CULTURE OF THE VINE, &c. 125 
Another kind of Grape-houfe is conftrudled on a plan fimilar 
to that of a fingle-pitted Pine-ftove. In this, the flued wall 
Hiould be about fourteen feet high ; the roof fliould be llant- 
ing, and Ihould cover an extent of about fixteen feet; and a. 
flue fliould alfo run from the Eaftern to the Weftern extremity, 
near the front wall of the houfe. Thefe buildings are not 
only well calculated for grapes, but alfo for early crops of me- 
lons, ftrawberries. See, 
As glafs is the principal article of expence in eredling proper 
buildings for forcing, glafs-frames fliould be adapted, as much 
as pofTible, to anfwer different ends and purpofes. 
Where there are peach-houfes, the glafs-frames may be mad© 
ufeful in a double capacity, by having a building for Vines 
Gonflrudled of the fame dimenflons as thofe of the peach-houfe. 
For as peaches do not require to be covered with glafs later 
than the middle of fummer, a crop of grapes may be got by 
means of the fame glaflfes after that feafon. 
Melon-frames may alfo be applied to a double purpofe ; 
good crops of grapes may be obtained from Vines trained againft 
dwarf walls, that is, walls about fix feet high. Here a fmall 
flanting roof fliould be made of proper dimenflons for the melon- 
frame glafles. In both the lafl-mentioned cafes, a fmall de- 
gree of fire heat would be of fingular advantage, and might be 
applied either by a flued wall, the flue running through the 
houfe, ^
