have a handle, for the purpose of removing it as circumstances 
may require. Glass cases of this sort might be in every garden, 
and will be extremely useful for protecting all sorts of crops, and 
can be procured at a very trifling expense.” Thus far Mr. 
M'Intosh. Now, although we are proceeding on precisely the 
same principles as Mr. M’Intosh, (but with a much greater ex- 
tension of the objects sought) we have to differ in some of the 
details. For instance, although Mr. M'lntosh’s drill-cover may 
suit early Pease, yet it would scarcely be capacious enough for 
forwarding Cauliflowers, or for forcing Sea-kale and Asparagus, 
besides many other things which we shall hereafter suggest. 
The mere union of two sides, thus A is not the very best form, 
although certainly the most simple; and we think we shall be 
justified in our proposed course of alteration, by the much 
greater capacity we trust, and general eligibility, which our 
improved drill-covers will be found to possess. 
We now give a sketch, which, with the accompanying des- 
cription, will thoroughly explain the matter. 
Now, as we propose to cultivate many things in double drills, 
especially for early work, it will be readily seen how much more 
room will be afforded by the adoption of two upright sides, be- 
beneafh the span roof, although only a few inches in height. 
Indeed, in Mr. M'Intosh’s drill cover it is only possible to cul- 
tivate a single row with any chance of success ; and it scarcely 
seems worth while to institute such proceedings, without a 
prospect of producing what might be considered a remunerating 
crop. And now for the construction of the protector we have 
sketched. Like the other protectors before described, it would 
be good policy to have them made in two sets; the one opaque, 
the other containing a small amount of glass on each side of the 
roof. They ought to be in lengths of about five feet, in order 
that lady gardeners, who are daily becoming more numerous 
and ardent in horticultural pursuits, may be enabled to shift 
them with facility from one part of the garden to another.
