 and half thick, observing 

 to place a board eight 

 inches broad, and one inch 

 thick, in front of each 

 shelf, to support the front 

 of the beds. Fasten this 

 board to the front of the 

 standards, that the width 

 of the beds may not be 

 diminished. The shelves 

 being finished, the next 

 thing to be done is the 

 construction of the flue {p) 

 in the ground plan, which 

 should commence at the 

 end (/) of the house next 

 to the door, run parallel 

 to the shelves the whole 

 length of the house, and 

 return to the fire-place, 

 where the chimney should 

 be built. The sides 

 ot the flue inside to be the 

 height of four bricks laid 

 flatways, and six inches 

 wide, which will make the 

 width of the flues fifteen 

 inches from outside to out- 

 side, and leave a cavity 

 on each side betwixt the 

 flue and the walls that 

 are under the shelves, and 

 one ix y) up the middle.
