ON 1= H E MANAGEMENT • 
b'lt there is yet another important ohjed that demands our 
conOderation, which is, a further advantage that may be gain~ 
ed by furniflaing the back wall. In fuch Hot-houfe, as the 
fubjoined plan reprefents, there is a fpace of nine feet clear 
above the flue in the back wall; the length of the faid wall being 
(nearly) one hundred feet, there is, of courfe, a fpace contain- 
ing almofl: nine hundred fquare feet, and certainly there is no 
part of a Hot-houfe that can be rendered ufeful, which flaould 
remain unoccupied. A fpace, therefore, fo confiderable as 
the above, undoubtedly merits our attention. 
Now, in order to furnifli the back wall, let every fourth or 
' fifth Vine-plant be trained in one fhoot quite to the top of 
the rafter ; then diredt the flioot fldeway ten or twelve feet 
along the top of the back wall. At the winter’s pruning, 
bring down that part of the flioot perpendicularly, which, in 
the preceding feafon, was trained fideway, and cut it off at one 
foot above the top of the flue. The next fpring, encourage 
only two fhoots from the two extreme or lowermofl: eyes of- 
each fhoot fo brought down, and train them in an horizontal 
direflion one foot above the top of the flue. Thefe fhoots 
will, however, grow with greater readinefs, if they be trained 
upwards during the fummer; and in fuch cafe they may eafily 
be brought to the defired pofition at the next winter’s pruning. 
When the pruning is-finiflied, and the fhoots brought down 
and faftened in their proper pofition, they will form againfl 
the back wall the following figure j^, viz. the figure of the 
letter T reverfed.
